I don't mean to offend and point out the obvious here, but if you had the blue FJR, this thread would be irrelevant, as you do not need a sidestand at all. All blue FJRs will levitate right where you put them. Very handy if you need to lean one all the way over (without touching, of course) to...

Good list! Thanks for pointing that out. Got a quote back today for $5400 in repair. Think that might have been a bit high, but obviously was very thorough. Rear frame, rear inner and outer, bag, supports, etc. From what I understand the guy that hit me hasn't tried to pull anything funny, so...

Just the plastic thankfully. Thanks for the offer on the silver one, but I would much rather have the factory painted parts in blue. Sometimes mixed results in repaint on plastic from what I hear, not to mention the labor expense and paint matching issues. Just took it to the local Yamaha dealer...

A Dodge Ram 1 ton tried to make me his new hood ornament. I dodged, he rammed. I got away, but not before he took off my right rear bag, dented the right exhaust can, and crunched the tail fairing. Anyone have any of these they have sitting around and would like to sell, please let me know...

I just ordered two sets of Buell Lightening pegs. About $25 for the set. One for the 08 busa and one for the 05 FJR. I have not heard of anyone doing the Buell peg mod on the FJR, so might do a write-up if it goes well. A lot of sport bike riders do the mod, so a quick search will turn up quite...

Saw this one the other day. Interesting concept and with built in back rest, waterproof, etc. Something like this would be a good starting point, IMO. https://www.bikersfriend.com/

The Skyway spacers that are mentioned on these boards in several places are a great place to start on getting the wind under control. They essentially change the tilt angle of the windshield by raising the lower edge of the windshield about 1/2" away from the faring. Allows a little more air to...

OK, this company claims that this new plug burns fuel faster. Good? I didn't see them address this point, but isn't there a small issue with rapid combustion of gas during the combustion cycle causing detonation and "pinging" the pistons off the cylinder walls? This is the reason that we pay...

OK, then bingo on that one. If that is a big issue, then that's what happened here. Last time I started it was during a cold day a few weeks ago just hear it run. (I know, silly, but sometimes you just have to hear an engine run) Only ran about 1-2 minutes and shut it down. Thanks. You the...

It's very obvious that he was "saving face" by throwing Yamaha Corp. under the bus. I guess they just pull the bags out of the bike shipping crate and say, "Wow, that is so weird that Yamaha keeps sending us these 'accessory' bags in all these FJR shipments, usually we get our accessory orders...

OK, I read a few of the flooding posts, still seems a bit odd that it would fire then die, and not restart. Most of the flooding posts seem to be about not firing at all. I didn't smell any gas either, so didn't think it would be flooded. However, a lot of the posts seem to indicate that this is...

Just wanted to add my $.02. I kind of had this same issue yesterday and today. I had done no recent changes to the FJR other than changing the front tire out, and it had set for about 30 days. (Yeah, I know, crappy weather) I went to start it up and it fired for just about 3 seconds and then...

You might to a search for the "Show Chrome" brand of heated grips put out by Bigbikeparts.com. There is an post on these forums about how they are almost a dead ringer for the stock Yamaha grips, including the controller being the size to mount into the left fairing top mounting plate. They are...

Holy freaking black love, Batman! I like that color as much as I disliked last years Blah Cherry color, which is a lot. BE-U-TE-FUL. Congrats!

I must be missing something here because I thought the new AE was charcoal (graphite) and and A was going to be black. You rode a black AE? Are they doing black in both now or was that just for the show?

Ok, this one kind of made me a bit nervous. I just pulled my front wheel on Saturday in prep to get a new tire put on, and found that the front axle was threaded into the left fork, but not fully seated. :dribble: Looking on fjrtech.com, I noted there is supposed to be 56 lbs. of torque on...

Pretty funny, gotta watch the juice on those bad boys... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bc55jV255mU

Ya know, quietly cruising down the road in silence sounds a lot more like rusting out than burning out to me. ;) I know where you are coming from, I have been riding for 14 years and this is the first time I have ever entertained an array of electronics outside of my Passport 8500 with me...

I will give Jeff a call. Just ordered the techmount w/ 2" stem online from them today, so maybe get the Kenwood coming. Seems there must be a cheaper radio out there that has 12v option! I am going to use the GRMS very infrequently, so $160 is relatively expensive for duration of use. Guess a...

I did the Ebay $30 tank blanket the other day, put it on in 20 min. I have noticed that it still gets pretty dang hot when it gets low, so I try to fill up at 1/3 tank. Seems to help quite a bit with the tank full, but even then still gets pretty warm around the bottom edges of the tank after 30...
