    Anyone changed fork oil on a Gen III yet?

    As the title states, I'm wondering if anyone has done a Fork oil change on a Gen III yet. As an availability concern, I'm particularly curious how the different valving reacts to oils thicker than Yamaha 01 (15.6 cSt @ 40C). I've found a few threads that discuss fork oil weight, but they are...

    Regular vs Heavy rated tires question

    I haven't been able to find a thread discussing this after using both the site search tool and google searches. I would like to hear if anyone has had experience with running the same model of tires in both regular and GT/Heavy rated versions (PR4 vs. PR4 GT). I'm interested in if there were...

    Back in the fold

    I'm finally, once again, an FJR haver! 100% stock with a fully broken in 33k miles and a full service history. Took all day to go get it from Knoxville. And would have been impossible without support from my wife. She's absolutely a keeper.

    LED replace met for H4 bulbs?

    Copied this from another forum. Has anyone seen these LED CREE H4 replacement kits? https://www.electricalconnection.com/other-lighting/led-hl-h4.htm Supposedly there's a write-up in the latest Motorcyclist (Feb '14, p 60). They claim 1800 Lumens vs 1050 for a regular Halogen.

    Farther than I thought.

    I was just looking at my old pictures and realized that I've some how added 7,000mi to my clapped out '01. Didn't think I'd been out that much considering how much work I had to do on it. I figured I'd post a few pics of where I've been this year. A few 400mi days of boring highway to the south...

    Rich and rough engine woes -- 2001 (03 US) Gen 1

    I was just playing with my TBS and noticed that no matter how hard I try I cant get the vacuum reading to get above 16cmHg while staying in balance. I've been having problems with my idle performance since I bought the bike. It likes to wander by about 500rpm even when warm and stays there for...

    Link Arm Bearing Kit Gen1?

    Does anyone know if there is a kit out there I can source to refit my rear linkage? I just priced the parts I might need and it isn't cheap. Right now I have one bearing at the bottom of the shock that I know for sure is seized. There is minimal play in the arm it's self, but the collar is...
