    Purchasing new '23 questions

    I have an 06 FJR with 112k on it and am looking at upgrading to a new '23. When I purchased the 06 the bike came with the inner bag liners and an extra lock for the top bag if I were to ever add it. Do the new bikes come with these accesories? I ask, because my local dealer, whom hasn't had in...

    2006 100K FJR here!

    Actually, at 110K now. Bought new in Sept 06. Has Audiovox CC w/ skyway mount, Cee Baileys, keyed fuse block to run additional electricals for heated gear, GPS, radar, etc. Spend a lot of time in the Texas Hill Country and ride NW AR at least once a year. This bike has carried me, and...

    Oil filter thread..... er part numbers, not which is best.

    Don't pull the trigger on me yet! :) No, this is not another 'which oil / filter is best' topic I promise. The last two times I've bought a filter for my 06 FJR from the local Yammie dealer I get a different part number and a smaller filter with the story that the old one has been replaced...

    Go Pro Camera

    In case you don't know what a Go Pro is,you can go here and check it out. I really like these things and think it would come in handy for some great shots on an upcomging 12 day CO, AZ, UT ride we're doing. I was wondering if anyone here has experience with them and how to mount them on the...

    Brake Pads?

    With 65k on my 06 and an upcoming two up 12 day CO, UT, AZ ride, I thought I'd replace the brake pads on my FJR. I priced the Yammies, and OUCH! A bit pricey even with my local dealer discount. The EBC were quite a bit cheaper, and I trust EBC to make a good pad. Just, it is the one for the FJR...

    WANTED: Factory bag liners for '06 and up

    What I really need is to replace the left side soft bag liner as it's gotten a tear in one of the seams at the bottom. But will take a set of two (right and left) if you don't want to part the pair out. Please reply here or send a PM through the board. Would also consider the Yamaha factory top...

    On the drive home from work tonight, excellerating away from a stop, just into third gear, and the bike shuts off. Just like I turned the ignition switch off. Coasted into a parking lot, pulled the cover off the battery, checked every fuse including the main fuse... the fuse to my fusable link...

    Weekend Hill Country Riding

    Finally got out with some friends for some weekend riding in the Texas Hill Country. We've had twice the average rainfall of Seattle so far this year and it's taken a toll on the usual amount of weekend riding we get to do. On the other hand, when we have ventured out it's been fairly cool and...

    Guardian Angels?

    At some point in life, especially riding motorcycles, we have a bit of blind luck. But is it blind luck? Or Guardian Angels? I guess I could tell several tales that should of turned out bad, but didn't because of blind luck throughout my life. Or are there Guardian Angels? I've been lucky in my...

    Garmin question

    Sorry if this is in the wrong forum. Got a question about waypoints on the Quest. I hate Mapsource software! :angry2: Anyone know an easy way to delete waypoints off the Quest without doing them one at a time? I'd like to delete all of them at once. I've relaoded maps and that doesn't do it.

    Escort 8500 use as a Digital Volt Meter

    After 20 years I decided to replace my well worn, but functioning perfectly, Escort radar detector. It worked well for my area as most Departments around here are still using X or K with many using Ka. Very little laser here in the SA area. But outside of town on the road it started to lack...

    Audiovox CC comments and a question

    Recently installed the AV CC on my 06 with the help of a very qualified mechanic buddy. I'd like to thank Smitty for his phone number to call and ask a couple of questions. As everyone has stated, very stand up guy. After doing the install, and taking practically apart to fix a water leak at the...

    There's the 24 thread.... so how about Jericho? Anyone watch it? Saw what looked to be an 06 FJR twice. Parked on the side of the street in downtown Jericho.

    Rear shock

    Picked up an 06 in Sept. I've got a little over 4100 on it. At first the bike, for a big bike, felt like it was on rails going into and through the corners. Somewhere around 2500 miles I noticed the bike wallowing more in corners. At first I thought it due to the roads, or just the weight of the...

    Power Distribution Block

    I'm sure for some of you this will be a dumb a** question. I'm not a bad mechanic and do most maintenance on my bike. However, I hate electrical stuff. Really hate it. I'm attempting to install a power distribution block on my 06 FJR in order to make wiring up the assorted electrical gizmos to...
