While I haven't used the HiFlo for the Yamaha yet, it's only because I couldn't find a supplier for them when I last bought filters. I have used them extensively on a number of other brands, Suzuki, BMW, Ducati, etc. It's my understanding that they make a number of the OEM filters, including...

FWIW I store bikes in both Idaho over the winter and in Arizona over the summer months. In Idaho I fill the tank and ad 1oz/2 gal of Stabil -- the regular reddish stuff. In Arizona I double dose the fuel with regular Stabil. I store both carbed and FI bikes and have had no problems with...

I very much like the tank bras that Suzuki has for their V-Stroms and Bandits. If I could find one for the FJR GenII, I'd get it. I've found that cleaning really only involves lifting the leading edge of the bra and wiping with a soft cloth. I've not found any grit or dirt getting beyond...

I guess I'll add my 2 cents worth. I have an 07 bought with 7K on the clock. I first added the G2 throttle tube -- helped some but not enough, new ECU to correct altitude sampling rate --- no noticeable effect. Increased the idle speed to 1200 rpm -- helped some but still had abrupt...

FWIW I just ordered from Apache Motorcycles in Scottsdale for $45.77 each with only $9 shipping. Total of $100.54.

65 years --- next year will be my 50th anniversary of riding motorcycles --- and, if I buy another, it will also be my 50th lifetime motorcycle. I bought an 07 last November to replace my 1997 R1100RT.

I experienced the same thing with my first 2610. I eventually sent it back for another refurbished one. Later I discovered that the 12v contact on the "shoe" that slides into the back of the GPS was compressed and breaking contact. There was nothing wrong with the GPS itself. I carefully...

Thanks Barry, A friend just installed a Motorcycle Cruise Control from Australia that costs about 2 1/2 times what the Rostra does and its minimum is listed as 48 mph. I use my car's cc when going through small towns so I can look around more and not be concerned about exceeding the speed...

What is the minimum effective speed that the Rostra cruise control will hold?

Riding solo with a Givi V46 and a VStream windshield I get a noticeable weave at anything above 60 mph. I'm in agreement with others that have surmised that the windshield has a large impact on the airflow around the rider. Adding a passenger eliminates the weaving. I've noticed the same...

Thanks for the additional information and pictures, Roy! To add to what you've already posted, I have a VStream which measures 22 3/4" at the top, 22 1/4" at the bottom and it's 22 1/2" high from the point of the "W". I'm 74" tall with a 32" inseam. I've added spacers to tilt the VStream...

"you spend more time leaned over making left turns than rights" That's because roads, especially two lane, are crowned for water drainage. Since I live in the country with a lot of two lane chip sealed roads, my front tires will be bald on the left side and still have tread in the center and...

I believe that there may be a difference between the Gen I and Gen II saddlebags. I bought some Gen I bags from a fellow FJR Forum member and found that they seem to be a bit larger than the interior of the Gen II saddlebag. I know that the Gen II saddlebags are mounted closer to the bike...

Out of curiosity, what is available via the diagnostic mode on the GENII bikes. I know that there's the CO adjustment, but what else can be viewed/changed? Is there a table somewhere that will show the standard values for the items that can be viewed/changed?

I bumped my 07 up by +7. I've been averaging about 41 mpg before the change. I'll report back after I've put a few more tanks of fuel through.

I wonder what the effect of the increased CO has on fuel mileage. Anyone done a comparison?

I currently have a Russell seat on a 97 BMW R1100RT and have just ordered one for my 07 FJR (bought to replace the BMW). I've been using the original Day-Long and Russell seats since 1978 and would obviously recommend them for a touring bike. I also have a Bill Mayer seat on a Suzuki DRZ400S...

I just placed my order last week with a production date of June 2. That means it will probably get to me around the middle of June. This will be my 5th Mayer/Russell Day-Long seat. The first was in 1978. After riding my "new to me" 07 FJR 350 miles today, I'm looking forward to the...

Well, I just got back from a 350 mile ride today (including the Rose City 250). The clutch slipped several times while passing. Rolling off the throttle slightly was enough to allow the clutch to hook up again. So, it's back to the 0.145 spacer. The GEN I + GENII 08 -10 clutch slave...

Here's an update on the addition of a spacer on my FJR GenII with a GEN I clutch slave cyl. I first reported using a spacer of 0.20 inches in length with one end counter drilled (CD) to center the clutch rod. I noticed a bit of slippage --- like the engagement point changed from starting out...
