    Vader Version 2 point 0 - aka let's try this again...

    Thank you very much for this info, I wasn't aware that admore had an FJR specific harness.. I just ordered it. Below is a picture of the connector (on the extreme right) you are referring to, correct?

    Vader Version 2 point 0 - aka let's try this again...

    What is the FJR specific Admore lighting harness and how does it attach to the bike? I have an admore harness, but it terminates in bare wires and is posi-tapped into the tail light section..

    First 2013 "Mods" and First "Problems"

    Thanks for the detailed info on the headlight modulators. Do you run them on the low beam or high beam? It looks pretty tight in there, thanks for the pics also.

    Helibars Group Buy for FJR Triple Clamp

    Now that the 2013 FJR's are rolling out of show rooms, I thought I would organize a group buy with Helibars directly. FJRforum member Fairlaner has moved his Helibars triple clamp from his Gen II to Gen III so we know it will fit withtout issues. The triple clamps replace the stock one and...

    Sliders-2013

    Thanks for the pics of the mirror mounted "handguards". According to Fairlaner, the Vstrom handguards will not fit 2013 FJR, as they will hit the cockpit at full lock. I'm not crazy about the look, but - for me - the price is right. There's nothing else in the OEM accessories list that I would...

    Sliders-2013

    I have a pair on order and they are in stock. Yamaha Canada has a $500 gift card for accessories, so I ordered those and the mirror mounted handguards, on the condition that if I don't like the looks of the handguards, I don't have to take them, since no one can show us pics of what they look...

    2013 FJR - Product announced!

    It's not flat black, it looks painted, here's another pic, I hope the north american market will be spared this color scheme in the future.

    2013 Cruise Control

    In your letter to Yamaha referencing the European cruise control, you could add that the Canadian Gen III also has the higher speed setting limit. Canadians can set theirs at a higher maximum speed than US bikes? That's gotta change. :)

    2013 FJR - Product announced!

    If Yamaha were to offer a dual clutch model, like the one used in Honda's VFR1200 and NC700X, I would have ordered it but it seems dual clutch in bikes is ahead of its time. Dual clutch is on the cutting edge and is technology transferred from Formual One cars. Forumula One cars have done away...

    First 2013 "Mods" and First "Problems"

    It would be highly appreciated if you could give us installation pics of the Kisan headlight modulator.

    Gen I vs. Gen II / III Seat Pan

    The RDL seat has a seat spring base under the foam, you're better off sending it to them and asking them to fit it to the new seat pan.

    Most Desireable FJR Instrument Cluster

    I am afflicted with MBD (multiple bike disorder) and find the large digital speedo on my Yamaha SuperTenere much easier to see at a glance with the added bonus of being able to switch it from mph to km/h when I cross the border. So I'm thrilled that that they've gone to a digital speedo on gen...

    Gen3 Owners--How Are Your Screens Set?

    Can you mix and match? My preference would be: A temp C temp Trip 1 (to get an idea of fuel tank range and fuel gauge accuracy) Will have to experiment once my gen 3 arrives.

    My 2013 FJR has arrived.....

    Richard, I just ordered my Gen III today. It only took me 6 years of admiring it till I took the plunge.. I want to get the service manual as well, did you get yours in PDF or on paper? And what should I expect to pay for one? Thank you.

    2013 FJR - Product announced!

    I read thru the Gen 3 owner's manual and there's no mention of how the linked brakes work. The Yamaha rep at the bike show yesterday was saying that the brakes are linked, so even when you apply the rear brake, you are still get some front brake application. I was under the impression that the...

    2013 FJR1300 Naked Pics

    Anyone know why there are two different versions of the Helibars triple clamp?? I had a close look at the one with the immobilizer and it looks like it's external to the triple clamp and doesn't look all that different than the pic posted by Fairlaner of his Gen 3 FJR, shown here for comparison...

    2013 FJR1300 Naked Pics

    I went to the bike show today and they had 2 Gen III FJR's on the floor, one was stripped of its fairing, I snapped a bunch of pics with my phone, and thought I'd share them... I've been lusting for an FJR for a few years now, and I see a Gen III in my future come spring: I asked the Yamaha...

    Should Get Mine Tomorrow.....

    Congrats!! Let's see the new baby!! And let the farkeling begin! :) Mercifully they opted to bring the champagned colored version rather than the brownish one.

    My Impressions of the MV Motorrad Bar Riser

    Gen 2, Post 38 is great, but it would be even more helpful to see a before and after picture from the side to see how the arms are stretched and what the posture of the rider looks like seated on the bike, and we'd need the rider's height and leg inseam to give us an idea of how it's going to...
