I love this thing! I get home, hit the garage button, drive in and park. No leaning on the kick stand, and no center stand! You just park the bike straight up. I've been using this chock all year and I don't think I could go back. I highly recommend Check it out!

I dropped my 2003 silver in my driveway. All the parts I've seen pass through eBay have seem to have dried up. Anybody recommend an online parts dealer who might have good prices on OEM left side upper and lower fairing, and a generator cover? Thanks!

I never dropped a bike.... until today! It did't realize it but my kickstand does not always lock forward completely when put down. I moved my FJR to the oposite side of my driveway as I've done many times but did not pay enought attention to the kick stand position. It does not lock in down and...

This is my second Smuggler. I waited 7 weeks for the first one, and was sent the 2004 color. I mailed it back to Corbin and they speeded this (correct for 2003) out to me in two weeks. They were easy to deal with and did not make excuses; they just sent the new one out ASAP. I love the style and...

I've got a friend looking for a FJR near Northen Virginia. If anyone knows of one in good shape please let me know. Thanks, Tom

I love my Starmate Reply and Techmount. I finally have great uninterrupted music with no commercials piped right into my helmet. My whole setup is basically the unit, the mount and the magnetic antenna I placed on the gas tank. When I bought the Techmount I ordered both the long and short...

I think I'm going to by a SIRIUS Starmate Replay receiver for my FJ. I've given up on the FM reception and I'm thinking of trying Sirius. I like that the Starmate is illuminated and has large buttons I can work with my gloves. Any advice at all about signal reception or mounting set-ups would be...

While I was reading someone else’s post it gave me the idea to make a list of all the bikes I’ve owned. If I were asked, I’d say I must have had 25 or more over the years. I always thought the number was much higher because was remembering bikes I’ve only ridden or my friend’s bikes and listing...

I enjoy listening to the radio while I ride. I prefer FM over satellite but I am having a hard time finding a setup that looks good. Currently I use a walkman which I attached to by clutch reservoir. The Walkman functions fine but the reception is not reliable. I looked at a marine unit by...

I went to the dealer for engine oil & filter plus gear oil for the drive shaft. I always try to buy what the manufacturer recommends. The dealer had the Yamalube engine oil (usually they don't) and I bought the gear oil they said the bike takes. This is a Yamaha product but is just labeled...

My bike and my boys. The bike is 2, the crew is 3 and 4.

When I purchased my FJR I took the side cases off, put the plugs in the holes and have never used the cases. I resently removed the clear plastic stickers which came on the bike to protect the paint around the holes where the cases mount. Has any seen any signs of paint damage the finish around...

I am taking advice and have a PC-III on the way. I will install it this weekend but was wondering if anyone knows if I should return the CO settings back to original (I added 5 points to each hole). Also, should I return the BJM wires back to there stock positions? I sure hope this part cure my...

I recently read an article connecting reduced exhaust-valve/valve-guide life in small aviation engines to utilizing ultra lean fuel mixtures. As I read around this forum looking ways to richen up my FJR and get rid of the lean surge (tried the BJM, will prob now try PCIII) I was wondering if...

Ok... After reading here and discussing with the dealer, I've determined that my bikes surges from a lean factory fuel mixture. My bike runs so nice when the engine is cold. I would like to attempt a fix but am unsure about which solution to try. I am not concerned about losing a little power...

I am the second owner of a 2003 FJR with only 2800 miles. It looks brand new. I have only one problem. When I ride and maintain a constant speed of 35 or under the engine seems to have a hard time dealing with the small throttle openings. The ride is a little jerky.... The bike seems very happy...
