It is a good deal for me because I will ride the Crashcades Hwy over AND back.  Nothing like some reconnaissance before we meet. 😉

I am getting close to getting the '17 FJR all set up. Mostly just adding protective vinyl film. I got the bike back from Texas on March 20th and since then have been a a few day rides but I was looking for more. Northeast Oregon came to mind but I wasn't sure if I would be welcome there just...

I use What's App so if anyone want to do a video walk around shoot me a PM with you phone number.  Please note I updated the mileage to 107,830 - missed it by 1k for some reason.  From the service log showing electric issues addressed by a Yamaha dealer. Voltage regulator, Rectifier and...

Spider recall peformed by a Yamaha dealer and I have a receipt.  Voltage regulator replaced about the same time, aka 12080, miles, by the dealer as well.  What is the R/R connector?  If you mean the Regulator Rectifier connector I have never checked the voltage.

The bike has 107,838 miles. The odometer shows 95749 but this does not include 12,080 miles on the original instrument cluster replaced because the gear indicators were not working. No problems since then. Starting from dead cold. A Youtube video. A YouTube walk around video. Here is...

+1 * 1000.  A look back in history confirms we don't know stuff for a while. 

I have an interest in Eastern Washington Geology especially the Ice Age Floods. So I watch Youtube videos featuring Nick Zentner Professor of Geology at Central Washington University. He is good and could teach geology to an ant. I also bought a couple of books to learn more. The idea is to ride...

Let the farkling begin.  New seat, windshield, a top case, Givi rear rack (adds needed stiffness), Cox Radiator guard, Tankslapper.biz total vinyl film protection kit, front Fenda Extenda, handle bar risers, Canyon Cages, PIAA Slimline horns and auxiliary  lights.  Have fun.  We are good at...

Relay - nah.  My 09 had two wires and I was able use the PIAA 400-500hz slimline sports horns without a relay.

I think we can blame this on Bust.  :D

I learned a lesson when I traveled to Austin Texas in March to pickup a '17 FJR I purchased their in December 2019.  The lesson is the SE USA has rain and thunderstorms from October to May about 40% - 60% of the time.  Locals say the bands of rain roll through then it clears off.  I was in...

Hi Oso, I think this thread answer your question.  In short OEM FZ1 mirrors don't need a coupler of some kind to work so I suspect the product from eBay is in a word "short". I moved my OEM mirrors from my 09 to my 17 this past week.

Welcome to the Forum and congrats on your new FJR.

I didn't see the Easter Bunny - did you run it over?  :D Nice video thanks for posting.
