Ross is right. You will need to remove this plate: Once the plate is off you want to clean and lube the pivot indicated in red. The washer pointed to by the red arrow is a wave washer, you don't want the pivot to screw down so tight that the wave washer is flattened, it will cause the...

Given that they break, people then ride with them for thousands of miles broken like that with no problems it looks like it just needs to be make with one flange It appears that the part could use a stress relieving process.

I'd just dye to know what you are thinking ;)

^^^^^^ So, at the next EOM are you going to bring your specialty tools and run a shock Clevis X-Ray clinic? :)

I think youse guys are going to cost me some more accessory money. Dear Santa ---

Ohhh, digital filtering!

Depending on how hot the day was and how long I had been sitting on my '04 the electrical system could measure anyplace from 13.4 to 12.6(!) volts when the fans turned on at traffic lights or during a protracted sit at a stop sign. Even when my '04 was new the voltage would drop to 13.4 to 13.6...

Let's take a lesson from the windshield that has a little curvature to it. Let's go out of the garage on that sunny 70° day and let me use a magnifying glass over that sensitive area and see if it can get hotter'n 70°.

Reader's Digest Condensed version: Pull the DC output connector off the R/R. With the engine at idle measure a minimum of 13.8 volts to a maximum of 15.8 volts. If your FJR passes this charging system test, replace your 9 year old battery. If the voltage is still low at the new battery...

The signal from the O2 sensor is very small and has to change in a very particular way to be seen as valid. It isn't unheard of for water to cause the sensor to pop an error code in the wet. The sensor must also be at a certain temperature to send a valid signal and perhaps all the water kept...

Dave may have been picking up some new machine shop equipment to help make more WynPro products :) Then again, Hillview Motorsports does (did?) have a new '15 A model for $9,979........

At EOM Fred W and I were comparing our T's & S'es and not for the first time we had very divergent observations. I had commented to Fred that when we are riding together I have to keep my FJR in the S mode because every situation where my FJR is in the T mode and there is heavy throttle action...

The clock can be off by a few minutes but not off by hours. If the clock is this far off it means that main power has dipped too low or has been interrupted causing the clock to reset. You need to check Coupler 2 -- Front Cowling Harness. It is an 8 pin, rectangular connector which is fully...

I believe the difference is a typo, someone got the two specs reversed. That would be a wicked change if it were true.

Take a close look at both photos. Apparently Yamaha just Photoshopped from the '16 color into the '17 monochrome except for the little chromeie bit up front and the chrome cummerbund around the base of the gas tank. Everything from the '16 model carries over to the '17 model without change...

As one reference point, my '15 is pretty well balanced up to ~5k rpm. Much, much better than my '04 was without major intervention.

The wave washer is intended to keep the shift lever from moving in & out yet keep the pivot moving freely.

^^^^^^^ The post Bluesies mentions is here.
