Why debate we we can descend into an all-out pissing match? I wasn't happy about the linked brakes on the '06 BEFORE I got my bike. I had to grab a handful this morning when a nimrod changed lanes into my space. However they work, these brakes are awesome. NO COMPLAINTS - but I am learning a...

38 to 40? You're doing good!;-) I got 32 to 35 on the first 2 tanks (was wicking it a bit, & I liked it). Has increased ~5mpg at the 600 mile mark.

A garage door opener is just one more thing I don't need to carry. If wife knows when I'm due home, I just honk the horn, & door opens.

It was a DT 360 (360 cc, least until I bored it a few over. Nice thing about a single cylinder is that you can replace the head out back in the driveway without an assistant. Fancy that with an FJR, just changing the battery looks pretty intimidating to me, but I guess I'll get back into it.)...

+1 - How do I find out what "number" my bike is?

Had a similar problem from neutral to 1 at light (was hot). (don't want to hear I shouldn't have been sitting in neutral.) Embarassing. Brand new, less than 300 miles on it yet. Rev'd it a couple of times and kicked it down. Funny, I remember my '73 Yammie would do the same thing once and a...

Buying a Harley IS an investment. Just not a good one. But then, what would that Harley rider have known... I'm pretty sure there is an Easter bunny, he left an '06 in my garage

Like the song, the waiting is the hardest part. Yamaha gives you six months to obsess about buyers remorse. I picked my bike up last Thursday, and all worries disappeared. Some minor annoyances, as with any mechanical design. There's a little heat on the left shin, an annoying WHISTLE, an...

Picked up # 007 on April 28, Ordered it Oct 28. Is there any relationship between the order date, number and delivery date. Or was it just fate?

I'd be interested, but only if it didn't WHISTLE.

On the average, it depends on how your rebound is set and how big the shreds are...

I'm 198 cm tall, that's 5'18" if you are metrically challenged. The FJR is the most comfortable bike I've ever ridden, or sat on for that matter. Fell in love the minute I put a leg over one and knew I had to have her. Much more comfortable than the ST, especially if you have long legs. The...

I found that it's much easier to remove a bag from the FJR than it is from the Honda ST.

I only got one - I thought it was to stop the whistle

Glad you guys can see the humor in this. NOT funny - Mine whistles Xsepticly. Makes an annoying noise like a wing window on a '53 Chevy. Anytime windshield is half-raised or higher at any speed above 45 mph. CANNOT belive Yamaha designed a windshield like this and did not test it thoroughly...

Ordered mine Oct 28. Seems East Coast deliveries are a little later. Came in 2 days ago. Picking it up tomorrow after work. Heck, I may cut out early. :clap: :clap: :clap:

They made a lot of improvements on the '06... ...and at least half of them worked.

Let's get back on topic - I like a little extra virgin olive oil served with the garlic bread

It is dirty? Lucky guy, you must be ridin it. Wish I had a dirty-O-six.

Your report makes me glad I decided to wait it out for an '06 even though I missed a lot of riding time, just somebody tell me why they decided to screw with the turn signals, I really liked those big flaming arrows
