I have an old, sun faded Nelson Rigg Day Runner backrest bag. I just strap it down to the rear seat when traveling, even when nearly empty, just to take up the space between me and the top case for smoother handling. I'm sure they have plenty of other options. And believe me when I say- go to...

I thought at first he must be toying with the troopers but realized he is not a good rider. How else is he not simply walking away? Fear of speed?

It's not a "fairing" modification, it's a "panel" modification. AFAIK all the original, premodified '13 parts and '14 parts are identical. The parts fiches (fischii?) for the two models show the same part #'s for the front dash cover, the glove box, left cover, etc. Later '13 models came...

1st post of this thread -> https://www.fjrforum.com/threads/my-spider-bite-story.170085/ describes my symptoms, some of yours match.

First I'd get the Yamaha aluminum rack to directly replace the factory one. That'll ease your mind about the overloading unless you stick a child back there and still keep the PL backrest. Once the backrest is set, the big knob can be replaced with a sleeker bolt, like a button head cap screw...

I've found on my '13 to A) let it drop out of high idle by starting then donning gear, and B) rev slighly to about 1700 rpm. It snicks into 1st without the big clunk.

Dibs on the Zumo lock! PM sent.

I've contemplated geting a battery one but I've just not had any luck with electronics stored on the bike. Vibrations have killed my AntiGravity jump pack and several LED flashlights. 2 LED bulbs had to be glued back together in my truck. They still worked but literally just fell apart into...

Thanks for posting what you found.

You may be right, I haven't looked at one in a long time. I remember seeing a picture showing right where it's at.

The license plate LED bulb I used, again from Auto Zone, etc.

Did you ever say specifically what model year you got? To me the pic looks like an '08. If so, I'm thinking you need to take a breath and slow down with the typing. For instance- Idle adjustment on Gen2 is accessible without removing the fuel tank. You have to be very careful about the model...

I haven't seen that problem, but mine is a '13. The light controls are a little different. Buy an extra! Twice I've been on a trip far from home and had rear bulbs burn out. That's why I used the red LED I did- available at Auto Zone, Advance Auto, O'Reilly's and more. There's always one...

My post on another forum for run/brake lights: Plus, always wanted rear LED bulbs to replace the anemic incandescents. Stumbled across these in a post somewhere. Tying a string to the front brake lever and going back about 30 yds I can see they're about 20% brighter with good dispersion...

I was gonna say the same thing. Next tool for the toolbox could be a thin chisel, the metal working kind. A quick rap or two to notch the head and you can sometimes tighten up the hole enough for the wrench to work. Or you can use said notches to tap the screw head CCW to loosen it. 1...

Several answers you are looking for are in the owners manual

From some of what I've read, no they don't. For either case. Examples, all direct quotes: Recalls have no expiration date. However after 8 years from the original sale date of the vehicle you may be required to pay if you wish to have the recalled part or parts replaced or corrected. If you...

Sent you a PM.

You will likely get a more accurate answer by calling dealerships than you will by asking here. If they don't give you the answer you want, look in your owners manual for the Yamaha regional phone number and call them.
