Purpose is simply to let you know if your oil level is too low. In my experience, it never comes on between changes, but I have heard of it showing someone when his drain plug allowed oil to leak. As for worries about oil pressure, as a follower of this and another FJR forum for many years...

Several have mentioned tyre pressure, didn't see anyone say put it to at least 39 PSI, not the 35 or 36 that Yamaha recommend. Makes a huge difference to the feel and handling.

Saying your year and model might help, also whereabouts in the loom that connector is coming from. Brown with black tracer is used in several places in the loom, for instance the Gen 2 auxiliary socket in the glovebox, the heated grip circuit, feed to the cooling fan motors, rear brake light...

I, too, occasionally read through it. As for my expressing myself, it's the emotions that allow it. Never easy, but it helped me. Have i got over her death? No. Don't think I ever will. I'm not sure I even want to, but that's getting a bit deep. I appreciate your suggestion for a smaller...

Thank you.

Not for mine, though it would probably depend on the precise manufacturing date. Should be possible to check if you know the VIN of any particular bike by asking a dealer if it needs the recall or has had it done.

I took many pics when I did mine, available here. Good luck.

Bad ECU couldn't give you 12V at the RR negative terminal. That can only be a ground discontinuity somewhere.

The "12 volts everywhere" suggests it's the ground wire from the battery that's not got continuity. Measure the voltage between battery negative and frame.

If it helps, I took loads of pics when removing fairings on my 2006. Looking through, you may be able to find a subset that will give you the access you're after. Link: https://atrophy.lock.net/pi/20090924/index.php

Don't leave it on a trickle charger unless you mean a battery tender suitable for motorcycle batteries.

Somebody else did, but didn't want to embarrass you.

Good to hear. (I still don't like cats with collars, I think it spoils their looks, also not as pleasurable stroking them. But that's me 😮)

Agree about the way to clear mice, but please remove the collar from it. A cat can get strangled if it catches on a branch in a tree, and a neighbour had a cat that got its paw stuck in its collar, it had to be put down because of the injury that caused.

That's on my web site, still up, though in your post there's no link on the image, I've put it in my quote of your quote. In any case, This is the link.

Has to be the signal from the rear speed sensor not getting through. Make sure the sensor is correctly fitted, and the plate the sensor is mounted in, the spacer (I can't remember if there is a spacer) and the brake assembly are correctly fitted on the axle. I don't like the sound of the cable...

Usual cause is a sticky rear brake pedal. Make sure it’s free to move, push it down, it should snap right up when released. Pivot lubrication will fix it if that's what it is.

It is possible to allow the OEM mirrors to fold more. As I post this, the internet connection to my web site server is down. I'll post a couple of images to the forum for now, when my internet issue is resolved I will put in links to my web site with more hopefully helpful images. Two most...

Never mind, making progress.

Can someone help me to remove my 2018's front cowl? (Guess who's broken the mirror support frame. Again.) Yes, I've done a search, the nearest I got was this thread: Gen III front cowling removal? which, disappointingly for me, asked the same question, then posted "Never mind, fixed". I have...
