As I posted elsewhere, the buzz I had been chasing since last Fall disappeared with the new harness. No other changes were made - the bike just smoothed back out.

Just had a new wiring harness installed and a warranty rebuild of my Forks by this dealer. Work was done on time and to a very high level of professionalism. I have had the bike completely apart since the work was done and every single piece is back where it belongs and every fastener is in...

:yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: Following dealer installation of the new wiring harness, and my installation of Brodie's harness, I pulled the Forks and took them into the Dealership yesterday for a full rebuild under warranty. Went back and got them a couple of hours later and put the bike back...

Just finished doing exactly the same thing. I used the centerstand and a floor jack, placing a piece of 1 X 8 pine between the floor jack and the header tubes. Make the piece of wood long enough so that it spans all four tubes. It'll sit there for a long time, as long as you don't crash into...

I think the secret might have been that you were only riding 30 miles, especially at this time of year. The bike was not going through a full heat/cool cycle. My guess is that it's moot at this point in time as the level has probably stabilized by now. If it hasn't, try a six hour ride...

It's been a while since I bought my 2006 "A", but I'm pretty sure the list price of an "AE" in 2006 was not $15299. If I renmber correctly, the list on the "A" was about $12,500 and the "AE" was about $1500 more. At any rate, and regardless, the price he is looking for on a bike that is...

Just installed my Brodie harness. A relatively simple procedure. The biggest problem is getting the caps off S5 (just for the maintenance and put back together), S7 and S8. You are conscious of how fragile those connectors are and you are trying not to stress them while you get a firm enough...

As a starting reference point, you can go on-line on the Progressive website and get a quote. That will give you some idea of comparison.

All FJRs after 2005 have ABS. Some FJRs before 2006 have ABS.

I assume that question was directed at me and the answer is yes. I filed a report the first time and filed another report this time.

For those of us having either strange or intermittent electrical issues on their Gen II bikes, don't be too quick to assume the ground spiders can't be the culprit in your case. Everyone should read Brodie's explanation of how the entire grounding circuit is connected. Those little devils are...

I think you're talking about the side visor (the part that can be placed in two positions to help with heat from summer to winter). Other than trying to find one on a place like Craig's List or EBAY, you are dependent on Yamaha. You may be able to find one from a different yeaer and have it...

Alan, Do you think the formation of the "tire pearls" is exacerbated by the Dyna Beads? Dan

Here's a slightly different thought on the subject. I find that the bike handles about the same with the front tire pressure anywhere between 38 and 41 pounds, as long as you keep a differential of +3 pounds from front to rear. I just picked up my bike from the dealer and it handled like a...

I'll try to remember to get some pictures the next time I mount it. The cutting was pretty simple. I masking taped the whole top of the windshield and used that to draw a template, using the top edge as a guide. A saber saw with a metal cutting blade, moved very slowly to prevent melting was...

I can do that with my FJR..... except for the turning around the cones part!!!

Thanks, Slardy. Yamaha agreed to rebuild the forks. Parts are on the way.

Have you given any thought to finding one of those Dr Scholls semi custom orthotic stands (see their website)? If the outside of your boots are OK, the orthotics might help your walking and can be transferred into any new boots you buy later. At $50. they're cheaper than any boots you may find.

Remove the bar end. It isn't strictly necessary. But, it makes life easier. Air - good, soap - bad. Sometimes, a long, narrow philips head screwdriver slid under the length of the puppy and rolled around the grip, while you push the puppy with your other hand, can help get it on the last...
