    Need GPS to replace 2597LMT

    I have a Garmin 2597LMT that worked perfectly for me until a fall in the car tugged the USB charging plug off the circuit board. An attempt to resolder a new plug failed. SO.... that leaves me looking for a new GPS. I still have all the accessories and ram mount for the 2597, but since I'm...

    BMR 2018 is cranking up!

    Wow. I've been reading the BMR docs online and I'm going to have LOT of questions. Is this the right place to post questions? Are the bonus locations already posted here? Or are these just examples, and the real ones will come out on 1/1? If these are the real listings, does that mean...

    BMR 2018 is cranking up!

    Uncle Hud, I have some newbie questions. I've never participated in a rally but I have always wanted to. Is the BMR appropriate for a beginner rally participant (but long time rider)? I checked the BMR site and FB page but couldn't figure out if the BMR covers a particular region, or if it's...

    Yamaha OEM Slider Rip-Off

    I really like your air wings. Is that a custom fit? I don't remember them being available as a bolt-on item for the FJR.

    50CC

    Thanks for posting this question to the forum. I'm having the same questions, as I plan to do the 50CC in 2019. I would also appreciate hearing about good stopping points, hotels, eateries, etc.

    Bleeding the clutch fluid ‘06AE due to a sh-16 fault

    Bleeding isn't hard. I've done it several times. And as said before, you don't need to remove the swingarm. Turning the ignition on and off does work to cycle the clutch. Also, check these two things before you start making changes or bleeding the system. 1. Is there still fluid in the...

    dct. vs AE Is it worth the new technolgy.

    I love my '07 AE. Unfortunately there's just no way to describe the YCCS shifting experience without riding one. You need to find one you can test ride.

    Bleeding the clutch fluid ‘06AE due to a sh-16 fault

    I'm not familiar with the location of the "Clutch Release Cylinder". Where is that located, and have you fixed that leak yet, so you won't lose all the new fluid after bleeding?

    "New" 2009 AE Questions

    +1 the price is too high. How can they sell a bike with 1500 miles as "new"? 1500 miles is not new. I love my AE, but for that price you could get a much newer bike.

    Looking for Fairing Stripe Kit for 2006 FJR1300

    Is this what you're after? $27.50 on ebay. I like the look of these. I've been considering one for a long time. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Yamaha-FJR-1300-Fairing-Decal-/142033622249?var=&hash=item2111dd14e9:m:mzSJIjGElAQ3KRiHno3_wSQ&vxp=mtr Edit: Oops! I see the link above mine goes to the...

    R.I.P. Ellie.... 😞

    Sorry for your loss. I understand your pain, as I had to put down my best friend of 10.5 years just two weeks ago. That black lab was the best (and best trained) dog I've ever had. I miss her too.

    VStream windshield lowered, with wedges (gen lll)

    I've seen kitchen cutting boards that resemble that wedge material, but might not be as thick.

    My new toy. Quicker than the FJR?

    Great bike!!! I bought a XR650L new in 2000 and I still have it 17 years later. I love that bike! It goes anywhere and everywhere I want to go.

    missing rear axle pinch bolt

    I went to change my rear tire and noticed my rear axle pinch bolt is missing. Not sure how long it's been gone. Can anyone tell me what the pinch bolt dimensions are, so I can get a local replacement? Judging by some spare odd bolts on hand, it seems like a 8MX20 but I'm not sure of the...
