    Should black hex box remain?

    Now that you've read the owner's manual and doesn't resolve your issue, you might further qualify your question to narrow it to a point somebody with a Gen 2 bike might be able to answer. I don't have a Gen 2 or know the answer, so I could only help you get the manual you should have had for...

    Should black hex box remain?

    Sure! I Googled "2006 fjr owners manual" and two or three hits in the first page alone. Download one for your year off of various websites. Or get one free for sure from Yamaha's website. https://web01.yamahamotorsports.com/yamaha-manuals

    Should black hex box remain?

    Did you read starting on section 3-4 of your owner's manual yet?

    General consensus - Should I rebuild calipers on 2013 A at 24k miles?

    I agree.....on both points, but note I only have about 250K on FJRs. If the seals aren't leakin'....I'm not worrying.

    Final Drive Oil Change, Do This

    If first, I agree. Should have been at 600 miles. But the glittery final drive oil is very likely because the factory uses oil that a lot of moly in it. And probably will have some the next time too. It will dissipate. Some shaving on the plug? Not abnormal in my experience the first time...

    Tire sealant? Roadside flat fix

    Wow! You NAILED IT! Good for you. You win FJRForum.com this week. I've had three flats over the years, zero tows because I carried string, blue, and a way to inflate. Only one of them required replacement when I was able to limp to a shop the next morning. However, I personally avoid the...

    I rode my new FJR home from the dealer today - Clunk/rattle!/lower fairing issue?

    Thanks for the follow-up details and so glad it was something relatively small. I think that's a new one we haven't heard before on new bike setup. Usually it's thousands of miles later and the saddlebag locks disappearing because they didn't loctite the threads. ;) Enjoy your NEW bike. :)

    FJR1300 Model Comparison Matrix

    Enjoy the updated comparison matrix...and expect to zoom as we now have 24 columns these days. I remember the old days in 2007 when I had to worry about 5 columns. PM if you think I've messed something up...I'll try to tweak for the next iteration.

    I rode my new FJR home from the dealer today - Clunk/rattle!/lower fairing issue?

    Can you be more specific? Did they replace fasteners that were missing? Did replace broken lower fairing pieces? What exactly was wrong? And to confirm, that was the source of clunking and rattling?

    I rode my new FJR home from the dealer today - Clunk/rattle!/lower fairing issue?

    Admin note: this and the two previous posts were created as a new thread and should have have been a continuation of the existing thread on issues with a new bike. Merged and title tweaked to add the fairing issue. Yes, .those clam-shell halves should be touching each other and the recessed...

    I rode my new FJR home from the dealer today - Clunk/rattle!/lower fairing issue?

    New 2024 FJR with no miles? Doesn't sound normal unless it's brake rotor float. I can't recall for sure, but besides for sure installing the front wheel, I think maybe they torque head bearings and put on the handlebars. Maybe setup was an issue. Also, double-check they loctited the...

    I'm looking for a diagram showing the "rider triangle" or "motorcycle triangle" for the FJR.

    I've been with the FJR 19 years and never seen one. That said, I found this one on the first hit: https://letmegooglethat.com/?q=motorycycle+rider+triangle+comparison

    Wiring for Trickle Charger and Auxiliary Power

    Pretty basic. Get an SAE plug that something like a battery tender uses and wire to the two leads of the battery that's under the right side of the fairing. If you want to run the line to under the seat, you could. Most just leave a little length hanging. I'd look a the various mode pages at...

    2009 Gen2 died while riding to work - frustrating and I need some advise please

    I'd look through the various FJRF009.x threads pinned and linked here.

    What's that old website where people submit their highest mileage motorcycles?

    The one I remember was HMarc's....the owner of the site had an early 2003 and early contributor here.. Refound quickly by Googling FJR VIN. http://www.micapeak.com/reg/bikes/

    Aux Fusebox location

    As with all these myriad custom solutions, it depends on you doing the fitting, fiddling, coaxing and hopefully not forcing. Does the 2020 electronics box take up the whole space? Are the dimensions of your particular fuse block smaller than that space including the option to run wires...

    Spider issues on 2003?

    Not a spider specifically, but ignition switches on the 2003 sometimes also have issues.

    Windscreen shimming

    Oops. I meant to say V-Stream. N20308 was right for me and the N20309 was floppy.
