    Which OBD-II Device Do I Want?

    I have the same problem. Got an OBD adapter and the cheapest Harbor Freight code reader. Worked like a champ. Took all of three minutes. Should I want more capabilities than a read, display, clear unit, I'll have to look into fancier stuff.

    What's the Weather like where YOU are today?

    Sunny, clear skies, light wind and eighty degrees. That's eight words to say one: lovely. (The eighty degree part is a few hours off, I admit!)

    All the miles out of this tire

    WOW! Interesting wear pattern. Is that from tire balance or construction or some such?

    dropped my new fjr!

    About a week into owning my beloved beastie, I lost control of it getting off it (zero forward motion) and it very slowly leaned to the right as I pulled like mad to get it keep it upright. Best I could do was a guided lay down with as gentle a landing as possible. Still not sure how I managed...

    "I want you to enjoy your bike."

    This makes my heart ache. I know all too well what you're going through. I'd only suggest to gather what help and solace you can from family and friends (and for me, a ride of any sort), hold tight to and enjoy good memories. It has helped me move forward when those I cherish could not...

    "I want you to enjoy your bike."

    I can completely and deeply empathize with you right now. I can hear my wife say "I want you to enjoy your bike" should we find ourselves in a similar situation. Having seen the speed of pancreatic cancer in a sibling, I know time takes on a very different meaning on a spread spectrum of...

    Winter NW BBQ Get Together Portland Area

    I'm never too sure about my work schedule, but I voted for 2/11. Though any of the other dates are not really problematic. (Generally) I'm interested to try this place. I like a good BBQ.

    What's the Weather like where YOU are today?

    78F, partly cloudy, light wind. Trees just starting to turn, kids & touristas gone. Local roadwork mostly completed. Pretty much about as good as it'll get. I'm outta here to somewhere else

    Possible ride idea

    Would love to join in, but I can't Sunday. I'm fortunate because the weather is lovely for the two days I'm here (today and tomorrow) and I'm already on the LB peninsula. Time for another cuppa, suit up and go play!

    2016 FJR1300A Check Engine Light On

    This has been a great thread! A lot of good info. Since my cel was cleared 2K miles ago, I've had no return of the cel. I pay attention to the key and it's position and haven't triggered the sidestand safety function. No other worries with my FJR. Been riding as much as possible.

    Yamaha Customer Service Contact ?

    Hope I don't need this info. Took a month for Yamaha to supply my dealer with software to fix my bike. Want to be ready to squawk if needed.

    2016 FJR1300A Check Engine Light On

    I was told when they cleared my cel that it was two separate fault triggers involved. One was the sidestand safety (indicating an extended sidestand while in gear, engine running) and the other was an engine stall fault. I did trigger the sidestand once just after picking up the bike. The...

    2016 FJR1300A Check Engine Light On

    My dealer finally got whatever it was they needed to read and clear my cel. Took them a long time to get whatever it was. They were probably quite tired of seeing me and calling. Mama Yamaha needs to pony up some cash for this dealer's labor costs.

    Pulled the Trigger on a 2016 ES

    Post up if you get the cel to come on in the 1500 ish mile mark. Mine did. Got resolved, but was still a pain for a new top of the line bike. Somewhat bad Yamaha, Inc.!

    Check engine light on my new 2016 ES

    Is the dealer that did the reset ProCaliber Bend?

    2016 FJR1300A Check Engine Light On

    I haven't got that many miles since my cel came on. Supposed to be fixed this Friday. We'll see. Oddly, it also locked out my preload adjustment option. The screen simply never appears. Bike runs great. Glad I didn't leave it with them for the last three weeks. Edit: Just saw, read and...
