    2016 Is Official 6-spd, Slipper, LEDs, Analog Tach, Price

    I remember seeing that Yamaha sells in the range of 3000-3300 FJRs in North America in a year. I'll try and find an official link or source.

    Is the ES suspension upgrade worth going from a 2013 to a 2015?

    I changed a perfectly running 2009 for a 2014 ES just for the ES (and the cruise control).... But the ES made up my mind 90% of the way. I wanted the easy adjustments for 2up, sport riding (hard) etc. Worth every penny to me. I have had my bike for a little more than a year and no issues...

    Advice for cold weather

    As a Canadian rider, I can confirm that a warm jacket and pants offer nothing for frozen hands. Your ride becomes so unpleasant. I have the heated grips and some decent gloves, but even then the outside part of my hands froze while the inside was cooking. Not fun. I would highly recommend...

    600 Mile Initial Service Screw Up

    In my book, the dealership paid for the new tank, so they get to keep the old one. They corrected their mistake. They could have been dicks and simply repaired\repainted the tank instead of replacing it outright. My 2 cents....

    PDM60

    The design and fabrication seem very well done. Reviews and comments from multiple users seem to confirm that this product is a keeper. The key advantages of the PDM60 vs a PC8 for example is the fact that you can eliminate fuses. You have an issue, you reset the ignition switch on the bike...

    Electronics (GPS) and Vibration on Bike

    I would think the heat would do more harm. But vibration could harm the electronics.

    Do US riders still need a Canadian Insurace Card?

    As the operator of a motor vehicle (you don't need to be the owner), you need to show proof that the vehicle driven is insured..... either at the request of a police officer (ex. traffic stop) or after an accident. If a police officer can show that the vehicle is not insured, it can be towed...

    Burning oil

    I bought a Honda Accord thinking that I was getting a bullet proof car.... The 3.5L V6 has a cylinder deactivation system which is actually the culprit behind the issue. They reprogrammed the ECU with a 'fix' and we now need to keep an eye on the oil level just in case. So far, mine has only...
