I think it was one of Big John's get togethers where he ran into a lawyer attack soon after making up tee shirts incorporating the tuning fork and Yamaha name. How they even found out was impressive. Some were curious why they wouldn't be happy with the free advertising. Imagine if HD went...

When they mounted the new tires any chance they installed metal valves stems? I was thinking a TPMS for your trip might give you a little piece of mind.

You have a more complicated situation than me but my last recent tire change of the front had a slight leak also for a couple of days after I installed it. It was all cleaned as well as the other times and only dropped about two or three psi overnight. Finally had a chance to give it a good...

Hey Dave. Hope all is good with you guys. :) (Thread drift but IDK.)

No idea how or why they started with 2006 but here's some more reading material: https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/rcl/2009/RCRIT-09V002-7594.pdf

Double-check that. Yamaha part numbers usually have three digits followed by five and then two sets of double digits at the end. The first double digit group will give you the revision number. The second/last two should refer to the color/finish of the part which isn't in play here. Just as...

Keep in mind we're early in the riding season which means many are looking for new seats too. Ordering from any of the custom builders will probably have you waiting months for yours to be completed which also contributes to the used ones selling fast. If it makes you feel any better many of...

I found soft-ties around the triple help to make the attachment easier.

If it comes to this something to keep in mind; more than a few found the pads on the top boxes to be more uncomfortable than not having them. Your pillions might have more room and sit straighter without and a good back protector in their jackets might provide the needed padding for comfort...

Down with all the other transplants in Pinehurst. I do enjoy the terrain and roads up your way though. You might be interested in the below thread over on ADV. I'm sure you'll recognize more than a few of the tags. ;) (Jump to the last page to see where it's now at.)...

Welcome from southern Moore. Best of luck with it.

Might this be of any help? I've never dealt with it but have read a few who've cleaned and/or replaced the resistors under the cap. https://www.fjrowners.com/threads/2008-fjr1300a-spark-plug-cap-corrosion-sputtering-idle-low-rpm-acceleration-misfire.155071/

Nice shop there. And nice find for you! RJ has some good advice above about getting baselines. Along with that thought I'm wondering if the PO, with his background, might have kept service records for the bike. Couldn't hurt to ask. Will you be getting your hands dirty doing...

Welcome. Just to clear up a point, did it run fine before you touched the exhaust? Can you say that was the point when things changed? Thinking of the Last Thing You Screwed With theory to narrow things down.

I agree with starting with the basics. Charge and pull the batt then take it to a local auto parts place and have it load tested. If that shows bad then try a new/good battery and go from there.

Some things here which might help you figure things out. FredW's idea might help with the diagnosis. https://www.fjrforum.com/threads/bike-pulls-to-left.175124/#post-1404345

We s-l-o-w-l-y made the move to NC just before Covid hit but were fortunate to be familiar with the area beforehand. Still, visiting and living full-time are two different things. Any doubts I've had though have pretty much been erased. Scoot, my suggestion to someone who feels as you do...

Wouldn't any new Gen III shock work as a replacement?

This was one of the better threads here on the forum. Maybe a mod could move your post over. https://www.fjrforum.com/threads/pay-it-forward.122990/page-41
