    Military Sport Bike Rider (MSRC) class

    We don't have it yet, but I intend to take it as soon as it gets to us. I don't think there is any "mandating" yet, but that wouldn't surprise me. I'm just glad to see that they actually got a group of young riders together and asked their opinion. First time I know of that we have had any...

    Gen II sliders

    I'm sure this will be long-winded and give more information than some wanted but here is my take on the pinch bolts(s): Pinch bolts serve to allow the components to be tight (left-to-right) in the frame or suspension without using a bunch of shims or putting stress on the frame/suspension. To...

    How do you “Long Distance” guys concentrate???

    With time, I have aquired all the goodies to make a long ride more enjoyable and downright fun! Custom seat, bar risers, AVCC, GPS, Xm Radio, Bluetooth for the phone, earplugs, full intercomm system and a sexy passenger to rub my back. With all that, there are still times when you just want to...

    Tire wear.

    Front & Rear new whenever either needs changed. Normally, the rear determines when I need a new set. Amazing how nice a new front feels even if "the chords aren't showing" on the old one. I average about 5-6K miles, and yes, that means I go through about 3 sets a year. Cheap insurance...

    Sorry to hear you tested these so soon... glad to hear they held up. Even more happy to hear that you got up and were able to walk/ride away. That's always a good thing. A couple comments: If you have not ordered these and are considering them, jump on the "extended" intro-price... even if...

    Help: Installind the protective film on the lower cowling

    I have done this before... twice. First time was with the do-it-yourself kit that had everything lazer cut to size. ROYAL PITA! I did it on a nice warm day with plenty of soapy water and as much patience as I could muster. Used it that way for about a year or so. Second time was just...

    Yes, I have YES...

    A phone call to ANY Yamaha dealer with your VIN can confirm your YES warranty is active. It takes them 30 seconds to look it up in the computer as long as their internet is working.

    cruse control

    I cheated: Smitty install, about 1.5 hours, I supplied the AVCC from Whitney, he supplied all the other parts/canister. It was the easiest farkle I have done... have had done... have paid for! :dribble:

    cruse control

    I LOVE my AVCC!!!!!! I waited way too long to get it installed. Beats the hell out of the throttle lock for comfortable LD riding.

    I don't have any "inside information", but I understood the sliders to be a bolt-on using extended engine mounting bolts. Not sure if this would help your cause. That said, why COULDN'T you just drill the tubing and bolt on a set of pegs? The best bet would be to drill a hole large enough for...

    Highway 36 and down the coast!!!!!! May 10-11-12

    Richard, Give me a wave... even a one-fingered wave as you go by. If it is later in the afternoon and you feel like a dinner stop, let me know. I can sneak out anytime after about 3.

    MY FJR IS KILLING ME !!!!

    My advice to riding nrivana: 1. Ride more... it breaks your *** in... and the seat................................eventually.................................NOT! 2. Master Yoda Riding Position. Do a search, you'll find it. 3. Wear the right underwear/pants! Nothing worse than having junk...

    FYI... I just did my first oil change after the crash bar install and had ZERO issues. Plenty of room to get to the filter and lots of room behind it when removing. I use the stock Yammi filter.

    Can Y.E.S be purchased out of state?

    lol... your avitar doesn't say diddly! So, if the monkeys are done slinging Sh*t, I think the point is this: READ the information suggested when you sign up, try to do a search whenever possible and, as I have done many times, PUNT if you still come up short by posting your question and taking...

    Switched to the 09 Emblems

    Hey... when you ride all year, you have to take a minute or two for detailing! You're just jealous! :clapping: Besides, we only wax our bikes during the 5 or 6 days a year when it is raining and we can't ride. :P

    Project: Transformation

    +1 I always said I would buy a white Wing and add the modulating headlights JUST to look more like a LEO. Better to be seen and feared than to be ignored and killed. :assassin:

    Everyone, Toecutter hinted at this and I would like to back it up by saying this: These is a FIRST-RUN production of a prototype device that NO ONE has done before! The FJR cuommunity has been wanting, whinning and waiting for this for YEARS and someone(s) stepped up and made it happen. On...
