You're assuming all dealership are yahoos...and they're not. Here's how it went for me when I was in to put a set of tires on rims I brought: Me: Can you check on front brake switch recall on my FJR? Here's the VIN. Dealer: Yeah, it's under recall. We'll have the part in next week. Let's...

I remember descending down that slope for the first time.....nobody around and surreal open space. Great ride and drive!

Try Dave Moss FJR in Google. First hit.

Hint: 2016+ are 6 speed

To chime in here Lou D: Skooterg knows of what he speaks of. Seriously, he really does.

Only two seat types. Gen 1 is one type and Gen 2-current is the other type. I tried to make it show as blue vs. green in the "Seat" line, but I'll think about making it more clear in the next update.

It sounds like 101stpathfinder, Torchsport, and MNFJR Pilot are volunteering to be the committee to check with CraigRegs via PM....and then make it happen.

Since 2011 they moved the IBR start to the end of June. I had to make a choice of running the Utah 1088 or the IBR. That one I did the Utah 1088....and Chalmers sent us to the IBR starting line in New York as a huge bonus. Some confused looks by people at the starting line in Buffalo as I...

I agree with Panman. Have you taken it apart and confirmed what has actually stripped?

The front subframe on Gen 1's is, fortunately, mild steel and bends a bit instead of snapping. I never pulled out a laser to verify, but I know after I dropped my '05 once that things were...just...a....bit....off. If it REALLY drives you nuts, you'd have to pull off the nose, subframe, figure...

I wouldn't project any of those points, no. I would, however, reiterate my last post with emphasis on riding more and stressing less. P.S. About half my DNA is from your area of the country before they got antsy and jumped the pond about 300 years ago. ;)

Yamaha engineers are smart I think Yamaha engineers are smart folks, buy what they recommend, change your oil once in while, ride more, and stress less. OR, go back on the forum and read the many, Many, MANY, MANY threads on the various subjects of filters, oils, and enchanted spells on the...

Actually, I did a full write-up in this thread!

String and 12v inflator. Both from Walmart. Used three different times on two FJRs over the years....although the first one I used a mushroom plug system that I never liked much. I'm a patch and ride to tire end kind of person...as long as it holds, tire carcass isn't damaged too much, not the...

Another user that's only post is to sell something, vague in responses, and used the same IP address as another suspect person. Caveat emptor people.

I've had several reports of non-response with the OP about their thing for sale, but nobody has said first-hand they were scammed or attempted to be scammed. Combine this with the question posted about shadiness of pulling pictures from other forums.....and another reason I have on the...

There was before the forum moved over, but seems to have evaporated. I believe the old way was a sub-forum header or summary at the top when you'd click on the Technical and Mechanical problems. I went to look on the admin side to see if it was still there, but couldn't find it and think I have...

Not aware of any videos or recall somebody doing a thread in the past on this particular bit. Maybe try buying a service manual to diagnose your issue. I recall a "checking the switches" section in the Gen 1 manual. And while I haven't had a Gen 3 all apart, I have had the entire look out on...

Concur. Unless some previous owner upgraded to LEDs....the Gen 1 are 100% incandescent.

Nothing I've considered enough for my '14. I remain getting extra photons from auxiliary lights.
