A close friend and coworker has a good photo of Keith Urban entered into a photo contest at MSNBC. She could use a few extra votes to win the contest. She is currently in 4th place and could use a boost to get first. Please help her out by voting for her picture. Instructions: 1. Goto...

I have decided to finally get my '05 ticker fixed at 19k miles and 3yrs of service. The bike was bought from D&H in Cullman, AL. When I went in for my 600mi service, I was given a bunch of grief because I had a non-Yamaha oil filter on the bike. As a result, I have never been back - doing all...

All, Besides riding the FJR, I have branched into photography as a second hobby. I have long been taking photos of our group rides and get some good feedback. This past weekend, I was asked to photograph a mini-bike trackday in Decatur, AL. So, I gave it a try. If you would, take a look at...

I'm overdue to flush the front fork oil and plan to tackle the task this weekend. I see the factory recomends 10wt fork oil. Is 10wt really the best bet? Or would it be better to goto a heavier/lighter weight? I'm 185lb and ride very aggressively. The reason I ask is that I had a YZF600R...

Well, how is the FJR EOM going? Pictures?

Would a Ohlins 46PRXLS work on an '05 FJR w/ ABS? I have a friend who has decided to go track-day-only in WERA 600cc series. Just before making this move, he acquired an Ohlins 46PRXLS on an ebay auction which he was planning on putting on his R1. Now that plans have changed, he has this...

What parts are needed to do the Do-It-Yourself Tuning block? Can I get the longer bolts at Home Depot/Lowes or do I need to goto a better hardware store? What is the spec on the two needed bolts? How many washers to get the angle right?

This past weekend, I loaded up the FJR and attended the YZF600R / Ron "Cyclenerd" Paulsen Memorial Ride in Stecoah, NC. We stayed at the IronHorse Lodge and rode Deal's Gap a few times, Cherohala Skyway, Hwy 28, etc. SOooo, I know what some of you are already thinking. Why the hell did you...
