    Wanted 03-05 FJR

    Painting The Pony

    hey folks: In the event that a Feejer owner might want to go totally stealth and paint their bike a totally different (non-factory) color, where would be best ? Would a regular automotive shop be a good choice or is there something special that only a "bike paint shop" would know/do ? Not...

    Purchasing 2006 In Ca

    "The best quote I have got in Southern Ca is $14810 OTD for the 06 1300A. Any one know where to get a better deal? " Who gave you this quote, if I might ask ? Do they have a website ?

    Next Generation AE

    I want another factory gadget-thingy that like the BMW automobile, calls me on the handlebar-mounted satellite phone to tell me that the oil needs changing, and then the thermal printer in the left-side luggage prints a complete record of all the oil and filter "discussion" threads from this...

    Purchasing 2006 In Ca

    My experience in buying my bike -- 2005 ABS (with a story or two): I read about the Feejer when I discovered that someone other than BMW made a sport-touring bike. I had salivated over the old R90RS for many years but never bit the bullet. Then I drooled over the R1150 RT models for months...

    You Sobs Are Crazy

    sorry about your rates, all you folks in Texas. My rate here in California is $12 per month through USAA.

    FJR Dealer Margin

    When I looked at the 2005 ABS model at East Bay Motorsports in Hayward, CA, the sales dude mentioned $1,000 (more or less) for set-up and another grand for shipping. Seemed like dealer BS to me.

    2006 FJR1300AE

    I thought part of growing up was to learn how to shift for yourself, as opposed to being shiftless. Personally, I enjoy shifting "manually" except when the lupus that I have tweaks my finger joints ... and I get some arthritic-type after-effects from the movements. But it doesn't happen all...

    Old Stock Of 2005 Models ????

    good morning one and all: I just shlepped through the new issue of SF Weekly (the free weekly paper in San Francisco) and saw an ad for a local dealership that purports to have 2005 models for sale. The dealership is Bay Area Yamaha in San Mateo. The link is...

    More Rumors On The 2006

    for those who care, (if it works properly) this factory website link should provide a side-by-side comparison of the 2005 and 2006 models...... https://www.yamaha-motor.com/sport/products.../0/compare.aspx The 2006 is four inches shorter ...... geez, SHORTER is better ? Who dreamed up that...

    More Rumors On The 2006

    the "brochure" top which I referred was at ---- https://www.bikes-n-spikes.org/misc/misc.html which was in the message itself. I dunno if it qualifies as a real "brochure" but that's what I done called the thang.

    Beowulf Rad Guard

    I remember reading maybe two months ago that a fellow named "[email protected]" had been working on some homemade rad guards, and was selling them to owners for about $50. I think I read about this on ...... a "different" Feejer owner site.

    More Rumors On The 2006

    Just finished the read of the "brochure" that explains the rationale why everyone who already has a Feejer should buy the 2006 model. One thing that happened while checking it out was upon seeing the fairing air vents on the sides, I remembered that my 1983 Vision had the same feature. I liked...

    DIY 600 Mile Service?

    I did a combination initial check-up. I did the oil and filter change myself, as well as the final gear oil change, probably saving about $60 or more. I did, however, succumb to the dealer for the synch and other vagarities, with the total tab of $136. Sigh. I don't have an instument for...

    How Safe It Is ?

    the Yamaha Show and Tell is October 1 from 9 am until high noon, at 17288 Skyline Blvd in Woodside. It's gotten a full-page ad in the new issue of SF Weekly, with the sub-headline of "Be the first to find out how bad you need one." Obviously that means "if you are ready to give the dealer a...

    How Safe It Is ?

    It's coming, it's coming. The 2006 Feejer Show and Tell, that is, at Alice's on the California coast. I'd like to get out that way for both a look at the new model and a nice ride on mine. But a friend told me that on the weekend, the roads look like Laguna Seca, with people racing around all...

    No Spine For The Splines ?

    Maybe the motto of the early lubrication story is "a spline in time saves nine" ?

    No Spine For The Splines ?

    Warchild, you are truly the epitomy of brevity ! "A link is worth a thousand words" (or at least a bunch of dozen plus some color photos) BTW, where's the best place to get the HondaPro Moly stuffablob ? Just a shop such as Pep Boys or Kragens ? gracias, muchachos ! :clap: I think I...
