Just want to announce the arrival of my FIFTH FJR! This one a leftover 2023 that had a very nice markdown at Roseville Yamaha (yeah, Roseville Motorsports now, but it's still Yamaha to me). I was having some grief from the low-milage 2009 I bought last year and wanted to be able to depend on...

There are old threads with a lot about how dangerous those cramp busters can be. Unwelcome sudden surges of power can f*uck. you. up.

Funny. I got an alert that somebody had quoted me and found this. When I read what I'd posted, I was thinking WTF before I realized how old the thread was. Which I realized when I thought about how many times I've dropped how many FJRs in the last 15 years! But I don't post about it anymore.

Thanks, Matt. Probably just me.

I did look on the model comparison matrix and I can't really tell from that which other years my custom seat (that works with my 2014) will fit. Seems like it would fit on ANY newer FJR, but I'd like to be sure. Thanks.

No. He's actually dead.

And the donor rides along on the back seat? For a personal donation? .

45K is not bad at all, and neither is $4K, especially if you can work it down a little. Most comparisons seem to find the FJR a bit more sporty, the ST a little more of a tourer, but I'm guessing it's pretty close. If you can get a screaming deal on an ST with the same setup, then you'd want...

Christie Brinkley might not be young, but she's young enough! To the OP--park the car outside.

:LOL:

A good solution.   https://www.speedwayshelters.com/  (You want the "touring" size.  I love mine.)

Some of us LIKE ass.

Sure they’re waving?

I named my dogs.  And my kids, for that matter.  No imagination.

So your seat is a bit lower, easier to touch down.  Any other reasons to do this?  Like more storage room, easier to unlock or click seat back into place, like that?

Trouble with living in upstate NY, those long winters (I grew up in Syracuse-and by the way, how 'bout those Orangemen?  At least so far.) Anyway, I had the same problem with that ridge in the fairing rubbing uncomfortably against my lower leg when I used the highway pegs, so I got a set of...

Sounds like a nice find.  Mind sharing the price?

You almost live in freaking CANADA.  So when the AZ and TX guys tell you it's not so bad, believe it.  Ditto this CA guy, and I had two '05's (also a Gen I).  A heat blanket under the tank helps, and you can get wind deflectors (Baker Air Wings is one) that can direct air onto or away from your...

Or how to convert F to C.

Sounds like at the worst you could find a slow leak--doesn't sound like the structural integrity of the tire is compromised (I used big words to sound like I know what I'm talking about).  But I've used SS on a pretty new tire and rode it till it was bald, and on an old tire that was already...
