    Cautionary Tales about Seth Laam!

    In my opening post I was casual when I said 'mid summer. I called Russell 4 months in advance of EOM. I called Seth >3 months in advance and he has had my seat pans since July.

    Cautionary Tales about Seth Laam!

    Well, ionbeam steps up and touches the third rail, time to dance with the devil. Mid summer I called Russell to schedule seats in well in advance of EOM. Laughter on the other end of the phone, you want them done WHEN? Listen (stupid) this is the summer, our busy season, how about October or...

    Swapping Stator Cover Problems

    3/8"? My set is 3/8" drive, I also have a set of hex bits like that too. These are some of my common 'go to' tools when working on the FJR. I have a confession, I'm a tool junkie, I have been acquiring tools for the last 45 years. I have a habit of going for the good stuff which fits well...

    2016 ES check engine light

    Hey, **** like this comes as part of the OBD II system. In one of the categories under Emissions Control systems, these are some of the codes that can be popped and stored due to the Air Injection System: DTC Codes - P0400-P0499 - Auxiliary Emissions Controls P0412 Secondary Air Injection...

    Swapping Stator Cover Problems

    I used an impact driver to remove the LARGE Phillips screw that retained the stator wire bracket on my Gen 1. For everything else there was my pneumatic impact wrench. BRRRRTTTT -- whizzzzz and the bolts just flew out. The bracket was just slightly bent during assembly at Yamaha and just...

    Swapping Stator Cover Problems

    Just out of curiosity I watched snippets of the video. I've done that job several times, there is a lot I do different, I kinda wonder how that job is going to turn out. I see a good chance for a scored rotor and oil leaks out the stator wire grommet. What I do want to caution about is your...

    Corbin All Day Seat Mod

    If you allow the normal progression, as your post count goes up your Member Title will automatically progress from Training Pilot through several levels to FJR Commander. The number of posts Forumites achieve does not equate to either credibility or competency. Some people intervene and simply...

    Gen III Datel

    Unless you have a real reason to have a volt meter I'd let it go. Unlike the previous Gens there is very little space behind any of the instrument panels. There is a lot of space under the right side panel from the battery back toward the seat and some space under the panels in front of the...

    Is there a place you can pull the RPM's from, electronically? Gen 3?

    The '13 to '15 can data log including RPM. The Diagnostic Tool P/N 90890-03216 retails for only $591 and with some shopping can be found for a scant $490. You get the manual, a Yamaha cable to connect the diagnostic port at the ECU to a laptop and a CD with the software. With the Tool you can...

    Is there a place you can pull the RPM's from, electronically? Gen 3?

    Your suspicions are are totally confirmed The ECU sends RPM information to the meter assembly via serial communications, there is no simple way to pull out the information. The decoded RPM value is used to drive a stepper motor so there is no simple way to tap the signal there either. Mahaps...

    The ONE Picture Ride Report

    NERDS at Stowe VT. Almost all rides either start by going north through Smugglers Notch letting you know it's going to be a fine day of riding or returns through Smugglers Notch letting you know it has been a fine day of riding. If you are unlucky enough to return to Stowe from the southern...

    Gen. 2 Aux. Tank Mount Build

    IBA limits total fuel to 11.5 gallons so 11.5 - 6.6 = 4.9 gallons. Unless Step makes the tank bigger and uses fuel displacements in the tank. Waiting for Tony's answer.

    fyi: bike bandit tire sale

    There was a thread going about Bike Bandit and Jake Wilson but the admins deleted almost all the meaningful content. Too bad, it was relevant about price and service you can expect from some of the low price tire sellers.

    Smokers (BBQ - not grilling)

    Sort of a tangent topic here. Good Pillion had stopped at a high end butcher shop for some very delectable meatie items and there was a guy there giving away samples of the fire starter in the picture; she was given several sample bags. First, I have to say that this fire starter answers the...

    Yamaha Demo Rides, Aug. 26-27

    The Demo team will open up the truck and roll out the bikes, setup a registration area and start processing people in line. You should have at least a helmet with you, your riding gear if you want. They will find out what bikes you want to ride, look at your license and may ask how long you...

    Do I Have a Spider Problem?

    Since the temp reads correctly the fault isn't the connector I was talking about, so never mind. It looks like you are still chasing ground spiders or a ground circuit someplace. If you don't have a key issue right now, you will if you keep fiddling with the key The key switch is made in...

    Do I Have a Spider Problem?

    There are too many independent items not working for it to be the ignition switch, IMO. Usually the kind of oddball light combinations are the result of a bad ground. I do see that a lot of the problem items share a common ground at the meter assembly. This ground comes through non-spider...

    Do I Have a Spider Problem?

    Since this is the OP and their thread: Hmm, I just went to Yamaha's web site and got the '07 owners manual, it let me print the whole manual as well as selected individual pages. Dunno why it doesn't work for you. If you are still having problems printing: * Select PRINT *In the PRINT drop...
