Bought my '07 with 49K Kms. No service records. Checked the valves at 54K Kms. All within spec. Will check again at 100,000 Kms.

I am in Canada. I just bought a brake caliper assembly off eBay. The price was $32USD. Shipping was $56.55USD that I had to pay before the part was shipped for a total of $88.55USD. This was paid upfront, online via credit card, so no real hassle for me and, I imagine, not for the seller...

I was removing the pins so that I could inspect and clean the pads and piston. It was difficult to get the pins moving and I was thinking about squirting on some "Liquid Wrench" penetrating oil figuring they were seized up with rust (even though there wasn't any evidence of that, externally)...

I need to replace the rear brake caliper assembly on my 2007 FJR1300A. For which years and models are these assemblies interchangeable? Do I need to look for one specifically for the year and model of my bike?

Is the rear brake caliper assembly still available?

Welcome!

Huh. My bike is a 2007. The original owner had mounted a GIVI top case on the OEM rack. When I switched out the OEM rack for the GIVI SR357, it was easy, peasy.

I agree with JoeyL. Get the Haynes manual. I have both the Haynes (paper version) and Yamaha a factory service manual (electronic version). I find the Haynes manual much more useful. Here is the URL for the Haynes manual: https://haynes.com/en-us/yamaha/fjr1300/2001-2013-0. Just copy and paste...

rbentnail says: "I have longed for one of those for quite some time but I could never justify the cost for using it once every 2 or 3 yrs." My local shop said that a throttle body sync would take 1.5 to 2 hours. Their hourly rate is $100CAN. A new Syncpro Carb Tuner is $145CAN at Amazon.ca. My...

I went with AllBalls tapered roller bearings. They work fine. I have no experience with anything else for comparison.

Bummer about the bike. I would have grabbed the CCT, but I am in Canada.

I had a TomTom. Apparently it is great in Europe (I wouldn't know). Not so good in North America. Very finicky when trying to plan a route. Updates were not easy. When the cable crapped out, I could not get a replacement; it would have to be purchased in Europe and shipped. I have gone over to...

Hello from Moncton, NB!

I has a used 2004 ST1300 for 5 years. When it was totaled in an MVA, I bought a used 2007 FJR1300A. The ST has better wind and rain protection. It is a better bike for 2-up touring. It also has tip-over bars integrated into the factory design that work well (DAMHIK). The FJR is more sporty and...

HA! I have to laugh. When I was 51 y.o., I, too, used to enjoy long-distance cycling. Then I got a motorbike. It was a new-to-me Honda 2004 ST1300A. I figured, as you do, that I could scout routes for cycling. Well, after spending the summer scouting routes and not riding those routes on the...
