    Remus Hexacone - Pricing?

    Man this thread makes me feel good about the Staintune mufflers I purchased back in 2006 for my 05 FJR. I thought they were high priced back then at $795. That same set of pipes have served me well on that 05 then a 08 and now on a 2014 FJR. Way over 100,000 miles and they still sound and look...

    2016 Is Official 6-spd, Slipper, LEDs, Analog Tach, Price

    I have always liked the evolutionary approach to changes on this bike (very BMW like). It means that the Corbin seat and Staintune pipes I bought for my 2005 also fit my 2008 & 2014ES FJR. I like the color matched side panels and new lighting as well as the color. Really can't see that much...

    Staintune's on my 2014 FJR1300ES

    It surprised me as much as any of you when I saw this. When I first got on the interstate and noticed the instant not cumulative MPG readout was reading 41 to 42 MPG at a steady 65 MPH (the speed limit) I put the bike in cruise. By the way I always use the sport mode. Other than one cloverleaf...

    2016 Is Official 6-spd, Slipper, LEDs, Analog Tach, Price

    Not me, I like the 5 speed. This bike does not need a 6 speed with the prodigious table top flat TQ that the motor produces. Hell I can roll away from a stop in 3rd gear with no hesitation or shudder. I will stick with the 14 ES until I either wear it out or Yamaha introduces big enough changes...

    Staintune's on my 2014 FJR1300ES

    Interesting thing happened when I installed my Staintune pipes on my 2014 ES. I have used the same set of Staintune pipes on all three of my FJR's (2005, 2008 & now a 2014 ES). The 2014 ES has the best fueling stock of the 3. I used a PC and dyno tuning on the earlier FJR's to get the best...

    intermittent cruise control problem on 2014 ES

    The summer of 2014 on a ride to Washington DC from Louisville KY I experienced a problem with the cruise control. when trying to add speed while in cruise by pushing the + resume the bike would not respond to the input every time. At other times it would add speed and then drop back to the...

    Aftermarket mufflers for the 2014

    Anyone put a gen 2 or 3 on a dyno to see if there is any performance advantage with slip on's. I dyno tuned my 05 FJR with the Staintune's & power commander and the difference was only 4 HP. I didn't do anything with tuning on my 08 when I installed the same set of Staintune's and it ran fine...

    Aftermarket mufflers for the 2014

    Leo Vinci makes fine pipes. I have one on my 2013 Honda VFR 1200F.

    WynPro Anti-Vibe Light Brackets

    Anyone use the LD35 lights on Dave's brackets? They are listed at 3.25" diameter vs. the LR4 lights which are listed at 2.125" diameter. The LD35's larger diameter would have .56" less clearance when mounted on Dave's bracket. I have a 2014 FJR 1300ES that I am going to put lights on and need to...

    OEM Yamaha Performance Mufflers

    I have used the same set of Staintune mufflers on my 05, 08 & 2014 FJR's. All stainless construction and no straps, they mount the same as stock.

    any tall fjr riders out there over 6'2''

    No problems at 6 foot 3 and 230 with 34" inseam. I have used the same sargent seat on both my 08 & 14 FJR's. MY first FJR an 05 I used the stock seat. No real problems with the stock seat but I like the Sargent more for long days. A Laminar Lip also helps with turbulence over the stock...

    Good deal or not on 08 FJR

    They gave me $8,400 for the bike 18 months ago. I don't want to buy it back, I was just wondering if it was a fair price for a 08 FJR that is cosmetically like new. .

    Good deal or not on 08 FJR

    I traded my 08 FJR to a local Honda, Yamaha, Suzuki dealer in Sept. 2013. The FJR had 25,600 miles on it and is in perfect cosmetic and mechanical condition. Tires have less than a thousand miles on them & the battery was new when I made the trade. They still have the bike on the sales floor and...

    Damn ....... It did it again

    I have my 2014 ES at the dealer for another cruise control issue. Just returned from a 2000 plus mile trip and I experienced a intermittent problem with the cruise control over a 5 day period. The cruise would set a speed and maintain it. If I used the rocker switch to add or subtract speed the...

    Es Model worth the extra money?

    I can't say how well I would have liked a 14 A model as I bought the ES. Big improvement over my 08 FJR. In my case the difference in price was $950 OTD between the 2014 A & the ES. It was worth it for me for the ability to quickly reset the suspension for different conditions. I just came back...

    Aftermarket mufflers for the 2014

    Staintune stainless steel quality is top notch. Permanently packed so no service needed. I have used the same pair on my 05, 08 &14 models. Over 100,000 miles on the same set.
