    What year are you looking for? I'm pretty sure I have a set of stock dog bones from an '015 in a box with a relay arm. I'll check in the morning and post a pic.

    5th Amendment doesn't cover YouTube

    I do video some twistie rides with a GoPro but never high speed stuff and never show the speedo. Although the popo can figure out the speed by watching. If they want to nail me for doing 10-15 over in a 25 MPH curve so be it. Another reason for me to not want a dash cam system. Stupid is as...

    Looks like fake news to me.

    Handle bar / handling questions for the veterans.

    Something else nobody has yet to mention... what are your suspension settings? They may be all out of whack from the previous owner and not good for your weight. Start with a baseline of 8 clicks out from full in on comp and reb and 3 lines showing on top of the forks. Set the rear on hard...

    Handle bar / handling questions for the veterans.

    Again, what pressures are your tires set at? Installing a passenger and riding faster is not a solution for poor handling.

    Handle bar / handling questions for the veterans.

    You say tires are inflated properly. What pressures are they? It's widely accepted the FJR handles way better with 40F/42R. Stock recommendation of 36 makes for sluggish handling as you describe.

    No special kit needed. You can get everything at an auto parts store. This video explains how.

    I didn't know Yamaha made a back rest. Top box/trunk yes, back rest no. Good luck with your search.

    Aug 24, 25 Weekend Ride Ideas WV

    Shiny and clean was a joke right? LOL How's the trip going? 81 is gonna be boring highway. Check a map, might want to do 64 to 60 down 29 to 460. It's longer of course but more scenic and fun.

    AIS- Oily mess

    My guess would be crank case breather, if there is one on the FJR. What oil are you using?

    Found Saddlebag lock

    Hey Cookie! I approached you and said hello in a gas station. I think we had just got done running 219 (?). I was with 2 other FJR's. Nice to meet you.

    Side Case Protection

    Somebody had once listed a template duplicating those Techspec pads. I bought some fake carbon fiber wrap/contact vinyl and was going to cut my own but now I can't find the template.

    Are Panel retention bolts right color?

    Great minds and all that stuff. 😄

    Are Panel retention bolts right color?

    As they say... Been there, done that. Push them into a piece of cardboard to protect the threads, give them a shot of brake cleaner, paint and let sit in the sun for a couple of hours for best results.
