I didn't write the owner's manual ok? I'm not "ignoring" anything. I like the way so many dudes think they know more than the designers and engineers of this bike. Like they know more than the folks who wrote the book on this bike. Did you take a poll of all FJR riders to see what they...

Yes sir, you sound like you know what you are talking about. But what every one here is ignoring is what the owner's manual says: "Replace the brake hoses every four years." And in my case I'm 2 years over due. They are on order.

Nowhere does it say NOT to apply same force either. I guess you and I have different riding styles.

When I have the bike up on the center stand and in neutral and press the rear brake lever all the way down, yes then I cannot turn the rear wheel at all by hand. But when riding and I press the brake lever all the way down, nothing, no stopping power whatsoever right off the bat.

From YAMAHA booklet LIT-11626-15-41"YOU AND YOUR MOTORCCYLE:RIDING TIPS" page 17 "Always apply both the front and the rear brakes at the same time." which is what I have been doing for the past 5 years on this bike. I always apply both brakes at the same time with approx same force.

The rear brake on my 2005 FJR1300ABS, 25,000 miles, keeps fading. Had the brake fluid flushed and changed by 2 different shops. Had the brake fluid flushed and changed last May in Linclon, Neb. on a trip. Now in August brake has completely faded again, no stopping power at all. One mechanic...

NEVER. Except when I go camping, which is seldom. Like I said, I had my mechanic change the brake fluid front and rear last April. He gave me no indication that I needed new pads then and when I had new tires put on this month. The brakes are working fine today. (And THANKS TO ALL who have...

They are not an authorized Yamaha dealer. And I am thinking of getting a new mechanic. BUT I SOLVED THE PROBLEM. At least temporaily. All I did was take a plastic mallet and tapped both front brake housing a few times. Now the wheel turns and I can ride it OK, but the wheel does not turn...

Had new tires put on my 2005 FJR,ABS, 22,000 miles ,on 10/23/2010. Rode it home in the rain that day only about 6 miles. Next day I noticed the front wheel hard to turn(rotate) so I rode it around the block a few times thinking it would 'shake out'. Then I put it up on center stand for a...

SORRY!!! MY MISTAKE. 36PSI IS CORRECT. BUT NOW I HAVE OTHER ISSUES. SEE NEW POST.

LOVE the picture of the pumpkin lady! Where did you get it?

never mind

Most people hate their jobs anyway. And I think all the stupid incompetent people have jobs now. I have a college degree in Psychology, Associate degree in computers (many years ago) , I have A+ and Network+ certification more recently. Now, I can't find a job to save my life. I am 58...

I know. I got a BIIIIGGGG MOOUTH. I'm a baaaaad boy. I need to find Jesus and keep my mouth shut and my head bowed like a good corporate soldier.

IT help desk. Actually I used to work in Vernon Hills, IL at Deluxe Media about 1/4 mile from Famous Daves BBQ on 60. Do you know of it?

HEY guess what. I am 58 and jobless. All the jobs go to the street punks out there. And also the illegals. HA Ha. I have to laugh. I am a law abiding citizen of USA AND A TAXPAYER TOO. Ha! Have to laugh. I am burning through my life savings real fast. As fast as my dear...

To all the FJR experts out there: How do you know when to change the clutch and brake fluid? The clutch fluid on my FJR '05 looks clean in the indicator window but the brake fluid looks all black. Is this normal? I have only 20k on the bike, everything is working fine.

My ABS red light was flashing sporadicaly a while back, like about 3 or 4 moths ago. Now it stopped flashing and everything seems normal. I have an 05 FJR with less than 20,000 on the clock. I know I probably should have it checked out by my local mechanic, but I'm afraid what it will cost...
