    2013 FJR for sale

    Hi, I am posting as my late boyfriend AKjitsu. With deep regret I must tell you he passed away in July. Now I need to find a new home for the FJR. He took really good care of it and loved it greatly. Here is the link to the Craig's list ad. It's in the Phoenix area...

    Friend with ES problem rebuilding shock

    This may be more appropriate for the tech problems area but, I'm looking for exposure to the most experience possible. I have a friend (contrary to what some you assholes may think) who's ridden BMW's and Ducati's all his days. I've been extolling the virtues of the "bulletproof" Feejer to him...

    Samsung Galaxy – Garmin 600 – SMH10-R pairing?

    When I had my Android this was pretty easy. Just paired the Android to the Garmin one time. Paired the Garmin to the Sena one time. Then all I had to do was throw the phone in my pocket, turn on the Garmin, wait for them to pair, turn on the Sena and wait for it to pair to the Garmin and be on...

    Why yes as a matter of fact, Gen III paint is shit.

    I washed the bike a few days ago (Go ahead Skooter. Bring the hate. I can take it.) and in the process came to the realization that the paint (and stock windscreen) are chipped up all to hell. Mind you, this is a 2013 with 25,000 measly miles. As luck would have it, I had a chance to compare to...

    Another failure to ATGATT

    Beemerdon Compilation (Put all your BD jokes here)

    A group of American tourists came in. One of the Americans said, in a loud voice, "I hear you Irish think your great drinkers. I bet 5,000 euros that no-one hear can drink 30 pints of Guinness in 30 minutes." The bar was silent, the American noticed one Irishman leaving, no-one took up the bet...

    Touch Up Paint?

    So where can a guy get a touch up pen for the 2013 US "battleship metallic" that, unlike the earlier Colorite product, actually matches? I've been googling for an hour and am starting to get a migraine. Thanks in advance.

    Shoie RF-1200: Caution.

    So, tried the new RF-1200 as a potential replacement for my trusty RF-1100. All in all, it’s a worthy upgrade. Better ventilation and quieter. And the included Pinlock is always a plus. One major problem, at least for where I ride. Some genius at Shoie apparently decided that their dark face...

    2013 Cruise control: Phooey!

    Well, I got a phone call from Yamaha USA re; my inquiry as to whether there was going to be an easy fix for the 2013 cruise control limitation. Their response could be summarized as “No fix exists. None planned. Tough shit.” This chaps my shorts not so much because of any effect it has on the...

    SPLIT: Off-Topic Crap About Replacement Bulbs

    Probably a NEPRT question but, are there any replacement bulbs out there that actually improve downrange visibility when installed in the original FJR fixtures?

    Locking mount for Zuma 660?

    Any way (other than buying a machine shop and doing some fabricating) to rig a locking mount for a Zumo 660/665 on a Gen II/III Feejer?

    Radar detector cover.

    At long last. Finally found a rain cover for my Escort 8500. A little spendy @ $40.00 but, beats stopping to throw a sandwich bag over the RD when the moisture appears. Got it from these guys in New Zealand. One week from order to in my hands. https://www.radardirect.co.nz/

    Shorten Cee Bailey?

    Being rather dimensionally twerpish, I’ve found the stock Gen III windscreen to be about 90% perfect. But, since we’re always looking for something just a bit better I scored a Cee Bailey “Sport” screen; the smallest they make. Overall, the buying experience was excellent. Four days from order...

    Gen III Windshield removal.

    Do those covers over the mounting screws just pop off?

    Gen III TBS

    There seems to be some discussion re; whether or not the revered Unauthorized Throttle Body Synch will work with the Gen III bike. Anybody know for sure?

    Fairlainer shamed me into it.

    Ever since Fairlainer presented us with a proper front fender for a 2013 I’ve been seeing my black plastic version as kinda ghetto/cheap-ass/low-class. As we all know, since time immemorial Feejers have had front fenders the same color as the rest of the plastic. It’s how it’s ever been and...

    Mayday! Need front rim in Salt Lake City!

    I know this should go in Classifieds. But my BFF bent his front rim on the way here from PHX and we don't have much time. Gen I if that matters. Thanks. AK

    Anybody running the Sena SMH-10R?

    I’ve had an SMH-10 for a while and consider it to be an altogether splendid device. I only use it for cell phone: connected through my Zumo 660 to my Droid.. The only negative is that a helmet with the Borg-like SMH-10 on the side won’t fit in a hard pannier. When the SMH-10R came out I thought...
