    Wild Bill Peg Pics, WI area with exhaust, Throttle locks,

    I got my seat back from Spencer's yesterday. Rode 364 miles today and I'm very happy with the results so far. It's but much better than the stock seat.

    Calling all Gamrin users

    I have the Nuvi 660. I use it in the car and on the FJR. Not the best unit for either one. You're right the Mapsoure software really sucks. Any construction updates or changes in exits made in the last 3 or 4 years don't show up. In some areas if you follow the voice prompts you'll miss the...

    Wild Bill Hiway Pegs

    Is Wild Bill still making his Hiway Pegs? I've tried the email address from FJR-Tips and didn't get a reply. Anyone have contact info? Thanks

    Is anyone into shortwave radio?

    Not much info on the website you listed. An outside antenne shouldn't be needed for testing. A simple wire connected to the antenna input should work. The forgien broadcast stations in the 40 and 75 meter bands are strong enough to be heard. See if there is a mode switch. You make have it on FM...

    Georgia To Colorado

    Be prepared for all types of weather in CO. That time of year can be very unsettled. If time allows look at the Hwy 12 loop out around Monument Lake or better yet Hwy 165 thru the San Isabel Nat'l forest. Ride Safe and have a good trip.

    Altitude surging on 07 fix

    You also need to research the Lemon Laws in your State. There is a time frame/mileage limit and several other factors that must be meet. The ones I looked at had a one year limit.

    Altitude surging on 07 fix

    Only 26 complaints so far to the NHTSA for 07 FJRs. If you own an 07 please consider filing a complaint. If it is a design problem it will effect all 07 models. NHTSA I can't link to the results page you'll have to use the search.

    Altitude surging on 07 fix

    Nice doesn't always work. Often nice people get walked on and taken advantage of. I've done nice for the last 3 months, it hasn't worked. So, it's time for a diffrent approch. I got a date ("the end of the month") from someone at Yamaha let's see what happens. My guess is it'll pass and we'll...

    Altitude surging on 07 fix

    Sorry, but sometimes it helps to vent a little anger. It was done PC and no threats as of yet. Yamaha could care less about the website. It's internet rumor as far as they are concerned. A bunch of hotheads, like myself blowing off steam. You'll still have to deal with your Yamaha dealer who...

    Altitude surging on 07 fix

    The Service Writer said he talked to the Tech Dept and Brian is a Product Specialist at Yamaha. I can't talk to the Tech Dept it's dealers only. Two departments within the same company and neither knows what the other is doing. Yamaha or the dealer one is telling me a bunch of bullshit. Either...

    Altitude surging on 07 fix

    Brian at Yamaha also told me they expect something by the end of the month. Didn't say which month. But you would think he meant this month. I don't know. Maybe that's a line of BS as well. The Service Writer did a little backing up when I called back and got on his ass. I wish I'd never got...

    Altitude surging on 07 fix

    I'm getting a line of BS from someone. The Service Writer says one thing and Brian at Yamaha says another. Which one is right? I'm sick of dealing with this problem. Am I getting the run around from the dealer or Yamaha? Either way the POS still doesn't run.

    I don't know why he would lie to me. I'm on the phone with Yamaha now.

    07 FJR

    I talked to the Service Writer at Altus Motorsports where I got my 07 FJR, he called Yamaha then called me back. In a nutshell what he told me was, Yamaha knows there is a problem with all 07's. It is a result of a sensor which was eliminated as a cost cutting measure. Yamaha considers the...
