The AE ones might be different.

I believe StreetHawk's trans failure was also a 4th gear failure; he detailed the tear down and repair in this excellent thread.

Sorry about not replying earlier, ****. The new muffler looks and sounds perfect. Thanks!

Thanks Gray Ghost. Everyone make a mental note: At about 350,000 miles you might want to consider changing out the chain damper (9) (5JW-12251-00-00 $37.09) during your 13th or 14th valve check.

I'm about 99% certain a '09 - '12 engine should be a drop in replacement; I can't think of any connection that would give you fits. The only mechanical difference I'm aware of between those engines is a minor transmission difference which you probably won't even notice while shifting.

The engine is right around 200 lbs, and it's this big by that big.

Does it still run and operate correctly? Did you cut open the filter to examine what was in it? I think Yamaha might want to buy it from you, or offer you a solid deal on a newer one. ScooterG, hasn't the mothership bought other customers high mileage bikes for a tear down inspection in the past?

So a missing spider was all that was wrong with it? Now I'm kicking myself for not having bought it ;-) Good luck with the National Socialists at DMV.

Do you hear the fuel pump running when you turn the key to "on" and the ignition rocker switch "on"? Start there. Then, through the diagnostic menu there's a way to be able to "fire" the injectors, the procedure can be found in the service manual. Or, someone will be along shortly to tell you...

So you're the guy who bought that bike! I saw it on Craigslist (very briefly) and seriously considered buying it for parts. I won't say how much but it was definitely a fantastic "can't go wrong" deal. I had just put down my '06 A on a longer than I thought left hand sweeper, and was in need...

You guys have eBay over there? I just picked up a right side silver '10 saddlebag for my '06 for $200 last month. I think it was from a motorcycle salvage yard. Used saddle bags are around, just not likely something to be found for sale on this forum. Also, looking for a specific color limits...

Well, so much for Yamaha having fixed the problem. Do you have any electrical mods that may have "enhanced" this failure?

Before you write off the motor, I'd check for little things. IIRC your stated problem was that you couldn't maintain idle speed. Is it overheating at all? It might be something stupid, like a dry rotted and cracked vacuum cap / line, or maybe a bad injector, maybe a bad coil, etc. etc. Have...

Conceptual drawing of a 3008 Yamaha FJRXXXX: It still has bags!

Did you twist a large flat bladed screwdriver through the hole in the clutch basket to line up the spring loaded primary gears on the basket? I think the service manual says to do that, and I was cursing and swearing before I took a break and read the manual. Once I did that, the clutch...

Yamabond 4 is probably close enough to the same stuff, cheaper, and more readily available. It's what I used to glue my case halves together.

Thanks for taking the time to make a load path diagram for the transmission! You can see witness marks near the C5 embossing showing that it's slightly bent. It definitely looks much better than the one to the left, but I'm not so sure I'd install this guy. And that's why IMHO it'll never...

Don't force it. When you get the clutch cover off, take some pictures so we can see what's going on.

Are you willing to sell the right one only?

Yup
