If it were mine I would use some epoxy to hold a new spring nut to the inner panel.

Yes there was an issue with the instantaneous MPG readout constantly ready 17 MPG. Yamaha had to replace the entire cluster. Very common on that year FJR. There should be a sticker under the glove box lid stating the mileage before replacement. You should read the bin-of-facts listed on this...

I'm not one to make a habit of post resurrection. However, I thought this would be good info to share since this wrench is hard to find. I hope it helps someone out.

Your son will have some stories to tell for sure. He'll get a Humanitarian Assistance Medal out of this too.

Let us know how you like it after a long day in the saddle. I'm still trying to decide which way to go on a seat.

Most of us aren't MacGyver :lol:

Another good source for the steering ring nut spanner wrench here. Yamaha YU-33975

Hey Spud, How is it going? Tried sending you a PM but your over the size limit or something. Hope all is well. Hope we can get together and ride this summer. oh..and Flea bay sucks

Just installed mine last night finally, Excellent fit and finish!

I tried removing the compression valve (thought it twisted out, however the flats on the compression valve started to mar up and the brass nut on the cartridge was about to give as well so I gave up. I don't have a torch. Is it a press fit or threaded? Thanks for the help! I'd be interested in...

While rebuilding my forks I was installing the bottom bolt to spec for the damper rod assembly and the female threads of the damper rod sheared. Please help, this part is the most expensive part of the fork assy and is backordered most places.

Congrats for finding such a beautiful Gen I. I'm happy that Yamaha has done very little changes to the FJR. Change for change sake is never good. Why mess with a good thing? Anyway, I rest easy knowing that God forbid anything should happen to my '08 I'll have plenty of gently used FJRs waiting...

I predict Kawi has hit a home run with this bike. I like it

Mine still buzzes above 80 MPH and I don't baby it, but I can say that it is smoother than now with 25K than it used to be. I have grip puppies and never have an issue. It's funny that somedays my KTM Super Duke makes my right hand numb to the point I can't take it and other days I have no...

I have a Kool aid mustache now. I will wait to see what kind of problems develop in the first year and capitalize on any second year production improvements.

Very entertaining and epic ride report. Thanks for sharing. It is my goal to keep the FJR and someday add an Ultra to the stable. I sometimes miss the Street Glide I once owned, but like you said the H-D is down on power and that got to me after awhile. I also agree that there is something...

Sucks bro, Glad you're okay.

I'm currently trying the salvage yard request through Mrcycleparts and so far I've had one call back, but the unit was broken. They are hard to find. Mine is cracked to hell and I hate to pay 400 bones for a new one.

more praise for the carbtune. I've owned the motionpro wth the blue liquid and it worked well once or twice but after I moved to Utah it was cluttered with air bubbles I couldn't get out no matter what I did. Carbtune This is a nice tool that will last

I've been lucky I guess but with 8 oils changes and factory washers=no leaks
