Argh...again... 1 month later and a second puncture :angry2: Last time was a decent size spike (maybe 1/2" at widest). This morning I found another nail which looked like a little roofing or finishing nail. Last time, needed new front tire and other work, so seemed like a decent idea to...

As posted elsewhere, I determined for myself that an '08 wheel wont work on an '07 and vice versa (confirmed on Friday for me) :( the abs seson connection to the rear wheel is different... just like Fairlaner said it would be ... So, I have an '07 rear wheel with rotor in very good condition...

'08 wheel wont work on an '07 and vice versa (confirmed on Friday for me) :( the abs seson connection to the rear wheel is different... just like Fairlaner said it would be ... I have an '07 rear wheel with rotor in very good condition (and the rear traction bar as well) My preference is to...

Got bike back today. $1,143 out the door I dropped bike off just before close Thur night. Initial estimate was late pickup Fri night, but then I added the grip install. Revised estimate was Sat afternoon (I presumed mechanic worked on other stuff). Got an email at 9am this morning the bike...

to clarify, I've put 22k miles on the bike since April '09. This was a sales rep bike, 49-state model, that had 8k on it when purchased (required to be able to sell in CA). The bike now has 30k miles. This definitely includes Valve inspection, I'm requested clarification is this includes the...

I recommend giving PCA a call and asking

Have you done your research on the different adapter plates available (and pro's/con's)? I use one from https://www.premiercycleaccessories.com/Yamaha_FJR1300_06_09_s/4972.htm I've not had an issue in 22k miles on my '08. Though others have reported rear sub-frames issue in certain years...

It was nice to get back to summer riding gloves these last couple of days, and not wear an extra layer under the Aerostitch (brisk, but not cold in the AM along the Pacific Coast)

Richard - PM sent with my contact info. Lindberg's SoCal info list has it as well This does involve a valve adjustment. Supposedly if you look at the Periodic maintenance chart in the Service Manual, everything listed for a 16k service (lots of checking , lubing things like control cables...

Per my other post, got a puncture/flat on way home tonight, so towed bike to shop I've put 22k miles on bike since 21 months, and its due for some thorough servicing The shop estimated 7.5 hrs, $712.50 in labor plus another 80-90 in parts, misc, waste disposal, etc This will basically be the...

Well .... dang nabbit.. first tire puncture in almost 140k+ of riding tonight on the way home :( Fortunately - rear tire (with only 5k on it), hear the noise, check saw the huge chunk of metal, tire holding air, rode to side of road with bike leaning to angle to try and not puncture, was...

I'm in if the ride is on Mon the 27th (my day off). I'm supposed to be working Tue-Thur that week However, I do have the 16-27th off... so I may have to go riding some other days as well. The weather is supposed to be so nice this weekend, that I considered a FJR ride, but will probably...

PCA has a number of different mounts. The one I have and recommended mounts directly onto the FJR (unscrew 3 stock bolts, drop onto plate, re-install bolts) If you have what I'm thinking of (large wide flat plate), then no. For that, all you really need is the Givi Mount kit ($18) and to...

There are losts of posts on the Givi mount issue on this board. Use Google search to help find them use site:fjrforum.com I had an original Givi mount on my Concours. For the FJR, I went with the https://www.premiercycleaccessories.com/Yam...6_09_s/4972.htm, specifically...

Having a '99 BMW 528iT, I appreciate fine engineering, and love my car (almost 100k). After 110k miles on my '90 Kawasaki Concours, it was time for a new bike. I looked longingly at the BMW K1200/K1300 bikes. However, have you researched their reliability reports?.... not good. ESA shocks...

You can. I commute daily (~24 miles one-way, lane-splitting a decent portion of that) and get at least 40mpg (on a stock '08 other than Rifle screen) On my Lap of California last year, I ranged from 40mpg to well over 50 (on a highly patrolled route from Lake Tahoe heading towards Lassen...

I've seen what I think you are describing on craigslist and eBay what I saw was generic no-name stuff

Yzerman19 Check out my post on this topic a week or so ago with for more info I am 6' 32" inseam, ride with stock seat in the lower position. I normally ride with my Rifle +3"tall +4" wide. with the screen in almost the all the way up position (less than an 1" from top while commuting, higher...

Ah.. hm... interesting As I got the '07 rear wheel/tire/bearings/etc just minus the ring. So it was taken off somehow, and I no visable sign of damage to the wheel area where the ring is located. Heard of anyone trying to mate an '08 ABS ring on an '07 rear wheel? OR is that what you are...

PHHfft I've been riding with the Medium Bronze for almost 15 years. I ride year round so come winter time, I get to lane-split on my way home every night in the dark {gets fun when its raining as well} My position is to look over the shield, not thru it. So its' darkness isn't a factor. I...
