Have a 2005 FJR with 18K miles on it. Noticed a soiled front rim and inspected it only to find the black stuff is slippery and oily. The rims usually get a bit of brake dust on them but this was darker than normal. Perhpas some brake dust and brake fluid mixed? Oily right front rotor as well...

I have a set from an 05 with 10K miles on them. Left side is mint and right side has small dent (size of a quarter) from a zero speed lean against garage door track. $200 + shipping for the set. Let me know if you would like to see some pictures. v65mike

Jumper mod complete. CO settings came right up in the diag screen. Increased each cylinder +7. Took it out for a ride. I noticed a difference right away. Since the smoothness is a slightly better and the mid range power is more than slightly better, is there any downside to running this...

Thanks for the quick response! So you did not bother to get a set of connector pins? (not even sure where I would go to get those). You just put the resistor in the appropriate holes (25 and 29) in the connector? I guess this will make the connection to the pins in the ECU so I can do the CO...

Are the instructions for the 2004 Barbarian Jumper Mod the proper ones to use for the 2005 model year? https://www.fjrtech.com/getdbitem.cfm?item=6 Thanks, v65mike

I am interested in developing some kind of backrest that mounts to the Yamaha factory trunk base plate (instead of the trunk). I would do it to provide a nicer (wider, softer, less vibration) version of backrest for my pillion than the stock trunk does. Any thoughts, ideas? Would this be...

I purchased my 05 from a guy that had to sell it after only 3200 miles on the clock in order to buy an engagement ring for his girlfriend. Without seeing how hot she was or ever meeting her, I can safely say that I got the better end of that deal. V65mike

Here is the Gen II version. Click

Matt, I have a set of stock mufflers off of an '05 with 10K miles. The right side can has a very, very small crease in it. It happened while maneuvering it into storage in the fall. Left side is perfect. I purchased a set of pipes off of the forum last fall and will be doing the swap and...

'84 Honda V65 Sabre It had a great motor and decent ergonomics (until I drove the FJR for the first time). What a dream?

I had a good friend killed on an interstate in WI. He had a flat tire (driver side rear) and pulled all the way off the right side to change it. He was completely over the "rumble strips" and partly on the grass. While changing the tire, mr. pickup came by, crossed the rumble strip on the...

Here are a couple more... V65mike

I have a set of mufflers off of an 05 FJR that I am going to post this spring (when I swap them for different mufflers). The right side has a very small crease in it and the left side is perfect. Let me know if you are interested. V65Mike

Has anyone thought about coming up with some kind of backrest that quickly mounts to a Yamaha factory trunk mounting plate? I am considering purchasing a generic backrest and fashioning something that can be quickly mounted to the black deck that comes with the Yamaha top case (trunk). Thoughts?

I have used the following technique for years in the spring and fall when I am commuting directly East and West during sunrise and sunset. I put two thicknesses of black electrical tape to the "lowest part" of my helmet's faceshield and then flip it up to full up position. Now the visor is out...

I am planning on doing this mod over the winter and I was wondering about 2 things: 1. Has anyone ever gone "backwards" to their original CO settings and try to see if the original throttle response of the bike changed back? 2. Or has anyone ever done a double blind test to see if an owner...

Can anyone let us know what year(s) of FJR stock mufflers are compatible with other years? Are 03, 04, and 05 interchangeable? What about 06 and 07? Thanks, V65mike

Any comments from the forum on the shape and size of the vent hole(s)? I am considering whippin' out the Dremel tool over the winter and cutting out a vent. I read the whole post and searched the web and discovered that several windshield manufacturers do what Cal Sci does with the vent. I...

I ordered the heat troller and Dual Star heated grip elements in a kit from here; https://www.warmnsafe.com/ Regards, V65Mike

I love my FJR (in all weather conditions) and I have an observation. After installing a set of Dual Star heated grips and a Heat Troller on my '05 FJR, the machine has just transformed into the perfect bike for the late fall and early spring riding conditions in WI. This mod, along with a Cee...
