Makes great sense LoneWolf, and avoids my having to fashion "centering" cones.

Thanks much for the reply. I looked in 06 Bin o facts, but could not find a mention...did not try the earlier. The bar stock I have available is .75", so was afraid it might be too big. I kind of slowly construct things, and did not want to pull out the axles till I had too.

Anyone happen to know the front and rear axle diameters, or have wheels off at present to quickly measure? I am trying to build a tire mount and balance set-up, and won't learn this for myself until I get the wheels off, which is too late (from a motorcycle down-time perspective). Thanks

Have not received yet, so can't comment on date code, but just ordered a set of D220's from www.bobscycle.com for $155. Put them in the cart and enter DUN220 in coupon code area to get $149.95 w/ free shipping. They got me on sales tax for some reason (Minn to Swissconsin). Limited to...

Just has the ignition recall, instrument (instant mpg) recall, and was supposed to have the ecu change. Dealer called to say all was good, come pick it up. No ECU done, told that "Yamaha is not doing them anymore"....did not know the reason, but you just need to "shut it off, once in...

Hi DC. Do the wires just feed through a copper grommet and then get soldered? I guess this is typical, but always heard that solder should not be the primary 'mechanical" interface. A couple of things that caught my eye in several of the related posts. There are some pics of assemblies...

Hi Chris. A group of us came through Wildcat on Saturday and stopped in Ontario. The guys I was with (on K-BMWs and an Aprilia Futura) are from the Madison and the Richland Center area. I am from Hartland (near Milwaukee) and have an 06A. However, saw no burgundy FJR, just a couple of...

Sorry to hear it, does not sound like there was much you could do. I got rear-ended last year by a young girl on a cell phone. She was at fault, but at least very sorry, unlike the peckerhead that hit you. I do not know what advice to give you. My new FJR has a 'WigWam" tail light modulator...

You get your canal phones buried deep in your ears, and as you put your helmet on, they back out. Very frustrating. I ended up cutting a sheet of very thin teflon (like you find in a grocery store...the semi disposal cutting board type stuff). The strip is 4" wide and about 2' long...

Hi Phil. I do not own a top case, but just received a recall notice on the mounting plate. Is yours fractured? Looks like they have a more robust one available.

Hi Beal. I have one that is scuffed a bit, but would look better than none at all. If you have a long wait for a new one, this could work for you.

I have ordered a WestCo through SportBikeEffects, but expect it will be a few days for delivery. The local Yamaha dealer said the Yuasa YT14B-4 retail is now listed at $220 and he is discounting to $180....although none are in stock. Noticed their bad battery pile had what I thought was an...

Hi Glenn. What you want for all these assessories is a power source that does not stay on when the ignition is off..since things like heated grips will quickly eat the battery. The wire I grabbed from the light was just one of the running lights. It is on with the ignition, and it...

My 06 just left me stranded after filling up today. Hot day, started perfect this morning. Classic dead battery symptoms in that you could hear the solenoid kick in and then the voltage would crash resetting the display and dropping the solenoid back out. Rolled it in 5th and started right...

Hi 27. I was adding other features (power outlet, etc) and wanted to have a dedicated auxillary power relay to power all the stuff. I never hunted for an existing switched circuit that could supply the several amps required for the heated grips. Have seen some links where people have...

Hello. I installed the G2 Egonomics tube and some new Sunline Grand Touring grips. So of course the melting throttle tube problem is eliminated. A few observations: Get your stuff from SportBikeEffects. Jeff's customer service is unmatched, and his discount for FJR owners a real bonus...

Thanks LoTech. I had not run into this with previous under grip elements but I guess I was lucky. Since I have not been able to tame the twitchy throttle, went ahead and ordered the Ergo tube. I insulated the left bar before applying the element, so expect I should do the same with an...

I went, great weather so bikes were out en masse. Did see several other FJRs, and plenty of other remarkable bikes. A few people noted that the HDs were there earlier than ususal, occupying space and shattering the air. Some saw the conspiracy, a take over in the making! I don't know...

Hi OC. I have used this style grip heater on a few bikes including a previous fjr. I use the higher wattage wiring and have a "heat-troller" type control to manage the heat. I do think these ran on high significantly longer than previously. Heated grips allow a variety of gloves to be...
