    Recent rider's review on the FJR1300A

    I had the same thing happen when I had Cycle Works in Red Deer, Alberta install my new tires this past summer. 21 and 22 PSI. Shocking. And they seemed to forget about my specific request for 90 degree valve stems. Oh, and they scratched my windshield too. The only Yammy dealer in town and...

    At least that’s his story… and he’s sticking to it.

    2014 Yamaha FJR1300 ES Bad Dash LCD Burned Display

    I'll admit that I'm not technically knowledgeable (and I haven't even read that nice techie page that Fred linked earlier) but I suspect that there's an actual hardware difference. Don't LCD screens have shaped "moulds" that the crystals fill when given their electric marching orders? Isn't...

    This is starting to sound a bit like a Trojan ad.

    Cold Weather Riding on the FJR

    As a good Canuck I was slow to adopt heated gear, thinking I could just use the same method for riding that I do for all of my winter activities - layer up and strip down as required to stay comfortable. What I didn't think about was the inconvenience of stopping every quarter hour (or...

    2015 FJR1300 Information Released!

    The main point is, I think these are some truly great bikes. Who knows what lies ahead in the future with increasing pressure to be eco-friendly and fuel responsible. In the oft quoted words of Keating: "O me! O life!... of the questions of these recurring; of the endless trains of the...

    Some specifics about Russell Day Long

    I weigh 168 lbs and my wife comes in at about 120 so neither of us is big. However, we both love our RDLs. Truth be told, it took a while for me to order them. We both thought the stock seats were “fine” and wondered what everyone was whining about. However, primarily from reading this forum...

    2015 FJR1300 Information Released!

    I can't believe I'm contributing to all this hen-pecking about colours (yes, with a "U"), but here goes. While I'm glad to have my '13 in pavement-camo grey and I couldn't imagine why anyone would want the root beer colour, I saw the root beer in person last weekend and it looks much better in...

    winter storage

    I find that a dehumidifier in the garage combined with a wet-vac for those really messy snow days helps to keep everything pretty dry.

    You've been patient for a long time, Redfish. Just find yourself a decent deal and pull the trigger! You know you won't regret it.

    Helmet

    That’s the funniest-looking GoPro mount I’ve seen on a helmet.

    Helmet

    That, and some helmets like my Schuberths don’t have d-rings so through-the-chinbar is the only option.

    Helmet

    Brilliant! I've used a bicycle cable lock in a similar way on occasion but this takes up less room and doesn't need an extra key. Very nice.

    Helmet

    I take your point, HRZ, but I suspect that in many cases if a bad guy is up to no good he might just sidle past the bike nice and slowly once or twice before making his move (to see what he's up against). Might give Wheatie enough time to intervene.

    Gen III Mirror & Broken Sub-Frame

    I never knew my FJR had a crumple zone... I'll have to borrow Iris's pics the next time my buddy's going on about the airbag on his Hondapotamus!

    Samsung Galaxy S5 on the Road

    Yeah, my S4 Mini has it too. Fun for messing with people at the pub, but I haven't found a "real" use for it yet. Spud's application makes sense, though.
