    I'm looking for a diagram showing the "rider triangle" or "motorcycle triangle" for the FJR.

    You can change the position on the Handlebars closer to you on the FJR. It's not a large adjustment but it made the difference for me. You can also fit 1" risers without lengthening the cables etc...

    E15 / Unleaded 88 in 2008 FJR1300

    The "E" rating is the maximum amount of ethanol permitted in the fuel. In independent tests, it has been proved to be quite a lot lower than the "E" amount. It is easy to test it for yourself (lots of videos on YouTube). Depending on the year of your vehicle will depend on whether the rubber or...

    Considering a 2016 FJR, but concerned about tranny recall.

    The recall is free. It's paid for by Yamaha. Not having the recall done is something which may come back to haunt you and, may negatively affect the price when you come to sell her.

    New suspension settings

    Dave Moss has a video where he does the suspension for an FJR. It's an old one but still relevant.

    Considering a 2016 FJR, but concerned about tranny recall.

    The Michelin PR and Road series tyres on the latest Gen FJR does make the steering a bit heavy at low speed in my opinion. But the grip in all weathers is outstanding - I'd even go as far as to say legendary. The FJ/FJR Owners Club workshop in the UK tend to use Pirelli Angel GT A or Metzeler...

    Linch pin sidecase mod - really necessary?

    Only just the other day someone posted on another site about one of his Panniers becoming detached and self destructing on the road. Luckily this hasn't happened to me. Even so I decided to do something about it. With that in mind I decided to pin my panniers. It turned out to be a very easy...

    Flat Blue Paint - How is it holding up?

    Extremely little. About an eighth of a bottle! One bottle will probably last me 20 years!! The bottles are sized for cars not bikes so hold more than you'll need for a motorcycle. I think one bottle will do a medium sized car probably twice and a large car or minivan once. It makes cleaning...

    Flat Blue Paint - How is it holding up?

    Erratum: I used Dr Beasleys Matte Paint Coating NOT the Chemical Guys. Link below to Amazon It makes the blue a very slightly "richer" blue but it's hardly noticeable. It's been on 2.5 years and it doesn't need a reapplication yet. It's very simple to apply BUT the paint needs to be perfectly...

    Flat Blue Paint - How is it holding up?

    I love it on my 2019. I used a special Matte Ceramic Coating from the Chemical Guys (Erratum: I used Dr Beasleys Matte Paint Coating NOT the Chemical Guys.) and it's protected the paintwork beautifully. I also used the gloss ceramic coating on the gloss black parts. No wax needed just wash, dry...
