Thank you everyone for your suggestions and recommendations! I'm leaving in the AM and have updated post 1 with my currently planned routes. The return from UT is still unknown. Cheers!

I might have been too critical of the seat pan flex. The Sargent pan definitely isn't as stiff as the stock pan, but doesn't flex enough to bottom out on the subframe or my electronics below the seat. It flexes enough to open a small gap between the front and read section. I attached a length of...

I'm off to Karns tomorrow get a custom tune! @Randy, check your PM.

@Wee Willy - Thanks! Turns out we both came to the same route into the LA area. I've done the Sedona thing, not on a motorcycle but in a 4x4 across the forest roads. Juniper trees for miles!! I do like you Rt-66 leg, and plan to incorporate it. Thanks again. @High Desert Rat - I like the idea...

Tough call. If you have good roads at home and can get a fun day of riding WITH the PCIII it might be worth it. I am a new PCIII user and was blown away by the improvement. I've been running the Power Commander map or UslessPickles GenII calculated map. All that said, stay out and enjoy...

Info sent.

@FJRay - Very gracious of you. Thank you so much for the offer. So, Yamaha denied my claim via my local dealer. I called them, pitched my side of the argument, which I'll spare you, Yamaha held firm. The most shocking part of the conversation was when I was told that the threads on the caliper...

I purchased Y.E.S and am in the process of claiming a defective rear caliper Stripped Caliper Thread Y.E.S. is a gamble like all warranties and service plans. I bought it for peace of mind as I take several multi-day rides per year. I think the effectiveness of Y.E.S. is really Dealer dependent...

Took my bike to a local Dealer this morning to talk to the Service manager. I had to debated a few issues before they agreed to phone Yamaha: 1. Since I did the work it isn't coverd. Wrong Y.E.S allows the owner to perform their own maintenance. You must keep records and receipts. Which I...

Easy guys, don't get the wrong idea! My safety is my primary concern. I was just putting a little spin on how Yamaha's response could be interpreted. Regarding owner error, this is NOT rocket-science. Right'y tight'y, lefty loose'y! First time this bolt is ever removed it pulls half the...

I called the local dealer today to see if this would be covered under the Y.E.S. The Dealer called Yamaha, then called me to say nope! Claiming since I did the work it isn't covered. Dealer claims that if he did the work he could likely win an argument with Yamaha but that they would still put...

Does the Gary sell used parts, because his cost on a rear caliper (3P6-2580W-00-00) is high compared to flatoutmotorcycles.com?

Anyone .... Bueller .. Bueller?

I'm in need of a rear brake caliper for a Gen. II. Ideally with bleed screw and piston still installed. Will pay overnight shipping.

<edit> Sorry I dropped a "p" this is a "Stripped Thread" thread. So, I'm putting on rear brake pads and pulling the rear caliper Slide Pins. These are the large bolts on the rear caliper that allow the caliper to float and not rotate when you mash the brakes. The front Pin was putting up...

@Dan S, I think I'll pass on the adventure riding on my FJR! Some of your other suggestings are looking interesting though. @charismaticmegafuana (you need a shorter screen name!) I agre with you mostly. My use of interstate is to make up time or traveling on full rain days. I'm not mutch for...

Argh!!! All these GREAT suggestions, I can't keep them straight. I need to distill all of this down and see which dots I can connect in the time I have. This is really helpful thanks all, and keep the fresh suggestions coming. Nikk

I recently purchased my second Sargent produce, the first was a seat for my Honda ST1300. The things I'm questioning about my FJR Sargent seat: 1. The seat pan feels very flexible compared to my ST1300 product and the stock seat pan. This is a difficult thing to quantify in a post. With the...

shokdimn - I justed added Ten Sleep to my route, and to answer your question I'm leaving Aug. 29th.

Roadsmarts at a price better than SW Moto, please.
