[QUOTE="RiderJoe, post: 1440820, member: 93203"] I wanted to give an update on my bike's recalls' status (2006 FJR1300). Yamaha fixed two outstanding recall issues (California charcoal canister replacement, and the ground spider issue FJRF009). On the ground spider issue - Yamaha Customer Relations advised me NOT TO RIDE MY BIKE until the issue is fixed, but the part that fixes the issue is backordered without an expected availability date. After waiting for a month for the part to come in, I was able to get an OEM one from EBay, and the local Yamaha service department installed it. Yes, the part was at my expense, but at least I can ride my bike now instead of waiting for the sub harness to become available (for ? months). Yamaha declined to fix the altitude sickness issue (FJRF004) and the 17mpg readout issue (FJRF010), as the Tech Service Bulletins for those items' replacement period have "expired" - yup, Yammie's opinion is that after an arbitrary date (they set) those issues no longer exist (for them, or the owners of their products). As I mentioned in my earlier post I got a replacement ECU to resolve the altitude sickness issue from EBay, from a wrecked 2007 model. Replacement was straight forward. My bike had part number "21" and the 07's part was "23". The part came from Florida, but the CO settings matched my California model's O2 settings (5, 18, 18, 21, from cylinders 1-4 respectively). There is no noticeable difference in the bike's behavior from before and after the ECU swap, and I haven't had a chance to ride the bike to high elevations yet to confirm that the altitude sickness issue is gone. For what its worth, after all this, I am more confident about taking the bike out for longer rides without worrying about issues that have been reported and known to cause problems on the model year I own.
