    The smell of burning rubber

    At least you know the brakes work properly. Could be the smell of something else ( in your shorts) if they didn't. UK is tough doesn't sound like much fun with red light and speed cameras everywhere.

    Troubleshooting Bad Starter (?)

    A few old post here about starters filling with engine oil and causing problems. O ring is not a part you can get from Yamaha. If that's the case damage is already done. Could be starter relay but very few failures that I know of.

    Blinking brake lights

    Blinking 4-5 flashes is good. Then solid. I was behind a few HD bikes last weekend last guy had flashing tail light and he was not on the brakes. Constant. D bag. Very bright and distracting to all. Do it right and its nice.

    Attention All FJR AE Owners and Prospective Buyers

    2003-05 had to be ordered and you put down $500 before you ever had the chance to see one unless a dealer paid up and had one. Yamaha didn't want to import them back then but I guess it paid off sold many. Maybe same thing again with AE. If you want one give it the effort. That was any...

    Riding a Motorcycle counts as exercise?

    Riding has many benefits. Go for a 6 hour ride you can feel it. Uses core muscles and a few others. Stress relief and mental state of mind are also important. Dirt biking will leave you sore for days.

    Engine Idle Speed

    Who knows at this point you have to lift tank to check cables or do throttle body SYN. Ends of cables are threaded with a nut 1 pull 1 return safety feature. They both need a little slack. If pull cable is tight it will hold the throttle bodies open. Idle adjustment cable might also be an...
