Well, now we have a darn good idea of just how many 2013 FJRs were manufactured.

Yup - the factory manual is a traditional glue-bound paper book with a white paper cover - I have not often seen real copies on eBay - and they have never been new. If yours is plastic pin-bound or has a photo of any sort it is guaranteed to be a clone.

The OP could be from Europe (or somewhere else) and the model designation for him if he has an autoshift version could well have been 'AS' . . . . . Strangely, in the online parts catalog Yamaha Canada has my ES defined as an ESE, but needs to be selected an AE . . . . the AE is selected as an...

Sell your bike privately and then just buy it from D&H . . . .and get the YES for $390 when you buy (screw the stupid Florida 'we get to rip you off on extended warranties' law).

It doesn't seem to include motorcycles . . .

It was simply intended as clarification, rather than criticism . . . I am sensitised to these issues on several levels, not the least of which was the dealer I normally use, who is a master of being able to convince you that he is doing you a favour by taking your money . . . . I bought a...

That 'invoice price' is truly misleading. If a dealer REALLY made $13 profit on a $15K sale he'd be out of business in a week . . . . there are rebates and holdbacks and incentives and more that he doesn't show you that impact the real cost.

Quote from their web site listing - certainly not a the price on which you pay taxes . . . . *Price, if shown, does not include government fees, taxes, dealer freight/preparation, dealer document preparation charges or any finance charges (if applicable). Final actual sales price will vary...

Factory charge plug? Got a picture of it? In my case the dealer put it in, but it isn't a factory item. Seat settings? I don't find it presses me forward - didn't on the last one either, then they changed almost nothing aft of the triple T. Battery access fiasco? Has something changed? I...

Kaelaria; Had I been in your position I would have ordered from D&H and ridden to Alabama to get the machine - and I'd have bought the YES at the same time. Dealers (and the state government) in Florida would seem to believe that the locals are gullible and have deep pockets.

Your S/N is not in the US sequence . . . . . it is the 179th Canadian bike . . . .

Could be as simple as an incompletely plugged in connector. Let the dealer handle it.

The headlight reflector and switchgear is market specific, as is the emissions control package. Don't buy a bike originally destined for France.

I've ridden several model years and I own an '06. I never had any problems with the throttle. The differences between the '06 and '08: The throttle cam was redesigned - it is more progressive on the '08 - it was further refined on the '09 and the '09 also got a new clutch slave cylinder. The...

Yamaha addressed some of the problems in the 2006-2009 models by their recall - but we see periodic lighting failures reported here and elsewhere because they company only fixed the most common issue - over time I would expect that earlier Gen-II machine owners will report an increasing number...

+1. Note that if the other insurance tries to lowball you simply refuse the settlement and tell them to find you a machine in the same condition as yours was (pristine, no doubt) and with similar mileage . . . that'll get them down to earth quickly - don't ask how I know. Remember to claim all...

So, you let your excitment get the better of you and caved.

When my Gen-II spins 4000 RPM she is rolling at 118 kph according to the GPS with the present BT-023 tires, worn to whatever they are and with the tire pressure set to 42 psi cold (it does affect circumference) - that's 73.13 mph - that would be 4375 rpm for 80 mph. Note that the tach is not a...

Loks like the same mirrors, but the fairing is moulded around the base . . . . .

Perhaps we've all just assumed that the comment about 5th being overdrive was new? Maybe that was what happened in 2006 when they dropped the overall gear train by a few percentage point - and the revision they're referring has to do with comments I've seen about new gear machining and a change...
