[QUOTE="jammess, post: 1341894, member: 89387"] The more I read about the gen3 FJR the more I appreciate my new gen2. As in can't easily look at diagnostics, can't tweak the CO settings, can't adjust throttle linkage, can't adjust idle speed...and then there is the redesigned tupperware which imo is not as easy to install/remove at all. I can't honestly see why anyone anywhere really needs 6 gears. The cruise control is nice but after doing the throttle return spring unwind it is way easy to just rest your hand on the throttle and maintain your speed. Also, the FJR is happy cruising along at just about any RPM in 5th gear. I guess if you're the manufacturer you need to continuously come up with some new whistle or bell to sell new models. Never mind the new whistle/bell is not in reality anything to die for let alone shell out bucks for. I have a 2011 Mustang GT with the historic solid axle rear end and Ford comes up with independent just gotta have it rear suspension. Yeah right! Maybe Bill can get lucky and get his original TB assembly back if Yamaha doesn't want it and re-install and swap the TPS and get his smooth running machine back. The TPS is just a variable resistor so it should be easy to swap the TPS. Sorry in advance for drifting a bit off topic. [/QUOTE]
