    FJR1300 - GEN 4 - 3 Pin Head Light Bulb

    You posted that you have a 2016 FJR? Assuming so, the 2016 Gen 4 year started with a "new LED headlight system and LED tail light design". So, no, it's not an old-fashioned H4 halogen bulb. I believe it's proprietary and sealed. Many Gen 1 to Gen 3 owners with the H4 halogen bulbs have...

    Cannot find procedure for Gen 1 barbarian jumper mod….please help!

    It was according to the Yamaha website as I observed during those periods new FJRs were posted on the website. I tended to do it the month the model was announced. I did my best to record the amounts, focus on the deltas and recall forum discussion on the method of recording weight in 2006...

    Cannot find procedure for Gen 1 barbarian jumper mod….please help!

    I don't recall the procedure ever being actually posted here. Did you find that the original article was on micapeak and that website no longer exists? Try the Internet Wayback Machine and lookup http://www.micapeak.com/bike/FJR1300/howto/jumper.html from 2005 or so.

    Anything about the 2008?

    Talked about a variety of times in different context. Try searching on cam chain tensioner to see.

    Does anyone ride between 6-7k rpm's?

    Me too! And I wasn't joking on that particular run...I just obliquely refer to it to remain plausible deniability of having done something seriously insane on the FJR that one 23 hours and 57 minute day in 2015. In the LD world the FJR has an RPM range than can easily produce a "Higdon...

    Does anyone ride between 6-7k rpm's?

    I wasn't able to contrast mpg in 4th at 9100 versus 5th at 7500, but imagine mpg for that bit was pretty crappy. I just know FJR nominal speeds in the late afternoon when there's a lot of convective turbulence and buffeting, you get only 23.5 mpg. I burned up the full stock tank plus and...

    Does anyone ride between 6-7k rpm's?

    And as I noted, it was outside the sweet spot. It's a tongue-in-cheek way of still affirming the FJR has a very wide sweet spot and you have run above red line for 15-20 minutes before the yellow "check engine" light turns on and you're not in it.

    Does anyone ride between 6-7k rpm's?

    Not 6-7, but 7-8, yes. Many, many hours of it. It runs well in that range. I accidentally left it in 4th one at 9000-9100 for 15-20 minutes in Nevada and eventually a yellow light comes on....which is outside the sweet spot. After you shift back to 5th gear the light goes off and it's back...

    How can I efficiently convert a PDF to a Word document online?

    Great question. And you don't see it, but there's the person with one post asking the question and another person right after that freshly registered offering a link online to answer their question that Bounce bounced early today. This is the most sophisticated spam I've seen so far. Closing...

    Gen2 lower outer fork tube

    Monitor eBay and setup a standing search. You might get lucky. Or maybe monitor Facebook Marketplace and find a parting-out type bike. Tubes are one of the more typical items that are hard to find as a platform ages and they're not technically wear items, but sometimes score enough to need...

    Gen 3 dash - Last Call

    There isn't one yet. This is sort of a potential "group buy" thread. If f you're interested to e-mail the potential manufactuer. If he gets enough interest, a price and details will be set.

    Tall Rider & Wind Buffeting? - 2nd Gen

    Same personal specs. Yes x 3. About eye level with my V-Stream N20308 when fully extended x 2. I fist tried the N20309, but it was too floppy in turbulent winds. The N20308 has been the perfect shield for me after having tried several others, but not all of them. .

    Cracks in the Aft SubFrame

    That's the subframe, not the frame. Tweaked your title as admin. That said, it's happened to a bunch of us including me on a Gen 1. Remove it, weld it, fix whatever you did to overstress it, maybe add a gusset here in there. ....Or, we'll see how your McGyver design works. Looks stout certainly.

    The best year for the FJR1300

    20xx is the best. But avoid 20yy at all cost...they suck.

    Do I have an Electrical problem?

    Odd. I did a a search on "10v" and find a gamut of contrary to kinda vague to totally unrelated. Even less likely with "10v cranking" I did find one site that cites 9.6 in a load test for lead-acid, but I'm not sure I'd hang my hat on it. I'd still go more old-school and if the starter's...
