    2013 Microfiche?

    Try Babbittsonline, they have discounted OEM parts fiche, they list parts for the 2013 California FJR and for 49 state FJR. https://www.yamahapartshouse.com/oemparts/#/c/yamaha_motorcycle_2013/parts I've purchased parts from Babbitts for a previous bike and received very good service.

    Motorcycle Consumer News 2013 FJR Review

    That was one of the big reasons I went for the FJR.. a valve adjustment job on the Connie - according to the dealer I talked to - is 8 hours in the shop, because most of the fairing has to be removed, as well as the radiator to get at the top of the engine, then the cams have to come out...

    Gen III Yamaha mirror mounted handguard photos (2013 FJR)

    The last 2 pictures were posted by a French owner who bought them from Yamaha France and installed them on his bike.. That's why he posted the picture with the part number.. maybe it's not available in Greece.

    Gen III Yamaha mirror mounted handguard photos (2013 FJR)

    For your winter cabin fever amusement: While waiting for March to get back on 2 wheels and test the new mirror handguards, I did some surfing of FJR sites in other languages that I speak and found these pics on a French site: French police FJR with OEM speakers in the mirror handguards: and...

    What is the correct alternator output then? There's no mention of it on the Yamaha Canada site.

    Datel Install Location Inquiry

    I didn't want to cut into the panels or have any visible wires exposed, so I ended up doing this ghetto installation and it worked out ok.. the viewing angle is pretty good from the saddle. Just zip tied to the clutch hose, it's tight, it holds the unit in place without deforming the clutch line.

    Missing mud flap on 2013

    I had my dealer order one for me.. $10.. it came in a day later.. e-z on.. I haven't seen any US dealer listing a hugger for the FJR.. I presume it's a Pyramid plastics hugger.. same makers as the Fenda Extenda...which is sold here, but no hugger.

    FJR vs BMW K1600GT vs Triumph Trophy?

    Same here.. I sat on it, and was surrounded by acres of plastic... it's so bulbous.. it looks like a bloated 1200RT and it felt very top heavy... add the nearly non existent Triumph dealership network in my area... and the known reliability of the FJR and it was a no brainer for me, especially...

    The FJR has pushed my cruiser into oblivion

    The FJR does everything the cruiser does but much better and SAFER! IMO cruisers are inherently dangerous as one who rides them into the curves quickly finds out that you can't maintain a good rate of speed due to the limited to very limited cornering clearance... cruisers are for "cruising" and...

    FJR vs BMW K1600GT vs Triumph Trophy?

    As I've posted before, I had a BMW K1600GT and what a great engine it has.. too bad the transmission is worse than agricultural and the drive line lash is distressingly loud and very noticeable and annoying.. In addition to a multitude of quality and design flaws, I got rid of it... (funny how...

    Garauld Hiway Peg Mounting Plates

    Thanks for the pics! They look easier to install on Gen 3 bikes on the right side since there's no fairing in the way. My order's in! Thanks Gary for making them available to us!

    ''MV handlebar adapter plate with angle adjustment for Gen III 2013/model''

    It's certainly an attractive alternative to replacing the triple clamp and by the GIF animation on their site, it looks like in the closest to the rider positing, the handlebars end up just over the Yamaha logo, which is where the Helibars end up. Thanks for the link.

    Seat?

    Russell Day Long also makes another version of their day long seat called the "Sport" seat and does not have the protruding upper thigh support wings. I've had an RDL seat on my last 4 bikes and it's truly a day long seat, but never I've never tried their Sport seat.. Anyone used a Russell sport...

    FJR Loyalty

    I own both Yamaha's. The SuperTenere is not an off road bike, it's an off pavement bike. Out of the box, the SuperTen is restricted in the first 3 gears giving it a somewhat lethargic off the mark acceleration. A 50 cent / 10 second mod lifts the restriction and the bike just roars off the...
