    Y.E.S. 48 Mo. Plan

    I would have loved to do the same. However, when I tried talking to three local dealers about it, I got a blank stare. Of course, two local service departments here argued with me over changing the rear drive oil at the 600 mile service. That doesn't comfort me either. So far, I haven't...

    Y.E.S. 48 Mo. Plan

    Talk about customer service! I called D&H today and spoke to Renaa. She took my info and said, "just mail me a check...no need to overnight it." I was surprised, but all the good things I have read about D&H are definitely true. Bottom line, Renaa told me I should have my card from Yamaha...

    Y.E.S. 48 Mo. Plan

    Good idea on the FEDEX. Do they require a check or can they do credit card transactions for the cost as well?

    Y.E.S. 48 Mo. Plan

    Anyone know of another dealer that will do a price on the YES plan similar to the D&H deal? They are closed on Mondays and my warranty expires on the 12th. Yes, I am a world class procrastinator. I have always blown off warranty plans in the past, but sonds like the FJR may benefit in terms...

    Rider Down

    There is a new '05 w/out ABS on the floor of Excel Motorsports in Concord, NC. No connection with them myself. Not where I bought my bike. They of course have the list price on the tag. However, it's sitting way over in the corner and I'll bet they would like to get rid of it. I work at the...

    Burnt Textile On Exhaust Pipe

    Found this on FJROwners .com. I use Mother's Wheel Polish and it comes right off. $30 will buy a lot of polish and beer. I haven't tried anything myself yet, but I'll have to soon. My boots are depositing all kinds of sole on the pipes. Guess I need to do the Cobra exhaust shield mod of...

    Which Headlight Moduator?

    "...4 cagers tried to murder me on my 9 mile commute home." I have to say that having seen bikes coming at me with a modulator operating, I am convinced all bikes should have them. Especially since the greatest cause of mc accidents is drivers turning left in front of a bike. It's difficult...

    Wimpy Kickstand?

    I was attacked by my bike the day after I bought it. I'm anal about getting off the bike and making sure the sidestand is set before I release the front brake. I had time to remove my helmet, gloves,riding pants, and jacket before attempting to walk away. Took one step and there was a tug on...

    Complimentary FJR Hats

    I got a hat and I don't even know what the "second chance PDP program" thingy is. I got back from a deployment to Kuwait/Iraq on Sat. last Oct. and picked it up on Wed. Does that qualify? I bought it off the floor. In fact, I was going to sell my FJR but then I got this cool hat in the mail...

    Harley Bites The Dust

    I used to have Road King. One of the reasons I got rid of it was because you couldn't lean AT ALL! on that bike. Of course, that was only one of the reasons. It really didn't feel at all like riding a bike, but more like sitting in a cage. Looks to me like he leaned in late (the bike...
