No trunk. More color contrast

I had recently unplugged the windshield auto retract. On the 2010 it doesn;t look like a simple jumper like on previous models. Anyway I noticed my problems started after unplugging it. I plugging it back in and no more problems. I don't understand. If that was the cause why would it be...

I replaced the relays under the seat as a precaution. I'm going on my annual road trip in a week hoping it doesn't act up on the road. If it does it may find itself being traded in before getting back home. The problem with intermittent electrical problems is they are harder to track down.

Yes I looked when installing the new switch. Everything is ok but I applied dielectric grease anyway

I installed a new ignition switch and it did it again afterwards. No led dash display, the fuel pump did not come on. several times on and off with the ignition switch and everything came back on

It did it again but this time ijiggled the ignition key and it ran ok. Poor connections in the switch? I ride in all kinds of weather. Maybe its connections are corroded?

Please keep the ideas coming and thanks for your help!! When I am able I will do some hunting based on your ideas and report back to you. One other thought that is heat related and would not likely give a code is a bad ignition coil but I wouldn't think its old enough nor high mileage enough (55k)

It will. Its codes 15 and 16

Yes as mentioned I have checked the spider connections and all are good. The battery connections are ok too. I don't have a power commander. I will check the regular connector next to S6 along with the pc connection. . I'm not sure how to go about checking the ignition switch but it seems if...

A few times after driving about 20 minutes the engine began cutting out. Some times it seemed it was going to die. Reving the engine in neutral it ran ruff but not as bad. I installed new spark plugs and it ran fine for several weeks. Then some time after the dash would not come on but the...

The first thing that came to mind is Yamaha is increasing thier bottom line.

I recently learned Yamaha has now gone to a smaller oil filter for the Fjr. Anyone know why?

Just got back and I indeed used the trunk. Although my essentials fit in the saddlebags I used the trunk for some microfiber cloths and cleaner, bag of GoPro accessories, bungiees and so on. By the way the trip was great! I went from LaPorte, Tx to South Dakota and toured Custer state park...

I will bring it. Thanks for your input!

Thanks for your input! The only reason I considered not bringing it was the bulk but as has been said, its usefulness outweighs all else so I will bring it. This trip will be about 18 days from Houston to Sturgis (B4 the rally) then on to Alberta Canada. I usually carry 2 jeans/short sleeve...

I have gone on several long distance rides, the last being 5,300. Im going on another tomorrow. I usually pack fairly light and I can fit enough for 2 weeks on the road in the saddle bags but I usually put my trunk on so I will have a place to put my helmet, GoPro and gloves when I stop and any...

I went thru that area on my ride from Houston. Beautiful country!

I stopped by the Grand Canyon on my way to the west coast from Texas. Mere pictures cain't describe the magnitude of the world largest ditch!

The mount bracket is the one physically attached to the underside of the tank on the front. Never heard of Extend, I will try it next time I have the tank off for service. Before I put it back on I taped off and coated the bracket with Eastwood Rust Encapsulator. I have had good luck with it in...
