    Parts For Sale Parting Out My ‘08 (Update)

    I need the left glove box, or mostly just the lid. Also I need the battery cover (mostly) or the battery box and cover if it is easier.

    Stator for 2009 FJR AE

    Thanks for the offer hppants, but as ionbeam has mentioned the stator will not work. If anybody is still following this thread, as I mentioned above, I now have an extra Gen II stator which I obtained from a salvage yard. This stator is for sale, and I will advertise it in its own posting in...

    FJR AE Extended Warranty - YES vs Zurich vs Both

    I bought my 2009 AE (automatic clutch) with 15K Miles. I bought it from a dealer who is 2000 miles distant. The dealer also sold me a Zurich two-year extended warranty (highest level of coverage) for $600. But the dealer did not tell me that the bike already has a Factory YES warranty that...

    FJR AE (and A) Voltage Drops

    Thank you, bounce. I'll be careful about double postings in the future. As some have mentioned, I am now typing my longer postings in another editor. I lost about half an hour of work on another posting when the system did not take the "Post" command.

    2009 FJR1300 AE R/R to Battery 10 Gauge Wire Harness Installation

    OK, thanks!! I was wondering about the ground spiders. I'll be working on the bike this afternoon. I think I'll put it together and worry about the low voltage at the fuse blocks another time.

    2009 FJR1300 AE R/R to Battery 10 Gauge Wire Harness Installation

    mcatrophy, thank you for the clarifications on terminology and for the additional information. I am in the process of going back to the wiring diagram to sort out your comments with what I am seeing on the bike. I should have mentioned that I have wiring diagrams, both for the 2009 A and the...

    FJR AE (and A) Voltage Drops

    I have mostly completed installation of the a 10 gauge wire harness from Roadstercycle.com, but I just discovered I have an additional problem. After the installation, the voltage across the battery is 14.0 volts, which is excellent (it has increased from 13.1 V)!! But I have found significant...

    2009 FJR1300 AE R/R to Battery 10 Gauge Wire Harness Installation

    mcatrophy, your pictures are outstanding!! The layout on your '06 A looks different from my '09 AE, but I can ask my question based on your bike. On your bike the heaviest red wire runs from the battery to a black 90 deg. connector at what looks like the starter relay you referred to. A...

    2009 FJR1300 AE R/R to Battery 10 Gauge Wire Harness Installation

    Thanks for the suggestions sme and Chuck35. sme, the thermal sleeving looks outstanding! Chuck35, your suggestion has benefits and possible risks. The benefit is that the factory leads from the R/R to the battery are already in place, so cutting off the large plastic connector and using the...

    2009 FJR1300 AE R/R to Battery 10 Gauge Wire Harness Installation

    Thank you, mcatrophy!! I've already have the side panel off, and this will work perfectly for me. I have a couple of questions regarding the fourth picture, which shows the forks and has two red arrows. At the 4 o'clock position from the top red arrow is a single spade connector which shows a...

    2009 FJR1300 AE R/R to Battery 10 Gauge Wire Harness Installation

    Hi All, I have a 2009 FJR1300 AE and I have been working with Brodie, ionbeam, and Donal (plus reading lots of posts on the forum) to solve electrical problems. I am currently installing a 10 Guage regulator/rectifier-to-battery wiring harness made by RoadsterCycle.com. I made a temporary...

    Stator for 2009 FJR AE

    Many thanks to Brodie, ionbeam, and Donal for their contributions to this thread. I started this thread looking for a stator, which is why I posted in the classified forum. I have additional problems, and I am going to post in one of the discussion forums. To close this out, here is what I...

    Stator for 2009 FJR AE

    OK, I haven't been posting, but I have been sleuthing. 1. I checked the regulator output (red black) as Brodie suggested - its 14.2 at about 3K rpm (yea!!). This compares to 13.2 volts across the red and black at the battery. So who ate the missing volt? As discussed below, I discovered I am...

    Stator for 2009 FJR AE

    Donal, I saw a previous posting by you where you mentioned that you live close to Ricks. The higher output comments are very interesting. To me, you have tradeoffs. If you want more power out of the stator, you have to add more windings. This using the same wire and making the stator larger...

    Stator for 2009 FJR AE

    Regarding electrosport, I used one of their regulators when my stock yamaha regulator failed on the road. It lasted about 500 miles and then failed. They supplied me with another one, which lasted 1000 miles and then failed. Both were installed at a Yamaha shop, one in Albuquerque and the...

    Stator for 2009 FJR AE

    Thank you Donal!! The cautionary tale is hugely helpful!! I talked to Ricks about a rewind and it takes about two weeks including shipping both ways. I found another used stator for $170, $70 cheaper than the other one I found. Since I use my bike almost every day, I have ordered that...

    Stator for 2009 FJR AE

    Does anybody have a stator for a 2009 FJR1300 (I believe 2006-2010 will work)? Any suggestions on where I can find one? Any salvage yards that specialize in Yamaha and/or FJR? Ricks and Electrosport don't have them. The three Yamaha warehouses in the US are all back ordered with estimated...
