    Please Help! Big question for those with tech skills

    I didn't think you could even buy hubs anymore, I thought they were all switches. +1 on the uplink port.

    FJRF003.1: Ignition Switch

    In a world where people take their dealer to task and hold them accountable for doing the recall work correctly, there are only ONE key solutions.....It doesn't take a perfect world. Now, for folks that changed their ignition themselves, that is a valid solution....not the case in this topic...

    FJRF003.1: Ignition Switch

    Why would you have a key made with 2 different profiles when the dealer should have fixed it correctly in the first place?

    Good luck getting gas...I wouldn't ride real far until you get it sorted out. Bengt is right, they were supposed to use your old tumbler, thus keeping your old keys for everything. PM me your email address and I'll send you a copy of the yamaha tech bulletin.

    Does Friday the Thirteenth get any better than this?

    company provided lease car ? Sounds like it's the companies issue...I'd have rented a car and headed home....Bosses problem.

    Tire mounting

    WOW...They tried to give you a serious shafting..... You got a great deal from SWMoto...I paid 297 with free shipping about 2 weeks ago for a set of PR2s There was a thread about a group buy on PR2s I think they were 275 shipped but I didn't see that until it was too late. I need to take mine...

    Hi Way Pegs Finished

    Awesome job. Obviously you put a lot of work/craftsmanship in them. They fold up nicely and look very professionally done. :thumbsupsmiley:

    FJRF003.1: Ignition Switch

    The TechBulletin from Yamaha states they keep the lock cylinder (meaning still use the old key), CALL THEM WHILE YOU'RE STILL PISSED.

    FJRF003.1: Ignition Switch

    Has anyone posted the actual dealer Tech Bulletin yet? I have a copy from my dealer showing the exact steps the dealer has to follow. I didn't want to wade through 14 pages of this thread to find out. I'll PDF it and email it to anyone willing to post it on their webspace for all to download...

    YES Warranty

    FYI for anyone living in Florida....The YES price (and any other vehicle warranty) is fixed by the state. It was ~740.00 when I bought it last weekend after taxes for the 4 year. It would have been the same at any dealer and you CANNOT buy from an out of state dealer if you live in Florida...

    Quiting the Nicotine

    Same here....Cold turkey the only way. Let EVERYONE around you know that tomorrow is the day and you may be an a-hole but don't take it personally....Also, letting everyone know makes it harder to fall off the wagon. It's mind over matter....be stubborn and talk yourself through each craving...

    FJR engine

    My last three bikes were v-twins (one of them a 1700cc warrior) so the FJR seems "buttah-smooth" to me.

    RoadID

    As a road bike cyclist that was hit by a hit and run driver 9-1-07 and left beside the road for dead at 6am on a saturday......yeah, these are a good idea. Luckily I only shattered a bone in my arm, I could have been hurt much worse. It's actually an interesting story HERE if anyone is bored...

    Cheap FJRs in Florida

    Central/South Florida have always had the best prices I could find throughout the southeast on any bike I was pricing. The couple I bought new, I took South Florida Quotes to my local dealer and told them to come within 300.00 (my ~travel costs to go get it) to get my business and they did both...

    Y.E.S. 48 Mo. Plan

    I got the confirmation from Yamaha. Even though I am the second owner, I can still purchase the YES as long as the bike is within the one year warranty period (it is until July 27 09) Here the stickler....For us lucky Florida folks where extended warranties are a fixed price at any dealer in...

    Y.E.S. 48 Mo. Plan

    I assume you were addressing my question. What I was wondering is can I buy the YES being the second owner that just got the bike that is still within the first one year warranty. I know, I should call Yamaha, just thought someone might have had that scenario. Probably pretty rare to buy a...
