    2006 Altitude recall question on my new to me FJR

    I see several on Ebay, they all say fit 06 or 07's. They are even in a Yamaha parts box. My thoughts are they were the ecu removed under the campaign. So chances I would be buying a ECU just like the one I have. I was told by 2 different dealer that campaign was closed and no loner available...

    It's been a long time since I did this...

    I put a Rosta on the Tenere I had. What a pain in the butt it was.I had several guys wanting me to do a install on there bikes.. On my bike it was worth the time. But it worked, but far from perfect.The FJR is a cake walk compared to the S 10. Being color blind doesn't help, and cutting into the...

    2006 Altitude recall question on my new to me FJR

    I was reading the service bulletin, and seen the throttle position was the key. As long as you "use" the throttle over 1/4 this should not be a issue. Thanks gent's for your input. As always, you guys are the best.. Smitty

    2006 Altitude recall question on my new to me FJR

    After buying this cream puff with 16,000 miles. Before purchase I did have the local dealer run the VIN to see if any recalls remained. The one they missed was the ECU Altitude fix. Looking at the vin it was in the window of replacement. Here in Missouri we are at a whopping 600 feet above sea...

    It's been a long time since I did this...

    I think the Vacuum unit is a bit less complicated to install. Less wiring, plus the servo unit is simply smaller. I never installed a Rostra on a FJR but on a Super Tenere and a Vstrom it was very jerky when setting and would not hold speed well. I did play with the settings, But was never...

    It's been a long time since I did this...

    Installed a Audiovox clone on my new to me 2006 FJR this morning. Back in the glory day's of cruise control, I could do one in less than 3 hours. It was over 5 hours to get this installed under the tank today. I always find it funny how much a guy can forget after a few years not doing...

    Ordered a Audiovox clone cruise control, and some other parts the other day from Murph's Kits. I will install on my 06 FJR. I also talked with him on the phone. Super fast shipping, great guy. He told me he would love to service the FJR crowd.. Smitty https://www.murphskits.com/

    Any ground spider failures with a replacement main harness?

    After a fail spider connection and a full factory main wire harness replacement... Has anyone ever had another ground spider connection failure??? Just wondering if it is even necessary for me to do any extra grounding since my main harness has been replaced. If there is a thread or poll on...

    2006 Ground spider repair question?

    I thought about just ordering the connectors from Eastern Beaver and make a spider harness. On my other 06 I cut all the spiders off and soldered the wires together. This was before the factory recall. I know I don't want to cut off the connectors on a new harness. But I don't want to be...

    2006 Ground spider repair question?

    Hi guy's, I have been out of the loop for awhile. I just bought a 2006 with 16,000 miles. I preparation to install a electronic cruise (it's been awhile since i did that) I was looking over all the ground spiders. I was bitten on my other 2006 model, and don't want a issue later. After running...

    Wanted.. my 8th FJR..Sorry.. my 9th, I forgot one...

    Not sure about the seat. It has Tobin Seats on a tag on the underside. A quick Google search they are in S.C. A short ride today and it wasn't bad. Going on a 400 mile ride tomorrow, that should be a good test. If your interested in it Skip, I will make you a deal!! That Skooter is a real wise...
