FZ-1 mirror are what everyone uses and the ones I have on my 07. Part numbers: 5LV-26280-00-00 REAR VIEW MIRROR ASSY (LEFT) 5LV-26290-00-00 REAR VIEW MIRROR ASSY (RIGHT) comparison pics: https://www.fjrforum.com/forum//index.php?showtopic=100993&hl= I suspect that R-1 mirrors would make the...

In addition to all the great suggestions above, I also unwound the throttle spring on my 07 FJR to make it less stiff. The only downside is that the throttle doesn't snap back to idle when riding down the road, but this isn't an issue for me. Between the G2 throttle tamer, the PC-III and the...

If that one is too big for you, here's the petit model (and no, I'm not talking about the pillion): https://cyrilhuzeblog.com/wp-content/uploads/johndeererun1.jpg

Thanks for the follow up. My 07 is still spider problem free and I didn't even install an aftermarket harness. My only mod is the elimination of the S7 spider that failed on my bike by cutting it off and soldering all the wires together. I had the factory recall done when it came out, but...

Are you worried about cars being able to run you over? Someone has come up with a solution: https://komonews.com/news/offbeat/indiana-man-builds-massive-motorcycles

Nice wood working and engineering there! I did a similar thing to hold coffee cups in my left saddlebag. Wood is so much easier (and cheaper) to work with than metal. ;)

Why is it that I IMMEDIATELY thought of you when I saw the thread title? :)

Before you pull the PC III, I'd suggest just reconnecting the stock FI harness behind the throttle bodies (the PC III just plug in IN-LINE with the factory harness to intercept and modify the signal to the injectors). That way you can test operation without the PC III and easily go back to...

Rode it to work again (like I do everyday unless there's snow on the ground). But checking the countdown timer on my phone, I see that I will only have to do this 71 more times before I retire. The fine print: I'll officially retire the end of February 2019, but won't actually work a single...

I can't see the dyno chart, thanks to the firewall here at work, but sounds like you're seeing 125 hp? That's impressive for those kind of miles! My 07 with 133,000 miles feels like it's down on power a little. I did note on my last valve check (and also first adjustment) that the timing is...

My last chain bike, a 97 CBR1100XX, had the original chain on it with 35,000 miles when I sold it. NO, it wasn't crunching with stiff links when I sold it. I never lubed the chain, but religiously applied WD40 during it's life. Stops the chain from rusting, cleans it and doesn't attract dirt...

The oil light came on once on my 07 when it was fairly new. I immediately panicked (thinking low oil pressure), killed the engine and pulled over. Oil level was toward the low mark but still within serviceable limits so I rode home. Research revealed that the light is a LEVEL light and not a...

For reference, the non 06-07 slave cylinder is an easy exchange and lightens the clutch pull. I did mine when my original 07 stave started leaking and found you can't buy just a new seal from Yamaha. Yeah, I could have tried to source a seal elsewhere, but the replacement 08 slave cylinder...

Have you tried the WOT (Wide Open Throttle) start method? It's a fairly common issue with the FJR that's usually caused by starting a cold bike and then shutting it off before it fully warms up (but not always). Sometimes a week later it won't start without using WOT and cranking for a while...

Smaller tech day than past ones, but all the important people showed. Thanks Bryan and Marissa for hosting again. I finally can put faces to the forum names FastJoyRide, Chazglenn and Dzane while we exterminated some scary spiders (OK - none were scary yet but better to do PM than wait for...

I thought John Ryan did it in 86.5 hours back in 2009 on a 2005 FJR. Is that the record or did someone else beat his time in 80 hours?

Someone filmed a video of you :

My experience also. I've even had BMW owners ask me how I like my BMW. :) LOL

Reading a review on Amazon, someone complained about the MP3 player. A response was added by Garmin with a link to how to load music into the Zumo: https://support.garmin.com/en-US/?faq=tytHec27o01tlI9YgQASL6&searchType=noProduct Maybe this helps?
