    Best Oil And Filter?

    I bought Mobil 1 MX4T the other day at Wal-Mart in an off to the side motorcycle section away from all the other motor oils. The shelf was restocked with more MX4T a few days later. I'm not saying you guys aren't right about it being discontinued, but we still have some of it here in Arizona at...

    Cut The Crap

    But I haven't had any problems, I just can't remember with what eh, or.........why. It's just my opinion and I'll stay confused about it, thank you very much. What was the question again? :dribble:

    Installation Of Mic/speakers Into Helmet

    StarCom 1 is the system I use and really like it. Those molded ear plugs should work with any of the autocomm systems. The molded ear plugs end in a standard 3.5mm male plug, so the real question is does autocomm provide a 3.5mm input for this type of headset? StarCom did as an option on their...

    Installation Of Mic/speakers Into Helmet

    Putting speakers in a good helmet is not difficult especially if you can remove or at least get under the padding around the base of the helmet. I have the Shoei X-11 and it was a piece of cake. The speakers I used required you to apply an adhesive velcro pad where the speaker would go then all...

    Gear

    I agree that no one should TELL anyone what they should or shouldn't wear. But how many articles do you have to read like the one in MCN, I think this month, about the lady recovering from road rash and the years of hell she went through, including the stay at the burn unit in the hospital, to...

    Hes Trying To Ban Us All !!!!

    It is sad that there is all this crap going on. There are multiple FJR forums out there that coexist just fine. Basically this comes down to what everything else does and that's what/who provides the best service, plain and simple. It's not personal, or at least should not be. If any paticular...

    Cee Baileys Or Rifle...

    I can only speak up for the Rifle touring windshield. I use it without the tuning block (which they include anyway) and it is a significant improvment over the stock WS and works very well in general, no real buffet. It fit the factory holes without any problems. I'm about 6' as a reference. The...

    First Oil Thread - Seriously

    Just to throw another log on the fire........ what is the deal with Mobile 1 MX4T 10W40 4 Cycle Fully Synthetic Motorcycle Oil? Just hype, too expensive, other stuff is better, what? I found it at Wal-Mart in a little motorcycle section off to the side in automotive, not with the other motor...

    Yamaha Windshield Nuts

    Ryan is correct. With the windshield off, facing the front of the bike, the rubber grommets with the embedded nut go in the hole nut first, flange (edge of the top hat) last. As you tighten the screw, the rubber expands inside and outside the hole tightening the whole attach point very securely...

    Radar Detectors, Anyone?

    Valentine 1 on the FJR Goodies ECM shelf. V1 is the only way to go, super sensitive, direction indicator (very important) and a counter (how many).

    Do You Use A Tank Bag When Riding Locally?

    I bought the Yamaha Supersport Touring Tank Bag from FJR Goodies thinking I would use it only on long trips. Well it is so convinient that I use it almost everytime I ride now. Everything is right there and easy to get to. Easy to pull off (just magnets holding it on) and take with (shoulder...

    Gps

    Garmin StreetPilot 2610 on a StemStand. Perfect size and capability GPS on a perfect mount, giving me full visibility of all my guages and keeping the GPS at just the right spot for viewing. The 276C picture in a previous post, basically shows what it is like but no antenna sticking up and the...

    Waiting Patiently . . . .

    These FJR's seem to come in waves. We had that big push in May then nothing for awhile. My guess is that the June push is all but here probably just a week before you hear as then June will almost be over. Good luck and let us know when it gets in. :blink:

    Fz1 Mirrors

    For the Big and Tall crowd the FZ1 mirrors are great! Much improved visibility, steady as a rock and they still fold in. I've got "good as new" stock mirrors if anyone needs them. :D

    Something To Consider

    I concur, use the best products, but stick to the manufacturers schedule. You should maximize performance/wear while still maintaining a valid warranty status. Best of both worlds! IMHO ;)
