    Electrical

    Love the FJR. Bought new 2007. Has had both recalls, high altitude, and ignition switch. 18,000 miles. Pulled into steak and shake last week in daytona, Biketoberfest, engine quits. Windshield stays up even with battery disconected. Both turn signal indicator lights and high beam light stays lit...

    2007 Bag Liners

    Mine came with my 2007. I dont find alot of use for them though. They seem to take up valuable space.

    new ecu and mileage

    I just returned from my first trip with my new ecu 2007 fjr. I noticed about a 4 mpg loss on the highway portion of my trip over the original ecu. The bike ran flawlessly. I'm guessing the new ecu richens the fuel to air mixture. Any other members getting poorer mpg after the new ecu installed...

    setting up body panels for maximum heat

    Phill, I got back from my trip, had a great time, rode in temps from 34 degrees to 56 degrees including rain. I tried panels in open and closed positions and the only difference I could feel was with the panels open, out, it deflected more wind off my legs. This felt warmer in the colder temps...

    2007 ecu installiation

    Just got my yamaha ecu replacement letter. I contacted my dealer for installation and was told it would take 5 hrs. Seems like a long time to unplug old unit and plug new unit in. Am I missing something? I will have to rent a trailer to cart bike as I don't want to sit at my dealer for 5 hrs...

    I went with the KAOKO CRUISE CONTROL, it's first class but pricey at $100. Installs with no modifications in 5 mins. It's available thru www.advworkshop.com.

    Pleased, but perplexed

    I thought I had a ticker, went to see the dealer, He told me to accelerate really hard through the gears and that would activate the cam chain tensioner. I did this and my ticking ceased. I posted this and was told my dealer was nuts, that the tensioner didn't work like that. I was told the...

    07 trunk

    When I first mounted it I did have it too far forward. I remounted it and still have the problem. I can use the scew driver in the Yamaha tool kit if need be. I find that I mostly just leave it mounted. Thanks for the info though.

    radar detector mounting

    What radar detector mounts work best and where to purchase? Does anyone just stick theirs to the inside of the wind screen with the supplied suction cups? Can you hear it beeping or do you need optional ear phones? Thanks.

    Tank Bra Options

    I installed a tank bra on my brand new cbr929rr to protect the tank paint. Removed it about 6 mos later to wax tank and found it had chaffed the paint. Tank bras are good for hiding existing paint damage but may actually damage good paint over time. You may want to research other tank protecting...

    cam chain tensioner

    I went to a breakdown of the cam chain and tensioner and could find no springs in the breakdown. The tensioner appears to be some sort of plunger that takes up the slack. I'm thinking that when grabbing a handfull of throttle the driving side of the chain tightens allowing what appears to be a...

    cam chain tensioner

    Can someone explain to me how the cam chain tensioner works on the 07 FJR? I was having a ticking noise between 2500-4000 rpms and was told by my dealer that the cam chain may be slack and to get hard on the throttle and that would tighten the cam chain. I did and the noise all but went away...

    07 trunk

    I got a large Givi look-a-like trunk from J.C. Whitney. It's a cheaply made wannabe but at $93.00 I thought I'd give it a try! It mounted easy enough on my 07 FJR and looks good. The only beef I have is with the quick release mechanism dosen't release without help from my screwdriver pushing in...

    auto cam chain tensioner

    I bought a new 07 fjr and after about 400 miles noticed a ticking noise between 2500-4000 rpms. Worried I had the dreaded valve tick that plagued the gen 1 models I contacted my local dealer with the concern and he said it may be the cam chain slack making the noise. I was told to get on the...
