I too have been running the Purolator 14612 Pure One filters on my FJR for the past 200k miles, never had so much as a mist of oil from the filter. On the last oil change I used on of the recently purchased Pure One filters and the POS was leaking every time I stopped. Funny enough it would only...

As far as I know, you can't do that with a Zumo 550 via BT, so either pair the phone directly with the Sena headset or if you want to go through the Zumo you'll need to hard-wire it, including a mic line. Of course that kind of defeats the point... I use a Sena SM10 BT hub, and a mixer (from...

Given that practically every popular Yamaha road bike from 2001 onwards seems to share that same part, I'm betting you should be able to find a good used one at a fraction of that ridiculous price.

The new Yamaha MT09 Tracer uses the same bags, just the "city case" version (flat lids) and they are finished in satin black. Personally if I was buying the bags new these would be the version I would buy. I had my "fat" cases modified to replicate city cases before I moved from US to Japan, as...

Believe me I'd love to have a nap right about now, seeing as I didn't finish working on the FJR until 3:30 am last night. It sucks that my company frowns on afternoon naps though

That Handy lift looks really sweat. Considering that it's likely to last you for countless years to come, I'd say break that piggy bank and treat yourself to some Handy goodness DC.

Thank you Donal, that thread is related to what I was asking, I've read through it but it didn't really provide answers, just mostly presented more questions I figured since I was able to figure this out and successfully install the damper bushing I'd throw up some pics for other to reference...

Just my opinion DC but it seems like this leak was small enough that "blocking" off this little corner part of the radiator would not materially affect the cooling system performance. So something like JB Weld on the outside and a little fine black pepper or Bar's Leak from the inside and it...

Bump. Seeing as there have not been any responses about tips/ideas on how to actually remove/install the Holder/Damper part, does this mean nobody has done it before

I too purchased a YES plan as the bike and I were in the US. My point to Infrared was that this was a big deal for the local market as they couldn't even buy something like a YES plan for the grey market FJRs, even though these were only imported by a sole distributor company (Presto) which was...

Thanks Bounce, the page hung and I had to kill the browser, didn't know it multi-posted as I only saw the one post.

As promised here are some pics of my rear view camera setup, yes I fully admit to being a geek, but it works great for me This was originally just an idea, so I bought a cheap unit, I've been very happy with this and am planning on upgrading it to a better quality unit in the future, just got...

Carl, sorry about your troubles, that totally sucks. I was wondering if in this case maybe it's better to simply tap the stripped out holes with the next size up thread (tap) and use the matching bolts?

I've installed an el-cheapo car reverse camera and screen on my Gen2 FJR, but not in place of the LCD panel. I mounted my screen just to the left of the tach meter, which did require drilling a hole in the upper fairing. I don't have any pics on me now but will take some and post when I get...

Thanks for the suggestions Infrared, I have searched the eBay equivalent in Japan, and found nothing. The problem is that up until 2013 FJRs were not officially sold in Japan, i.e. only available as a gray import and Yamaha would only offer a 1 yr warranty vs. 3 yrs for any domestically sold...

Apologies if this has been covered before, but a Google search of the forum did not find any useful info. My throttle has been getting progressively more "sticky" despite regular service to clean and re-lube the bar and throttle tube. As can be seen from the pic (and its actually worse in...

Thanks Fred, that makes sense. Just my personal experience with the Angel ST vs. GT on the FJR and my riding style: in my earlier post I mentioned that Angel GT was a very close second (considering my answers). That does not at all apply to the Angel ST on the FJR! I would very much regret if I...

Ross, at the risk of condemning this useful thread to an impromptu NERPT home, I wouldn't advise even someone I really dislike to use the BT023 @Fred, I don't know if the Poll can be extended to enable you to select your 1st and 2nd (or equally good) tire, but if yes, I think it will make the...

I did the same thing , because even though I know (much more intimately than possibly any other A owner ) it is supposed to be empty every time I see it I get a cold shiver down my back about having "lost" some parts down the road somewhere. I guess this feeling will subside with time but...

I've been running a SuperBrace fork brace on my Gen 2 for over 200k miles. I have been able to get around 80k miles out of a set of bushes and seals (always running all 3 bushings). I think it helps and will continue to use it. I can't speak for the quality or fit of the other fork braces, but...
