[QUOTE="Rocnsanman, post: 1451904, member: 92637"] Steve and Torch nailed it. I used to work for a Yamaha dealer in Colorado. The reason this dealer adhered to the 10 year limit was that OEM parts are not always available and an aftermarket part cannot be guaranteed by the shop. If they allowed a customer to supply the parts then the bike, snowmobile, whatever would become pushed in and out daily thereby using up space and resources. And as some have correctly suggested , the labor can quickly exceed the value of an older bike and the shop is stuck with the bike until the owner decides to take action one way or another. The service department of most all dealships supports the dealership. Find a good independent shop or do the work yourself. This forum is a great place to gain knowledge and most repairs on the FJR are pretty easy. Of all the bikes I've ever owned and there have been many, my FJR has been the most trouble free and the most fun to ride. Ride on! [/QUOTE]
