A wise man.....

Btw, I only dabbled in speed shifting until about 12 years ago when I took the Lee Parks Advanced Riding Clinic Level 2. There they go into the theory and explanation of clutchless shifting and teach you how to do it. It's been working for me since then.

For some reason I have found the clutch-less shifting to be more difficult to be smooth with the 6-spd vs. the 5-spd. The tractor transmission on my '14 BMW R1200GSA is butter smooth when speed shifting.

I don't get that. I have several of the Corbin Smugglers for the different colors of several of my FJRs and the Smugglers all fit with the three different types of seats I am using: A Sargeant, a Laam, and two different Russel Day Longs. The custom seats make it a tighter fit but with just a...

It's kind of hard to start out from a complete stop without a clutch. And though clutch-less downshifts are possible, the clutch in this case does make for a more pleasant experience. ;)

Why not do it? If done properly, which is quite easy, it makes shifts smooth as butter and is no harder on any of the clutch equipment.

Does anyone know if the SRA2109 will fit onto the Give SR357 to get rid of the ugly toilet seat?

I 'speedshift' all the time on my FJRs. Upshifting that is. 1st to 2nd I use the clutch 50% of the time. 2nd on up I am clutchless 90% of the time.

Puuurty!

I assume you mean the new-style Heli Bridge that you can still purchase from them vs. the discontinued old-style riser plate that replaced the OEM upper triple clamp?

Looks like a nice FJR. Just be aware of the rear subframe issues that can occur with that type of mounting of the rear topcase.

Yeah, crazy what happened up in the mountains so far away from the coast. The summer heat of Arizona is unsufferable, but then we don't have tornados, hurricanes, nor frigid cold. And in the metro areas no worries of fires.

I hit this recently on one my FJRs - a 2013. But only about 58k of that was ridden by me

Groo! Damn, where you been? It's good to hear from you. Why did you stop riding? Put me down for the Wilbers!

Yeah, the emissions argument doesn't hold water. The FJR meets North American emissions. It has been discontinued in two markets because it could not meet increasing emissions standards - Europe (2020) and Japan (2022). The km/h isn't a factor either as you can choose the units you want...

Move.

You can't clear any of the fault codes using the app? Did you pay for the upgraded version with more functionality? I have never had any issues or problems clearing the fault codes using the app.

My all-knowing and powerful crystal ball says the FJR just as it is will be back for 2026.........

More confirmation that the FJR and Super Tenere will not be in the 2025 line-up. :( Hopefully, a return in 2026? The last line in this press release: https://www.roadracingworld.com/news/yamaha-introduces-remaining-2025-models/
