BMW 2014 GSA final drive failure today,. How disappointing for the rider. Question - Has any FJR had final drive issue during an IBR?

Thank for the reply, Happy Jack. What is the flat surface behind the pillion?

Hello, Looking at 2016 and 2018. Wondering how the flat blue on 2018 FJR is holding up for you. Does it get "sort of" shiny where your hands and clothing rub? Does it have issues with water spots after washing? What happens if you wax the bike? You get the idea. Thanks in advance for replying. -DL

On the other forum, a user posted a picture of his Canadian recall notice dated "November 2021". I can't read the recall number. But it is a re-flash of the ECU. The letter says: "However, this rev-limiter programming may be overly restrictive, possibly preventing the acceleration performance...

You missed it in the original post. The recall number is reported to be M2021-010R.

Over on the FJR Owners, someone is posting about a new FJR recall. Anyone have details on this? M2021-010R

A thought. If the dealer does not have the parts, the bike probably has not been disassembled. Why not just go pick it up? Ride the rest of the season and have the tranny done over the winter.

Well.. If you asked my wife it would be "that damned motorcycle".

Somebody here probablly knows. You would think that with all the FJR people on this forum, FJROwners and IBR, SOMEBODY would be a Yamaha employee or have an inside track into what Yamaha will do in 2022. The decision for the 2022 model year had to have been made a long time ago for sub...

Didn't BMW achieve the emission requirements by going to variable valve timing in the R1250 series by using the existing engine and modifying the heads?  Couldn't Yamaha do the same?

A long long time ago, when I was into small block chevy engines, there was a never ending debate about breaking in an engine. Some said run it full out, others said take it easy for a few hundred miles. What seem to make the most sense to me was to run it with light loads and after an hour or...

I did a quick Google, no web site, but found another dealer in Cully whose site mentions D&H as having been renamed. The new named D&H looks like it is a Kawasaki dealer, but I did not see that they were a Yamaha dealer.

RideNow Powersports seems to be the big dog in So Cal, NV and AZ. anyone have info on what kind discount I might expect on a 2020 or 2021 FJR? Thanks for your help. -DL

A little snippy, Ignacio. Some dealers are not doing well. The Yamaha dealer I bought my last FJR from has gone out of business. When a small business is squeezed, short cuts are found.

Thanks everyone, I know that all motorcycle dealers a completely honest and would never report a recall as having been completed if it was not (NOT!).  A dealer might be tempted to take the cash from Yamaha for the repair on a bike sitting on the showroom floor, but not actually do the work...

These questions may have been answered, but I didn't see it. If I buy a used or new old stock FJR, how can I be sure the recall has actually been performed? If I buy a used FJR from the dealer, is the tranny warrantied for some longer period of time? thanks for the info. -DL

Yamaha reportedly patented a composite frame member. The submitted drawing looks like the cast FJR frame and the line drawing looks like an FJR. So what will Yamaha do in 2022?  a) Delete the FJR and exit sport touring, conceding to BMW.  OR b) start fresh with an all new design, incurring...

I am in process for getting spousal permission for a new FJR. Local dealer won't deal. Can anyone share pricing info on new 2019, 2020 FJR ES?  Name of a dealer that really wants to make a sale? Thank you for your help.

Nice post and pics. Question about the wear on your front tire. From the photo you posted it looks like the wear on one side of the tire is considerably different from the other side. Maybe its just the angle on the photo. Of course, you could have been riding in the same direction in a circle...
