I know the answer is somewhere on this site, but I couldn't find it exactly. Putting FZ1 mirrors on a 2013 gen III. Looks simple, did it on my '06.. But, I keep hearing about a "spacer" needed... If so must one make their own or....what? Mirrors will be here this week, I guess if necessary I...

Just a short "blurb" to announce that, as of today, I am the proud owner of a new 2013 FJR...After 3 years without due to crashing my 2006 FJR (May she rest in peace)! I/we have also escaped from CA and now reside in Idaho...Looking forward to some "genteel" travels on the new ride!

I realize this probably isn't the place to post this. I just want people to have the benefit of my "bad luck". I've been frustrated over the last few months with problems with the FJR. It seems that little black cloud following me is working overtime. I seem to have had almost every problem...

I'm starting a new thread to re-emphasize the importance of limiting the load placed in a top box! Feel free to combine it with the other threads on the issue. I have a 2006 FJR1300a (gen II). I have a Yamaha top trunk (with recall upgrade). 20,000 miles. I had the rear sub-frame replaced...

Bike: 2006 FJR1300A Problem Road Rash, both sides I think I get it. According to the Yamaha parts do-whiggie I need to replace the left and right upper cowling assemblies (3P6-W283H-00-P2 and 3P6-W283G-00-P2). Well I think I've discovered that it is NOT possible to replace those two pieces...

Quote from NWS: "This combined with the next upstream trough nudging the ridge eastward into the Great Plains again and another moist southwest flow to infuse tropical moisture northward into Utah once again. Finally...the Summer monsoon is at hand." Guess rain gear is in order? LC

I want to "erase" the "tip-over" fault codes from the ECU. As near as I can tell on the '06 that would be #30 when in Diagnostic mode. According to my reading I have none. I disconnected the battery for 5 days while working on the electrical system. Would that "reset" the ECU and wipe the...

OK, it's getting closer. All I have done is pay for the event. I haven't put in for time off or co-ordinated anything with my wife. I'm thinking Sacramento to Park City should be do-able in one day. Same goes for coming home. Absent any other possibilities that is what I plan on doing. All...

Last night when I went to work I noticed first the left headlight was dimmer than the right. After getting on the highway, I noticed the blue "high-beam" light on the panel was always on. Dim when on low beam and it's normal brightness when on high beam. Is this normal. Seems like it could...

OK, I'm faced with a dilemma. :dribble: Spend 4 hours searching for the very specific answer to my question(s). With an additional hour looking through the service manual for the answer. :blink: OR Just throw it out here and hope that someone answers it before I need to "do the research"...

OK, I know I'm a masochist. I decided to do the Helibar triple clamp/risers AND the McCruise installation over the weekend! Helibar done.. No problem. I think Mc Cruise instructions which I thought were extremely detailed (they are..but they aren't), have managed to confuse me. Not hard to...

Well, only 8 months on the bike and I just discovered my Yamaha top case is cracking/breaking around the "locking lug" at the bottom of the case (near the rear of the case when installed). This is a bummer, as WFO-6 is coming and the top case would be nice for the trip. I've searched the forum...

I tried searching, but found nothing. I haven't heard of this being asked/discussed before. Are the dash lights on the FJR adjustable for brightness? AGirl asked me and I have no idea. If anyone wants to be a good guy (or gal) and they know the answer, they could earn some brownie points if...

Not exactly related, but then the Garmin 2730 will soon be on my FJR. Question: I notice the Garmin 2730 can record MP3 files....Can XM "broadcasts" also be recorded to memory for later playback? LC

Just a note to thank all those contributing knowledge and answering FAQ's etc. :yahoo: Noticed my hard bag lock getting a little "sloppy". :dribble: Immediately recalled the info about screws coming out, etc. Stopped by auto parts store and got some security Torx (sic?) drivers and...

Went to one of the local dealers today. Ordered some key blanks, $8 apiece. 2 plastic washers and 2 clip-nuts (?), $5. Main reason for going was to transfer the remainder of the 1 year factory warranty into my name. I had called D&H and found out the 1 year warranty expires 8/05/2007. Was...

:yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: :rolleyes: :D :yahoo: :yahoo: What follows is a long drink of cool water for me. So, if it's in the wrong forum, or a duplicate thread then just deal with it. :dribble: :blink: :P But it's been a long, hard, EXPENSIVE two months since I bought my...

OK, well I've spent 30 minutes trying to find an answer via the search so my conscience is CLEAR! I'm going to install a PCIII on my 2006 today. I've already done the Barbarian Modification (henceforth known as the BM for brevity's sake). My question for you techies out there. Will the BM...

Well, commuting home at O dark-thirty this AM I was shocked/surprised to see the red oil idiot light come on and stay on. I had not warmed the bike up like I usually do, so I was taking it easy one the rpm's. However I had 2 bars showing on dial. I had just transitioned onto the freeway and...

Yes, I know....do a search. Well, I've been driving/working for 15 hours and don't feel like doing a search. So, I'll throw this out there, go get some rest, so I can do it again tonight and hope someone has pity and give me a "quick and clean" answer. Bought the 2006 FJR used. It has a...
