Its 121 today in Havasu. The Low was 97. I went to fire my bike up early this morning. Within 10 seconds I saw the first bar on the water temp gauge. Its pool time man!

My son works for the local Yamaha shop. They have been in business for 35 years. And sales are off but they are surviving. The simple solution to increase business is to buy new bikes. I am always looked for reasons by a new bike. If this is not a good one I do not know what is. I seem to feel a...

Way pull the drain plug? I just remove the fill cap and flip the bike up side down until all the oil comes out. It saves on having to spend the money on a drain plug crush washer. Its proven tested, its what the instruction said to do with my cheap Chinese power washer I bought at Walmart !

They should have used a Gen 1 FJR in the comparison. It would have won!

107, that is spring time weather in Havasu. But its a dry heat. I can remember riding when it was 120 plus one time. God that was stupid. When I ride down the highway normally the water temp reads a cool two bars. That day it was always at three bars the whole time. It felt like a jet engine...

I think the simple way to view the Gen 1 versus Gen 2 Sport Tour is. Gen 1 was more sport than tour. Gen 2 more tour than sport. But I also think this is hair splitting!

Another good reason why I would not want an intercom. Still like the piece and quite. My ride gives me good thinking time. I have spent enough time on the phone and other communications devices enough in my life. When my kids were young we used to put movies on in the R.V. to put then...

I hope they don't make the exhaust or fairing look like that. If they change the exhaust it would be interesting to tuck it under the rear like a Duke or Aprilla. And make a simple clean looking one piece for each side fairing. One that can easily be removed with stainless steel fastener to make...

Yes my wife falls asleep. I can feel the bike list to one side then twitch back fast when she wakes up. She enjoys riding. After about 4 to 5 hundred miles she starts telling me to look for a hotel with a spa in the room. I have stayed away from any communication systems in my helmet because I...

One other important comparison,. LOOKS. Hands down the FJR is a much better looking bike.

I would like to see tests and or reviews on Gen 1 versus Gen 2 FJR's. I bet almost all of you would peel that one open!

After reading how many miles all you dudes have on your bikes I plan going on a 3 year sabbatical, ride around the earth 3 or 4 times and catch up!

I always have a new crush washer on hand when I do a oil change. I buy then 10 or 20 at a time. What I do is tighten the drain plug ever so gently with a quarter inch socket wrench just until I feel the crush washer crush, thats it!!. While I am their I change the rear end oil. Its almost to...

Whats fun is to stand on your seat with the cruise on. But you have to put the shield up or bugs will hit you in the nuts. "Look mom know hands. Look mom know feet. Look mom know teeth. I would not recommend doing it but I have!!

I am on my second battery on my 05. First one was Ok but the peace of mind is worth it when I am traveling through Burnt Scrotum New Mexico. Tires with tread on then are things I like to ride on to. I am amazed at the bikes I have seen out in the middle of know were with fryed tires and other...

Ive owned a 05 sense new. Love it. Best bike I have ever owned. Never an issue Flawless ride and lots of fun! You are buying the fastest and best of the bunch! Have fun!!!!

One other question what kind of rough cost for the forks and shock???

Thanks for the info I am heading in that direction!!

I wonder how many miles it would take on your bike for Yamahaha to give you a new one. And did you get 292 mile out of that tank??? 222,222 miles! what kind of oil do you use!

Now all we have to do is deactivate all Local, State, and federal government agencies. Just think what life would be without all that crap! To answer my own question it was none a long long time ago as FREEDOM!
