Bike is used in a japanese race called Autorace, found another video from the riders perspective.

They could bring back the HD Topper! 100mpg 10 cu inch, not a V-twin though. https://www.google.ca/search?q=harley+davidson+topper&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjD15zn48vcAhXsw1kKHRY1AhcQ_AUICigB&biw=1920&bih=947#imgrc=g5NC4-ipPMYUHM:

Agree - 6000km steady running should be as good or better than a Seafoam treatment!

Hey Ross, Just listened to your video, That is nothing like the loopy idle I have. Mine doesn't affect rpm and isn't that regular, it just changes tone for an instant every few seconds. Have you run ringfree or seafoam through it yet? Vacuum would be a good start.

My 2006 with 90,000 km has the same loopy idle, I have put in new plugs and SeaFoam through it with no change. Idle is set to 1100 rpm. FredW's comments make sense. It doesn't bother me or affect performance or fuel economy so I am happy to live with it. If you solve it let us know.

Sorry for reviving an old thread, But I am wondering if there is more information on the 2016 rear shock spring rate. It is cheaper than the 2013 so if it has a similar spring rate I may get one for my 2006. Getting close to 100,000 kilometers and think a new shock and front springs might put...

I filed a notch in the plastic lip under the front side of the lid and it allows the cord to come through with a bit less 'pinching' than just closing the door on it. It hasn't given me any issue and no sign of leaks either. I used a round chainsaw file it was the perfect size for the cord. I...

We had a January thaw and rain, so the roads are bare and snow is all gone so yesterday I took the FJR out for an hour, put on about 100km and filled it up with fresh gas and I'm still walking around with a dumb grin on my face! Forecast tonight and tomorrow is for a Nor'Easter storm with up to...

Here's the instruction for registering the new key. Note that you will have to register both standard (black) keys or the original one will not work after. Standard key registration: Standard key registration is required when a standard key is lost and needs to be replaced, or when the code...

I had an old 1984 Venture V4 watercooled, shaft drive, and would prefer it to an aircooled V-Twin of any brand. Just checked out the VentureRider forum and it seems they like the styling but are confused by the decision to put that engine in it. They were hoping for a variation of the 1800cc...

Found this chart which claims Yamaha specs different oil change intervals outside North America. I haven't confirmed it but 'it's on the internet so it must be true!' https://www.fjr1300.info/maint/ I wouldn't stress over 6000 miles on oil even with dino oil. FWIW

Makes sense to me. In the last few years I have taken the FJR from PEI to Cary, NC for a 2 week training course. Got to spend a weekend doing the Cherahola, BRP, Dragon etc. Also did the Wheels thru Time museum. Round trip including pleasure was over 5000km. I have also taken the FJR to...

I don't think its heat related. Looks like oxidation caused by moisture, aluminum turns dusty and paint falls off. I thought there was a certain primer used to 'seal' the aluminum. I don't spend much time cleaning and waxing so it is probably my fault due to the salt air environment I live in...

Looks like I may have gotten too much salt spray on the final drive of my 2006. Over the winter the paint has bubbled and the aluminum underneath is corroded. Does anyone know what to use to prime this after I sandblast it? Rick

If you check the thread I linked, bramfrank claimed in a post in 2009 there that he was eligible for the ECU but says he refused the replacement. His post above doesn't jive with what he said in 2009. It looks like Yamaha Canada only responded to owners who made a complaint based on...

Canadians were covered by this bulletin as far back as 2009, Attached is a link to an old thread where several Canucks had different stories from their dealers. but most got the updated ECU...

Canoehead, Had to remove my ECU to get the part#. The number stamped on the replacement ECU is FUA0011 3P6-33 F8T83374 . The part # on the box it came in is 90891-30055 FJR1300 ECU kit, The number on my original ECU is FUA0011 3P6-31 F8T83374 I got the replacement in 2012 and my...

I have a Canadian 2006A and had the ECU replaced under this 'recall' in 2012. I was planning a trip to the Virginia's and Dragon country and had seen this post, I contacted Yamaha Canada and explained that I would be riding in mountains and they gave my local dealer the OK to order it. I don't...

FJRfarrier, I was there June 15th with my blue FJR and a ST1100, St1300, and a BMW R1200rt. Wrong day!
