This battery has been in the bike for at least 5 years and I suspect it time to replace it. When the bike is hot, like riding in traffic on a warm day, and I shut it off, if I try to re-start withing a few minutes, the battery can barely turn the engine over. Otherwise, when cold or at normal...

I have narrowed my choice for a replacement rear shock on the '06 FJR to the stock one from a newer bike (gen 3)or the Hagon. The basic Hagon is a tad less money but the Yamaha would (hopefully) allow for the usual adjustments. Don't want to spend more money as I am not a serious carver on...

Heading out from Toronto through Sarnia and along the eastern edge of Michigan ( Hwy 25 and 23)and up through Mackinaw City. Along 2 up to Houghton then through Duluth along 61 to Thunder Bay...etc. Any spots in the US part of the trip I should check out? I will be stopping at Betty's Pies...

I live up in Canada and have had occasion to want an item that is listed for sale, then see "shipping to lower 48" or " shipping CONUS only" Is there some reason that it's hard to ship to Canada? I have shipped stuff to the US and , yes, there are a couple of extra boxes to fill in on the form...

Found this rather interesting. Much click bait but worth scrolling down to read. https://www.gizmag.com/motoinno-ts3-motorcycle-suspension-steering-moto2/42378/

It has a National Cycle logo but I can't find anything on their site the same. It looks very much like a Yamaha Touring. 22" tall x 20" wide. fits gen II Thoughts?

I have has this '06 for 2 seasons now and never been really happy with the way it feels in corners. Did the full length of hwy 219 from Virginia up to Buffalo last summer and, in the twisties, it felt unpredictable. I'm not a peg scraping type of rider but I do like to have some fun in the...

Anyone removed the instrument bezel on a Gen 2? How much of a PITA is it? I get a wicked sun glare off the silver plastic and want to paint it flat black. I put some black tape on as a test and it makes a big difference to the glare when the sun is behind me. Can also mask off the gauges and...

So I have done a few things to get better throttle control of the '06. Spring unwind, cable adjustment, PAIR bypass and custom cutting the throttle tube to emulate the G2 cam profile. After a few months of riding, i was pretty happy with the results. A couple of days ago, I installed the PC5...

I can purchase a Power Commander III for around $280 while the V is around $350. Is there any real advantage to the V over the III for basic "smoothness" mapping? I don't really need the 2 stage map option of the V. Thoughts?

I know this sounds odd but I would like to listen to a stock exhaust on a gen 2 bike. Please email me if you live anywhere near Toronto. [email protected]

I just completed a real life test of the Cee Bailey +4 and the California Scientific +4 wind screens. I'm 6' tall with 31 inseem...stock seat at high position... Helli triple tree and 1" riser blocks so fairly high on the bike. Tested with and without a 20mm spacer mod to the bracket and in...

I had a chance to go out for a day and try the 2006 in a variety of driving conditions. On the highway and above 4000 rpm, very quiet. However, if I am tooling along on side roads at 70 kmH, I have to keep it in 2nd gear and above , at least, 3500 rpm to eliminate a fairly substantial 150 htz...

So I wanted to replace the horns with some FIAAM blasters and while in there, get the windscreen auto retract disabled. Could not get to the little connector without releasing the front cowl. There was no facial grimace or use of language that could get me access. Now I have worked on an...

I have tried a variety of searches and looked through tech posts and must be blind! Is there a detailed instructional on repairing the grounding issue? As I am very comfortable, and experienced with wiring, I'm not going to spend money on a harness but will do the modifications myself. Just...

I'm a "new guy" so I may be covering old ground. My "new" 2006 has the usual problem with the throttle. I have never had a bike with such a short turn to full throttle ! I am getting used to it but still having problems making nice smooth gear changes. Today is slack adjustment day to see if...

I just bought a 2006 1300 with the ignition disabler system that requires a chip key. As I understand it, this is a European and Canadian addition that those in the US don't have. There is a red coding key that comes with the ECU ( I don't have one) and that allows the ECU to be coded to the...
