I have these MC Enterprises bars front and back with high intensity LED driving lights mounted to the front bars. One thing I had to do when mounting the front bars is use my Dremil with a cut off wheel and cut off the sides of the small cup inside of the side panels. which covers the raised...

Hmmmmmm..kind of glad I have a genII and maybe even glad I have a BMW. Only kidding but I do think the beemer is a bit easier to work on. Well, maybe not when it's clutch replacement time but no comparison when it comes to a valve adjust. They all have pluses and minuses. I replaced the left...

Hi Bill, What ever happened with the overheating problem?

I'm going to give Lele's method a try as well. That's if it ever quits pouring down rain around here, another 2 inches overnight. 10 day forecast is more of the same. JUST NO FREAKING END!!!!

So you get a store credit? That means you get to go back to that dealer and help help him sell some inventory? Hmmmmm.....well guess it's better than nothing. I got to say, as a new (2010) FJR owner I am beginning to see how competent dealer support might definitely be an issue. I don't know...

Wonder what whistle and/or bell Yamaha is going to come up with next to sell their new bikes? Kind of reminds me of Apple and their I just gotta have it smart phones. I was going to add for dummies but I resisted. That kind of nasty comment said I do like the new OBD2 diagnostic system on the...

I'll just have to second that. I haven't missed my top heavy '04 R1150RT one bit. People that don't have a clue think the FJR is a top heavy girl (no pun meant) but that's subjective. I can't honestly find one single thing to dislike about my 2010 not one! Even the tupperware removal doesn't...

Ha, that sounds just like the ABS self testing or resetting every time I drop below 4 mph on my '93 R1100RSL.

My money is on a leaky head gasket and maybe a warped head. I also wonder if, when it was at the dealer for the original problem, they didn't get into the valve train checking for a tight valve then screwed up and got on the wrong bolt. It's nonsense like this that makes me nervous about ever...

Afternoon Laser Dude, Actually the same thing happened to me first time I reassembled. The clutch lever would not go all the way to the handlebar. I figured it out pretty quick but still had a problem and could not de-clutch so I took it apart, cleaned everything and carefully re-assembled...

PFM?? I'll store that one for future use/reference...lol..lol.. Have thought more about this and the only thing I noticed when I took the clutch stack apart the second time was the slightly rounded edges on the steel separator plates kind of like you see on a typical flat washer if you look...

Evening Fred and other posters, I didn't move or disturb the clutch push rod assembly. Never touched the clutch lever at all until I had re-assembled the clutch. Never got into the area that is home to the little steel ball. I slowly took the whole thing apart again and all looked OK. The...

Like someone said in a prior thread: "I thought the FJR had a wet clutch?" On my almost new (4,010 miles) the shifting slowly began to get more clunky with a false neutral occurring now and then. So, after searching this forum I decided to do a clutch soak because the bike has spent most of...

lol..lol..I got better sense than to have a go at an FJR in my 'stang..but then again..

A trike?? Have you not ever heard of a Mustang GT? A lot more awe inspiring than a 3 wheeled excuse for a motorcycle and a bunch more comfortable what with this funny little control on the dash labeled heat/cool. Plus, you don't need to wear a helmet and talk about carrying capacity and...

The more I read about the gen3 FJR the more I appreciate my new gen2. As in can't easily look at diagnostics, can't tweak the CO settings, can't adjust throttle linkage, can't adjust idle speed...and then there is the redesigned tupperware which imo is not as easy to install/remove at all. I...

I use a 21" Cee Bailey windscreen with reverse flip on my FJR and love it. Now, on my R1100RSL I find things work best with the windscreen all the way down. In this position there is no buffeting on the helmet and the force of the wind pushing me backwards eases the strain on my arms and...

I do agree. Some bolts and fasteners don't need to be torqued especially bolts that require crush washers including spark plugs. You can feel the crush washer flatten out as you tighten. Just be sure to stop tightening just as you feel resistance begin to increase and you're good.

That's what I thought. To each his/her own but I like choice. Think I'll stick with my GEN2, less complexity from suspension to tupperware remove/install.

Maybe I'm wrong but if you have Yamaha electronic suspension and you wanted to replace with a Wilbers shock you wouldn't be able to replace with anything but the Yamaha unit?
