Judd, I am happy for you that your FJR is back in running condition. BUT........... If your 'ace' mechanic in fact

In Chapter 3 under Periodic Checks And Maintenance / Air Filter Case, page 3-8: 8 Nm or 5.8 ft-lbs. The sub-frame torques you show are the same as I found.

(light-hearted jab coming youur way) Jeez, man! Did ya even try the SEARCH tool? :glare: (I'm trying to earn some Iggy points) "+maps +pc3" netted the following result. All seriousness aside, maybe it's so smooth everywhere else that it's(vibey stuff) just more noticable now.

Andrew I used a simple little off-on switch I had left over from some other project. It's been a couple of years since I did it, but if I recall correctly I just tapped into the fan relay wiring to provide a 'ground' to the relay. One side is 'hot' with key on. Automatic fan operation is...

I put a manual fan switch on my '05. My (possibly twisted) logic was that I figured I would be a lot less uncomfortable being bathed in the heat from a 2-3 bar engine than waiting until the factory-imposed 4 bar heat. Plus I feel it's a little easier on the engine to not run so hot - (I know...

Hey rmc Best guess.... ...being that the shop manual shows it to be the relay in front of (behind?) the speedo and farthest one to the right (closest to battery)... ...and spotting it on the Yamaha online parts catalog... ...under 'electrical 2'... TaDa!..............#31 5DM-81950-00-00...

What 'case breather' are you talking about? The 'crankcase breather' is effected by a hose connected from a spigot on the engine to a spigot on the air cleaner housing. The only way it would leak is if the hose became disconnected or cracked/damaged. Besides, there should be no oil flowing...

Yeah, I removed mine the first time I had the lower fairing panels off a year and half and 25000 km ago. It seemed like overkill to me and as you have seen it's a PITA to do with the fairing in place. I did drill a small hole in the lid and attached a safety wire - just in case the engine should...

I have a 2005 and this is how I do mine: The proper way to set both compression and rebound is to grab your knob :o and turn it all the way CLOCKWISE until it stops - don't force it. Compression setting is a flat blade screw adjust. Then turn the adjuster COUNTER-CLOCKWISE to your desired...

I weighed mine with a heavy duty person scale. I raised the opposite end to match the height of the scale and with ~1/3 tank of fuel, no hard bags. Front weight: 302 lb / 137 kg Rear weight: 284 lb / 129 kg Total weight: 586 lb / 266 kg Accuracy not guaranteed, YMMV :)

I have an '05 and did not do the jumper mod. I went the Power Commander route. For those that have done the Barbarian mod I'm happy it worked for you. Something I did not like about the write-up was that the ECU has the male half of the connection and the wiring harness connector has the...

Warchild, I remember seeing some pics of two v-e-r-y clean Yamahas of yours. Like the R1 and the FJR. Who you callin' gay? :tease: :confused: Len

Re: What's wrong with this picture? 1. You have no handlebar. 2. The bra on the tank is not the same type as the one(s) on the saddlebags. 3. I agree. How the hell did you have enough time to wrench on your bike? 4. What is your torque wrench caibrated in? Foot-tons? Man, that is a b-a-d...

MIFJR, Don't EVER post another pic of your poor motorcylce again in such filthy condition. :D You are lucky the Admin let it go this time :) Is water rationed in Michigan? Do you not bathe yourself? :dribble: That tire doesn't look too bad in the pic. Truth be told it is the only thing...

Getting back on topic... I think Warchild was on the right path. If the caliper (and seals) are all bunged up it could be sticking and constantly applying the brakes. This would heat things up pretty badly, boiling the brake fluid, and cause the excessive pumping of the brake lever to restore...

moby one The reflectors are not too hard to remove. First go around the back of the reflector and you will see a nut (10mm, I think it was) in the centre of it. Remove this and it will make things a whole lot easier. Make sure you have a 6-point 12mm socket and hold it square to those hollow...

RUBBERMAN I now have a little over 6000 km on mine and I hear nothing out of the ordinary, and that's without ear plugs. I only hear the burble of the exhaust and some very faint sounds from the engine, could be valves, injectors, or ??. I have even removed the rubber thingys (technical jargon)...

I have been using one since my FJR had about 500 km on her. Since the bike was new and still breaking in I did not take any fuel mileage readings so I don't have a baseline. It had quite a bad surge at low rpm/light throttle before the PCIII. For the last many thousands of km I consistently get...

Is he an acquaintance of Michael Jackson? :huh: Please keep the weirdness to a low level. Yuk, I'm going for a shower now.

FJRocha You did the right thing. It is more important to get them even than to spec. Is your idle speed at the proper rpm? That can affect things. Are you using the proper weight and type of oil? :P Just kidding, I love the oil threads. ;) Len
