To anyone going in for the recall. Make sure your dealer knows the tumbler is to be re keyed to your current per Yamaha. Show them the recall letter if you need to (it says it directly) . Had to go up the ladder again after my (former) dealer told me it wasn't "their problem" and to talk to...

Having dealt with local and corporate I can say that warranty issues are kicked up to Corp no matter what unless you band aid them (IE: deal on an extended). the dealer has no authority to change anything nor much (any) pull I have learned. You will spend MUCH more in legal fees if you involve a...

This is a heavy one, especially for a sport(tourer) bike. I dropped mine 1st week. Not my fault, but I feel your pain. I came over from a Honda 1800 VTX. That Damn bike was so top heavy I could barely turn it around and I'm a big guy. Nothing but engine on that one. Dropped it on the PARKING LOT...

I can't give my date 'cause Yamerhaw has the bike. Since I just bought it in June it MAY be a later build. I'll let you know the date if I ever get it back.

thanks for the info folks. I added '07's to it and asked the moderator to close this one, here is the Link for the new one.

I started the last poll but apparently left out a lot of options. Hopefully this will help You can pick MORE than 1. Thanks for voting, a lot of us want to know if this is a wide spread issue. Tired of the dealer BS. THANKS!! :D Terry

I see a lot of our new '08's have the off Idle blip problem. Let us see how many of us it really is affecting! Please vote. Thanks! thanks for the info folks. I added '07's to it and asked the moderator to close this one, here is the Link for the new one.

Why do we have to put up with this? This is a YAMAHA problem. IMHO.

Hi all, I have the exact issue clicky. Bike has 60 miles on it. 25 from and to the dealer. If you know already go a paragraph down. I was turning right onto a busy street from a stop. Hit the gas let out the clutch and 600 lbs of bike lands on me. 5 days old. Like you I also had stalls going...

Thanks for the feedback. I just happened to be about to turn right. In reality I can reproduce it in neutral, in first with clutch IN, on center stand, you name it. Just dies on throttle crack every 5 to 12 times you rev. Dealer found the same. I dropped it because I was trying to jet into a...

Hi folks, I had the idle problem listed in another thread. I raised it to 1100. without issue. it is NOT a low idle problem. It stalls at throttle open. Turn the throttle and it dies immediately. no rev. Dead. no rev just dead. happens at a stop on a start off. Huge problem if you assume...

Slight update. Yamaha corporate is involved as I won't take the dropped bike back. They are like talking to brick walls. BTW it took 3 days and they had to use the CO jumper mod just to get the bike to run and not die at throttle twist. I refuse to take back a 13k+ bike that can't run out of...

I do understand the low end torque difference, Not a big adjustment, had many bikes before. The bike DIES at the turn of the throttle, out of gear or in gear with clutch totally in. What a safety issue. again my service Manager (the dealership manager also) was able to duplicate it both in and...

Insert screw here! Found the idle screw, easy enough, warmed up , rode 5 minutes, adjusted to exactly 1100 RPM and seemed better. Took for a test spin, Still nice and warm. Went to take a right onto a VERY busy street and gave it throttle, leaned a bit right to anticipate letting the clutch...

Idle speed is a HAIR UNDER 1000 completely warm. About 900 at start. any suggestions ionbeam?

I'll clarify, I used the method on this page I'm linking to. https://www.fjr1300.info/breakin.html Yamaha's break in instructions are still followed by this method. Also Minuscule shavings in a brand new engine is usually normal, reading a lot of other posts. Really I am asking about the idle...

Hi all, just picked up my '08 1300A and I am having issues with idle. When I first start it it will stall right when you give it throttle. Also idle is rough and you can hear it burble and it is not smooth running. This is not under load or anything. It also does the same driving, stall right...
