Snapped my pinch bolt while removing the rear wheel tonight. Thoughts on best way to solve this problem? Drill it? Broken Bolt Extractor? I've never used one successfully that I know of. -=MD

Makers is fine, drop was pre-visit. My actual factory Mirror is fine, minus some scratches that are typical in a parking lot drop, but the multvex mirror overlay that was stuck on it was broken :( No, not alcohol related. Literally, a very steep, sharp right hand rising, out of the parking...

Yeah, so I'm a little late to the party, haven't ridden a whole lot in the last ~5 years. Had a great run through KY this weekend dodging tornados but ultimately picking up my Bourbon from my barrel at Makers which matured :-) So it was a great 3 days of riding. I dropped the bike in one of...

Something like this collection on ebay is your best bet: https://ebay.to/2LnNZnF Or simply search for "FJR1300 nuts bolts" which is how I found that. I can see there's at least one of what you want in that picture. I bought a similar collection in 2008 and have used it on my 2006 from time to...

This is the item you seek: #22 . Bolt, Hex. Socket Button 90111-05003-00 $1.99 . (QTY 3 per side). I found it here: https://www.cheapcycleparts.com/oemparts/a/yam/500455d5f8700209bc792e7b/cowling-2 (No affiliation)

The Shorai might be the worst $120 I've ever spent on any FJR farkle/accessory/upgrade.... I found it to not be worth a $#%!@ when cold... But YMMV Some folks swear by them.

Revise it: For Sale 2005 Yamaha FJR1300 - Adult Owned and Ridden - 99k miles. - New tires. - Aux lighting - Bill Mayer Seat - Starts and runs great. - As-is It's an 11 year old motorcycle with nearly 100k miles. It's gonna have some dings, scratches and warts. $3200, the seat and the...

Just ride it like you stole it. I've had my 2006 without that recall in many mountains and haven't had an issue, including Mt Evans, Pikes Peak, and over Bear Tooth pass many a times. I took my Power Commander off a long long time ago. I doubt you will ever notice it or ever have an issue...

RIP Don.

Nah that's a legit brag.

Your symptoms don't sound like S6 that's under the nose. You can see it w/o the taking the nose off but it's a *****. I'd doubt you could RnR it w/o taking it off if that is indeed the case. Good news is that taking the nose off isn't all that bad. Search for the Tech Bulletin for...

I'd have to go back and look, Now that you mention it I remember installing Timken tapered bearings. Whether or not those came from All Balls is beyond me, or maybe I was warned off All Balls. I cannot remember. -=MD

I think I could use front wheel bearings so I'm interested in what you're doing . I have had no issues with tapered stem bearings. All Balls I think.

My pops traded his 2009 BMW RT that left him stranded on a trip (broken drive shaft) for a 2013 or 14 Trophy. I think he's almost put 20k on it. Yes, they certainly got a bad batch of batteries, his was dead in 3 days, his replacement has been fine. There's still a software issue that...

Here is what i did to solve that problem. I reinforced the base with sugru, though I'm sure other products would work as well. https://sugru.com/ No affiliation other than I've used that stuff on all kinds of things. It's not cheap, and don't order a bunch cause it goes bad after about...

Prime is the ****. Still trying to figure out if I can crash that party. It's looking unlikely though. One other adjustment you will want to make to that mount is to reinforce the tail that you plug into. I used Sugru around mine, I'll shoot a pic and post it.

sMH10's, you use a different (no speaker) base. https://www.amazon.com/Sena-SMH-A0304-Earbuds-Attachable-Microphone/dp/B003YD0YTM/ref=sr_1_11?ie=UTF8&qid=1430247221&sr=8-11&keywords=smh10 The SMH20 already has a jack on the base.... -=MD

I switched from Sena speakers/with earplugs for the same reason. I have used https://earfuze.com in the past and they aren't too bad. Not super high quality buds, but they do have a fabric tangle free cord and that's of value. You can make your own buy using any 'in-ear' buds and Radian's...

If I recall correctly and it's been a while, you *may* get a look at it if you remove the left front fairing and associated inner black plastic. It's not that far up the wiring harness from where the turn signal wire comes off the main part of the harness there. To fix it though, yeah you're...
