I visited a local motorcycle dealer today, they sell just about everything but Harley and Victory. As I was getting off of my FJRAE one of the salesman comes over and asks me to look at it. I asked the salesman what he was looking for, he replied he's never seen an FJR before. Shocked I asked...

Just got off the phone where my bike has been laid up for several weeks now due to a short. Unfortunately Yamaha's tech people and the mechanics working on the bike were unable to locate it, so they have asked Yamaha to agree to a new wiring harness. Yamaha Motor Corp USA has done just that...

Just wondering. My FJR has been in the shop for almost two weeks without being looked at. I know it is summer time and these shops get backed up, but I would figure Yamaha would keep better track of these things, especially the bikes under warranty that may have a Lemon Law getting ready to bite...

Three years ago I purchased the Harbor Freight motorcycle lift. I can honestly say this was a decent investment, not knowing anything about the quality of these lifts from HF Tools at the time. Mine has held up rather well, about the only thing I wish they had when I got mine was the air jack...

I recently added a Shad 46 top box to my FJR. When I tried to get the pieces I needed to complete the install of the top box I was told they may not be able to get them for me, and I might be better off if I could find another supplier. I did however find another supplier in Canada that has...

Every once in a while we need to bite the bullet and take our precious Fjr's in for warranty repair. Because the FJR incorporates so much technology I think it may be in all of our best interest to give a shout to the cream of the crop. The shops who care about customer satisfaction, and the...

Today I took about a 10 mile ride on the FJR AE, all seemed fine when I stopped it and went into a store. A few minuets later I hopped on the bike, turned the key and hit the starter switch. I do remember hitting the button for the finger shift at the same time as I hit the start switch, right...

I recently lowered the FJR by 7/8" in the rear only. I have been happy to allow more of my feet to actually touch the ground while at a stop, especially when it's almost 100 degrees out and there's oil all over the road. My happiness came to a quick thud today when riding through a mall parking...

I have been reading how to put the throttle bodies in sync and the tool used to make this happen. My problem I have seen the Motion Pro tool used and was going to purchase one, but go figure they are on backorder and won't be available until sometime late summer, this according to one of the...

While reading different posts several have caught my eye. They have to do with Smart Tire? Now I know they are available on cars, from what I'm reading we can have this installed on motorcycles? Is there a special tire and system needed to make this system work on my FJR? If so, where do you get...

A while back I started getting a small magazine that caters to motorcycle riders called Motorcycle Consumer News. They do not accept any type of advertisments from any manufacturer and they are un-biased in their approach to any add on's, tools, and motorcycles. link www.mcnews.com. This...

I am thinking of installing a EFI on my FJR. First I have a few questions, I'd like to be sure I'm putting the best piece on the bike I can buy, adjust, that includes Plug N Play. 1) Need an EFI that will adjust the fuel right now and that will get rid of the lean condition the bike was...

I just got the new KoubaLink's in I previously ordered for my FJR. I have done a little reading about them and wanted to know if anyone else had experienced the difference (if there is any) in the handling or will there be any side stand alteration? The reason I ask is my inseam is only 30" so I...
