I am looking for a good place to buy a set of Staintune's for my 05. I recall seeing a couple of good deals a year or so ago. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks Archer

My co-worker just bought a Concours 14 and I had spin on it yesterday. Initial impressions were that it was not as quick as the FJR; it felt like it had a lot of flywheel. Of course, I only ran it up to 10,000 rpm once since he is still breaking it in. Very smooth, nice riding position, lots...

Very interesting stuff... I'm a bit surprised Hopkins is willing to go to Kawi; behind the Tech 3 Yamahas and Roberts, they are they slowest bikes on the grid. Sounds like money talks though. I would bet also that Monster has a lot to do with it as they sponser him personally and have a bit...

Hi v65, another38 year young rider here. I love the bike; many of my buddies are older and ride BMW's- the latest fetish/sickness is the GS Adventure. They can never keep up though... Archer

Just finished watching the Assen TT on DVR and was stoked to see Nicky back in good form! Did anyone see that supermoto style, rear slide pass he made on Hopkins early in the race?!?! That is why he is so fun to watch. Rossi was a miracle worker in that one; proves again he is the best rider...

Interesting thought on not getting torqued right from the dealer. The bike only has 7000 miles on it and it has not changed at all since new across now the third set of tires. What is the correct torque setting? Archer

I have had a slight head shake (with hands off bars) at 50 MPH since I bought the bike new. I assumed it was due to the stock Bridgestones but when I changed to Conti Road Attacks, it stayed exactly the same. I have since mounted Pilot Roads and it is still the same. No other speeds and only...

I'm definitely interested in how this works out. I never understood why Yamaha didn't give it a 6th; it has the torque to simply loaf along at 100+. Archer

I've got the Throttlemeister (heavy) on mine and they work great. I think they helped a bit with vibes also. https://www.throttlemeister.com/FTAYR1.html Archer

Hi All, I have 2 extra "Laguna Club" tickets for the upcoming GP that I am willing to sell. Here is the description: Laguna Club - Turn 11 Grandstand Seat - Motorcycle Parking - MUST call ticket office for availability Canopied tent with closed-circuit TV (open Sat/Sun). Includes 3-Day...

I saw a Yosh full system on an 06 at Sears Point last month. It looked and sounded excellent. I did not know Yosh was making a system for the FJR. Anyone have one of those? Archer

Thanks Gents, I appreciate everyone's input, it makes a huge difference in getting farkles that work right. I do like the look of Skyway's mount. I also like his price. I don't plan on mounting too much stuff, maybe just the RD and an XM Radio. My idea (crude at that) for powering these is...

Anyone have a source/experience with a mounting perch for the clutch master cylinder? I want to mount a Passport detector. Also, any suggestions on wireing the power source? Thanks Dave

Hi All, I'm not sure if this is frowned upon here but I have 2 extra "Laguna Club" tickets for the upcoming GP that I am willing to sell. Here is the description: Laguna Club - Turn 11 Grandstand Seat - Motorcycle Parking - MUST call ticket office for availability Canopied tent with...

Thanks v65; everything I ever wanted to know (and much that I didn't) was here. I think my tick is normal at this point. I just need to crank on more miles and see what happens. Archer

Does anyone know if Yamaha will cover this without the YES? My bike is now over 2 years old. Also, what is the typical mileage when the tick starts? I only have 6700 on mine ( I know I need to ride more - 2006 was a bad year for riding time ). thanks Archer

Thanks guys, The black Second Look is exactly what I was looking for. I will post a pic when I get it. Thanks Archer

I'm looking for a half-tank bra to save my paint. Anyone purchased one recently? I have an 05. Thanks Archer

Sorry to dredge this topic up again but I cannot seem to find the threads to this issue. Surely they must be here? I have an 05 and have just rolled onto 6700 miles and for the last 1000 or so, the ticking seems to be getting worse although maybe I'm just paranoid. Can someone point me in the...
