[QUOTE="Hogspanker, post: 880366, member: 18286"] So, Yamaha sends a notice stating the bike is defective and not safe to ride - right in the middle of riding season. (Is the statement to "not ride" intended to protect them or us?) The dealer does not have the parts to fix it - they'll call when they do (yea right, the check's in the mail). That may fix it or it may not. If not, kiss your bike goodbye for an undetermined period of time and put your trust in your local wrench to get your FJR in a dependable condition. Customer loyalty, anyone? I'm just thankful I have two lovely BMWs in my garage. Maybe it's time to stick with the Germans - especially since they are building mouth-watering kick-ass rides these days. I do strictly long-haul rides. I can't afford to leave home on a bike that may not get me there and back. It will take a while for me to regain enough confidence in the Yamaha to leave town on it. I'm seriously considering putting the FJR up for sale: 2007; 20K miles; perfect condition - except for the defective ground joint connector and perhaps the wire harness. [/QUOTE]
