    fog/spot combo fork light source

    About 4 years ago I bought some incredible 2" LED lights to mount on the forks on my 2020 FJR1300ES. They were sold by advmonster.com, which is out of business now. What was so awesome about these lights is that they had a lower power amber fog light with a decent cutoff to not blind oncoming...

    Crash report

    I haven't been checking in much since I retired 4 years ago. Since then I bought a 2020 FJR1300ES and sold my 2007 FJR that I put 145,000 miles on. And now my motorcycle world may be changing. My wife and I are mourning the loss of her 2013 NC700 DCT back in July 2023 that was totalled after a...

    Reflections on life and death

    Besides riding motorcycles, I'm also an avid hunter. There's the allure of going back to our roots as hunter/gatherers and being personally involved in acquiring healthy, hormone and antibiotic free sustenance for the table. It's much easier to just go to the grocery store for steaks, but I'd...

    Clutch slave cylinder seal

    I've noticed that there was some "oil" leaking near the oil filler cap on my 115,000 mile FJR. I figured that the Harley Davidson highway pegs I installed 100,000 miles ago finally corrupted the FJR. :) LOL I snugged up all the bolts in the area and checked the filler cap O ring, yet the...

    Penco Power Products, Kalispell, MT

    Gotta give a thumbs up to a Yamaha dealer, Penco Power Products www.pencoadventures.com/ in Kalispell, MT. The rear OEM Metzler tire on the wife's Honda NC700XD suddenly developed visible cords when we were in Hot Springs, MT last Friday. The first shop I called had no 160/60 ZR17 tires, but...

    Cam timing experts needed

    My 2007 FJR1300 has been in spec for all previous valve clearance checks until the latest one at 110,000 miles. The outboard #4 exhaust was too tight and 3 other valves were at the lower limit, so all 4 were adjusted. The crank gear was positioned correctly, the #1 cam lobes were pointing...

    FJRF009.4 "Spider"/Intermittent Ground Wire Failures 2010 and Later Research

    Despite the redesign of wiring harnesses, starting with the 2010 model year FJR, it appears that the same spider connections are still present in 2010 to 2012 FJR’s and the first failure reports are starting to trickle in. I’m starting this thread in an effort to track these failures and gather...

    Going 70 in the fast lane, bike dies, I don't

    If the topic sounds familiar, it's because someone experienced the same problem a scant 2 weeks ago. But this morning it was time for my 07 FJR to pull a "Burleigh." Our rush "hour" starts early and goes long here in the metro Seattle/Tacoma area. I was merging onto Highway 167 at about...

    Gen I rear rotor thickness

    We all know that the Gen II weighs more than a Gen I FJR, but it looks like Yamaha tried to keep the weight down by going to thinner rear rotors. According to my manual and actual measurements, my 07 has a new rear rotor thickness of 5mm with a wear limit of 4.5mm. Iggy's comparison matrix...

    New Motobatt on the way

    I recently replaced the almost 12 year old factory Motorcraft battery in my truck when it started to get a little slow on cranking. I really hate having my truck not start when I'm miles from a paved road in the middle of nowhere while hunting. :( :angry2: So even though it hadn't failed...
