Pretty disappointing, isn't it.... I just shook my head when I first examined my 2018 "tool kit" under the seat. Even the little black plastic pouch it comes in is considerable smaller than prior years - it is barely wide enough to accommodate both the screwdriver handle and the 'L' bend in the...

PM sent!

Well, that's a bummer. ... you NEED to see this pics! Here are three of them, at least:

Hard to believe I started this thread almost 1 1/2 months ago... I am staying with it for all the mods I'll do with this new matte blue bike. 15 January 2018 update: getting closer with the new Aux Lamp setup: I decided not to go with any huge lamps, because 1) this bike will never be pressed...

Wait.... what? I am only catching on to this now.... I have never, ever heard of Yamaha doing this before. Are you saying that Yamaha UK is offering (ABS-models only?) FJR1300 WITHOUT their matching hard bags?! Are they considered an "option" in Europe, then? Logistically, I can see how...

At the risk causing controversy.... I contend that this "Patellar Clunk Syndrome" and the "clicking" under discussion is NOT one and the same. Patellar Clunk Syndrome presents itself with pain associated with the movement. Patellar Clunk Syndrome is a real "thing", no question. But that's not...

That's an interesting pic of the 2018 on page one... it it's accurate, It appears they are still offering Europe a silver frame. Every North American 2018 FJRs - both ABS and ES models - have an all-black from, right down to the triple-tree and handlebars: The page one pic does suggest...

Really discouraging that the surgeon would just openly lie about this. The clicking will NOT go away over time. I started noticing the clicking by Day Two of walking. Only one click per step (when putting weight on that leg). Within a week, it was two clicks per *step*.... a 'click' when...

This is actually pretty common. I reached 120 degree flexation fairly quickly - after a few weeks - but is was just over 2 months before I could reach 180 degrees extension. Well.... he is essentially correct. Almost three years since surgery now, and my clicking is still a source of...

Check your PMs.

They are the brand new LX3 lamps from LEDRider.com. They are significantly more bright than the LX4 lamps we've been using for quite a while, but they are only slightly larger, and just a pinch heavier. This photo makes them look huge, but they are only a 2.3" diameter: Well, that's pretty...

The brotherly love in this thread has almost moved me to tears. Almost.

Yeah, 3 amps, okay, whatever. I've never really checked it since I only use it for signal voltage for relays. Fortunately, that's more than plenty for the Garmin. And, truth be told.... I don't even use the Garmin that much anymore. More than anything else, it's used as a mile countdown unit.

That 2-wire glove-box circuit has proven itself to be extremely useful. Just not in the way Yamaha intended. Once the dash pieces are removed, you can see the glove-box circuit has a nice easy-to-disconnect connector approximately 6" away from the glove box. So I snip the wires ~ 2" away from...

Old School 12v power.... Some of you crusty elder forum members may recall these tiny yet powerful Bosch 30-amp heavy-duty relays from a HID Group Buy we did over a decade ago. These tiny little buggers are awesome for moto application, where space is at a premium. This relay feeds the power...

The 2018 FJR, like every FJR1300 model year, does not have a TPMS, no.

Done! RIP, Bearly Flying..... damnation.

You are correct. The PMR switches will NOT work on the FJR. The fastener holes for our handlebar clamps are OFFSET, not in-line like pretty much every other motorcycle on the planet. In the meantime, Don, there is a massive amount of spare room under the GenIII/IV left dash piece and adjacent...

The latter. They've always been lame mosquito squeaks.

As I go about the discovery process of learning this new Gen IV bike, I'll post new items in this thread to help keep it all in one place. Other 2016 model year (and later) owners may have already seen these discoveries, still, I'll post up just to add to the overall FJR Collective knowledge...
