    Contemplating sale of R1

    What's a good price for it? '04 R1, 7500 mi., perfect condition. Original owner. Was thinking around $6500. What do you all think? Just don't ride it much anymore. Just considering it for now though! '04 Red R1 Mods: PCIIIusb, Graves Sliders, Graves Fender Elim., Intuitive clutch slider...

    Tired of screwing around with that screwdriver?

    I found this on RickMayercycle.com. I always take the GPS off no matter where I go anyways! This will make it a lot easier now! https://www.rickmayercycle.com/garminzumo.html

    Do you think we'll see a crossplane crank

    Sounds as a natural progression for Yamaha. More torque is always good! I think it could be a possibility on the next gen.

    Nady Driver-To-Passenger Motorcycle Intercom

    I don't know why this caught my attention, but it did. Anyone ever tried it? Looks as if after you put your helmet on, you just slide it up in your helmet, over your ear. Probably a POS, but just wondering! If it worked, it would be a cheap COM unit for Rider and Pass...

    Just made my reservation for Oct.

    This last summer my wife and I went to Virginia and Tn. instead of WNC as we usually do, just for a change. Although we had a great time, we missed WNC, as it's become our favorite home away from home and we've become friends with the locals and just like the area. Been going for a long time...

    It's been 3 yrs. now...

    Fla. does not require Ins. here, and frankly never felt the need for it till now! I must be getting old or something, because now I do! At least for my wife! lol I just never worried about it! I figured, just like when I used to race, if I wrecked it, I'd fix it! I have med. at work, so we were...

    Michelin ROAD 2 problem?

    I've been running the Road 2's for a while and noticed something strange considering the mileage. First I have approx. 3500 mi. on these. Front is set and maintained @ 40 lbs. and rear @ 42 lbs. because we are loaded most of the time. We ride mainly 2 up with bags and trunk. Always have. I've...

    Everyone else did it!

    Put pics of my Russell Seat on here that is! Unfortunately I was unable to get in on the group buy earlier, but thanks to Uncle Sam's stimulus check, I stimulated Russell and myself! lol It is a big difference I must say! My big ass is liking this! lol Takes some getting used to at stop lights...

    I believe mine has contracted the ticking desease!

    It's pretty pronounced between 2000 -2500 rpm. Were planning our trip in June and were planning around 1000 mi. for one week. I guess I've heard it for a while now, but just ignored it. Don't have time to do anything about it before we go. Runs fine, just ticks! Just wondering how long you can...

    Adjusting the balancers

    Just perusing thru the manual and wondered if anyone has adjusted the balancers just to see if it helped smooth out the motor any. I know the factory usually just gets items like that just in the ball park and a little fine tuning does a lot. I find my engine to be pretty damn smooth, but just...

    I don't know why, but......

    My fuel mileage used to range in the 42-43 average. Most of my riding is 2 up (80%). Last few tanks have averaged 46-47 with the last one (just filled up tonight) giving 47.7 mpg. It hasn't had plugs or air filter in 6000 mi. I'm not complaining, just wondering! Motor's probably going to go...

    Someone please confirm my suspicion

    Looking at this motor for my '03. It's an '06 and it looks identical to my '03 physically, except for FI. It was stated that the Gen II's didn't have a VSS (Vehicle Speed Sensor), but had a Gear Selection Sensor instead. The port is identical to the VSS if it is. I'm thinking of picking this up...

    '06 engine into '03 chassis

    Came across an '06 engine in good shape. If you use all the '03 components (fuel and electronics) will it interchange? I'm thinkin it should. Am I right?

    I was bored today!

    I've never really been bothered by the heat of the FJR, even on 100 degree days! At least I didn't think it bothered me! Just lived with it and got used to it I guess. But, I figured why not see what I'm missing. So I made the little air dam and removed the inner panel. I can honestly say it's...
