I'm interested in trading my FJR for an FZ1 (or similar). I'm looking for a lighter, more sporty bike. The FJR is a great bike; I just don't ride it like I was planning (two up touring). My background is sportbikes and trackdays. While I'm no longer doing trackdays, I do miss my more sport...

Hey gang, Is anyone interested in trading a low mileage Gen 1 for my low mileage (21,000) Gen 2? I don’t like the linked ABS braking system. I prefer the simplicity of separate front and rear systems. Location is in MO

Do the headlight adjusters really do anything? I’ve fiddled with mine, giving them several turns each way, and I can’t seem to tell a difference. There’s some “resistance” when I’m turning the knobs, so I’m sure the cable isn’t broken (I only at 21,000 miles). This is the first bike I’ve had...

Out of curiosity I checked my CCT. No green dot. I’m doomed. Crap!

How do you completely remove the adjustable side vents on a Gen II? I can open them a bit, but can’t seem to remove them from the larger side fairing. Any tips?

This weekend I'm doing a bunch of maintenance to my 2008. One task is coolant change. I'll be removing the side fairings (or at least the left one for complete access to the radiator cap & reservoir). Besides taking it slow, is there anything in particular to look for? I'm used to my...

Hey guys, I was out of the motorcycle game for a while; life got very busy and left me with zero ride time. Took a 30 minute spin last night to run an errand. So glad to be back, not only on the bike, but back here as well. You guys helped me a lot when I first got my bike, so I’m glad to be...

I'm looking for a replacement shock for my 2008.  I'd like to keep it below $600 if possible.  I ride solo 95-99% of the time, so I don't need a hydraulic preload adjuster.  While I do ride "somewhat aggressively", it's nowhere near how I rode my R1 and R6, so I'm not after a top tier racing...

I have (2) Two Brothers Power Tips for sale. These fit the M2 cans; possibly others (check with Two Brothers). These came with the set of Two Brothers pipes I recently got in trade. I don’t need them, so I thought someone here might since the Two Brothers pipes are very popular. Asking price is...

Hi guys, I am interested in getting a new shock for my 2008. My dilemma revolves around ordering the spring. I do ride two up, on a very rare occasion, about 2-4 times per year. (My wife is a VERY fair weather rider.) My question is this: Do I buy a shock sprung for two up and pay the...

Hi guys, I cant seem to find the site that sold suspension linkage kits to raise the rear of the FJR. The kit came with new dog bones and the link bracket (for lack of a better term) to raise the rear of the FJR. I see lots of kits to lower the rear, but none to raise the rear. I thought it...

OEM saddlebag liners: brand new, never used. $70 shipped CONUS via USPS Priority. Located in St. Louis for local pick up I'm happy to email pics. I'l be damned if I can't figure out posting pics here, lol!

I had some free time today, so I decided to change my oil. My dealer is closed, so I did a little Google-foo and it looks like the Mobil 1 M1-108 (& M1-110) filters will work. The 108 is the same size as the OEM one I had, ~2.5". (The 110 is about 3.25") I haven't used an aftermarket filter for...

I tried painting the inside of my shopped V-Stream screen the other day and the paint wouldn't stick at all. I thoroughly cleaned the screen with IPA and wiped it dry, so I know there was no grease, fingerprints, etc. left on the screen. Does V-Stream put some sort of coating on their screens...

Hi guys, I'm going to be looking for a good used car for one of my boys soon and would like to find some good resources. Obviously there's CL and local dealers, but can you guys point me in the direction of any other reputable resources to help with the used car search? I'm not opposed to...

I’m considering selling my FJR; 2008 with 16,000 miles on her. Great shape, well maintained, OEM saddlebags & top case, Givi SR357 rack, Garauld Stiffy kit, a few different windscreens. I just don’t have the time to ride as much as I’d like, plus I have other interests as well. I was thinking...

Hi guys, I have a 2008 that I've had for a couple years now. Runs great and I'm happy with it. With only 14,xxx miles on it, it's barely broken in. I called Yamaha and gave them the VIN to verify that the recalls were done. They confirmed and gave me the date and dealer that did them...

I'm a current Equifax customer, but their recent breach made me start to wonder if im better off using someone like Transunion or Lifelock. My wife has been using Transunion for years without issue, so I might switch to them. If you use any sort of credit/identity theft profltection service...

Taken from my 2008 when I switched to conventional grips. Works perfectly. May possibly be used to control other heated gear or non Yamaha heated grips. I can't post pics here, but if interested I'm more than happy to email pics to you. Just PM me your address and I'll send them your way. $50...

Without going into the details, we had to put our dog, Ellie, down today. She was a rescue my wife saved way back in 2006. She was a very skittish dog who lived in a pen the first 1.5 years of her life. My bride rescued her and gave a new life. She lived the rest of her days with our other dogs...
