I've got one of these on my Gen II, and while I do enjoy it and can't image being with out now that I'm all farkled up, I have had one issue with it from day one that continues to be a problem. Vibration. I've tried one GPS, now I have two and a radar detector on it and honestly it's better...

That's what they told me, but I was just going to let that part slide. Thanks for the info though. PM's sent!

Looking to add another set of auxiliary lights to my Gen II FJR, but I need a set of brackets. The one's I'd really like were made by the folks at FJR Goodies i.e. Desert Valley Powersports but they are no longer building them. It's purely from a looks point of view, but I prefer mounts that...

Shot in the dark here... Twice now my wife and I have run up on, and then with, a black FJR running two up while going south bound on hwy US 52 north of Winston Salem, NC. Both times they jumped off at the Hickory Tree Road exit and we continued on south towards our home in Lexington, NC. My...

I won't argue with your logic, but... It's against franchise agreements to sell a bike in a crate, it has to be set up and a pre-delivery done. Since failure to do this can cost a dealer his franchise, most won't do it. I know, most. Also, typically when a dealer takes "new" units they are...

I've got over ten years invested in the industry and I can tell you this much for sure. A Honda dealer CAN NOT warranty register a Yamaha. I give them some wiggle room for having a Yamaha in the crate if the same dealer principal owns both dealerships but... With out a valid Yamaha dealer...

Welcome from Lexington, NC. Bruce IBA #42020

Just thought I'd post an update. I ran through a bottle of Ring Free and the problem cleared up. In fact, after about 10 minutes of running the engine with a heavy dose of the stuff the ticking stopped. I ran the heavily dosed tank of fuel through the engine and haven't heard the noise since...

Yeah, it is really cool. Shoot, I'm even thinking of having my number painted (tastefully) of the rear of the tour pack! Thanks for all the congrats and thank yous, my son and I both are extremely tickled! Bruce IBA 42020

Another excellent thought! You guys are great! Thanks!! Bruce

Yeah, thought about that too. But I'm also wondering if I could have some carbon build up on the valves as well. In the "this is a whole other story" department I just happen to have a case of Yamaha's "Ring Free" fuel additive. Seeing as the price is right I thought I might as well try a...

Hmmm... OK, thanks for the info. That's most definitely not what I'm hearing. Most other Yamaha's I've been around that are shim under bucket style have rarely gotten enough out of adjustment to make much noise at all. My son's '05 FZ6 with over 30K was checked over the winter and found to...

Welllll shoot. I was moving my FJR back into the basement/shop/man cave today and was greeted with a ticking noise upon start up. Last week-end when I parked it it was as quiet as a church mouse, then as soon as I started it today it immediately starts a very noticeable but not horribly loud...

Thanks for the kind words guys, they mean a lot. Vasteve - I've been on part of 42... Between 623 and 16 south of Tazewell. On our first trip to Burke's Garden. When planning the trip using M/S Street & Trips the south end of 623 looked just like the north end, I.E. paved, but looked...

...are up on my blog. Saturday: https://rdytogo.blogspot.com/2010/04/taking...garden-and.html Sunday: https://rdytogo.blogspot.com/2010/04/huntin...-april-4th.html Enjoy! Bruce

This past Monday (March 8th) my son and I completed our first Saddle Sore 1000. This is something we've been wanting to do for literally years and were finally able to not only make the attempt, but got it done. I wrote up a ride report and posted it along with a few pictures on my blog if...

Man, I feel your pain... I was let go from the motorcycle dealership I was at this past October. Same sort of deal, I was one of the highest paid there, money was tight, you know the rest. The timing couldn't have been worse either because the fall and winter are the worse times in the...

Wow! Thanks guys! I'll check all that and see what that does. Although I do like the idea that the bike is telling me it's time to go for a ride... Bruce

Yeah, I've been eyeballin' that thingy too...
