I noticed that the dash light bulb betwwen the speedo and tach flickers on and off intermittently. If I were to tap the dash, it would stay lit for a while. Can I buy the bulb replacements at my local auto store or are these Yamaha proprietary parts? Also, is there another way to remove the dash...

I'm looking into adding this setup on my '05. To those that have them, has anyone experienced any fluid leakage or pegs breaking off during normal use? Is there anything in particular I need to be aware of during and after the installation? Also, would the folding extensions be considered a must...

Looking for a reasonably priced, used, Gadgetguy enclosure with FJR mounts. It's the one for the Garmin SP2720. PM me with your asking price.

Ooops, wrong place to post this WTB ad. PM me anyway if you have one for sale.

Looking for a second GPS to use with the FJR. My wife has laid claim to my 2720 for use on her minivan. I'll be looking for a replacement GPS when riding season starts. Will I be happy going from the 2720 to the Tom Tom Rider? No frills required such as MP3 or XM radio; just the basics such as...

This is a great looking jacket. It took about 1 1/2 weeks to arrive via US Mail. It's a walking/posing jacket; not recommended as a sole riding jacket. The outer material feels more like lightweight denim than microfiber. The lining is lightly padded for spring or fall weather. Graphics and...

I'm looking for recommendations on a single motorcycle trailer for the FJR. A low, fold-up for storing, profile would be ideal due to limited garage storage space. BTW, can a Cavalier with a 2.2 liter engine handle the weight? Thanks.

I currently own a Garmin 2720 which I use between the car, van, and the FJR. My wife has decided that she wants her own GPS for use in the family van. She loves the easy to use interface of the 2720. I'm thinking of giving her the 2720 and buying the Quest 2 for the bike. For those that are...

Has anyone mounted a set on their FJR? I'm looking for reviews/comments/pros/cons on the subject.

I've finally decided to mount the GPS on the right side using RAM mounts and the Garmin 26xx/27xx motorcycle kit. I haven't decided on the wiring method yet; direct or indirect. I do also have a Powerlet ordered. The direct view of the instrument panel is excellent. With my Cortech tank bag in...

For those that have the Garmin 26xx/27xx series, how did you mount your system on the FJR? I've recently acquired the 2720 and am looking for mounting suggestions utilizing the RAM mounting system. I saw that Garmin makes a motorcyle kit (cradle + wiring w/audio out) for the 26xx series. Will...

This is the one I saw at the dealership recently. It's dark blue with a single white stripe at the edge of the brim. The Yamaha logo is in the back. Is this what Yamaha is sending out?

Ok, I've just read that Garmin just released the Quest 2. For those in the GPS user community, could the Quest 2 be the new "must have"? What are the advantages of one over the other?

Does anyone know of a company that rents GPS units? I'd like to try out the Garmin 276c before spending the big bucks. For those of that have this unit, is it fairly simple to use? Does it have a hard drive or does it use flash memory? I've heard that there's a base map preloaded. How much...

I just added the Power Commander with Wally's smoothness map last night. I test rode the FJR this morning and noticed the immediate lessening of heat from the engine. It's down considerably and feels comfortable. If I knew this was going to be the result, I would have added it at the very...

I'll be installing my new and improved superbrace for ABS this weekend. What is the ideal fork load setting for a 190 lb. rider? I may also have an occassional pillion at 130 lbs. Is the factory setting sufficient?

I called on shipping status for my anodized brace. I was told that it's being shipped tomorrow via UPS ground. Arrival date should be around next Wednesday in Chicago.
