Bust, I don't know when you will feel good again. As a father, I know how precious our kids are. Doesn't matter how old we get or how old they get, they are still our kids. I wish the best for your son and you, Miss Bust, and the rest of the brood.

Why you? Better you than me. Aftermarket stator, car tire. Tempting fate, don't you think? Besides, I'm recently unemployed. I can't handle any more **** in my life. Maybe you are better suited right now to deal with it? Honestly, I hope you get this solved with the help of others here...

I don't got one...maybe someone else got one. Speak up! [Grate, grate...Maybe someone else has one.] And I don't miss it either. Let's see, you are faster than your buddy in curves. He has a steering dampner, and you don't. He thinks you should get one too. Is he trying to slow you down?

We had meetings planned with a bigger fish (company) that was looking to buy our smaller fish (company). I awoke on that Monday only to realize I was running late. I rushed into work to find an empty parking lot. Pulled out my cell phone and discovered it was Sunday! I now wish that I hadn't...

The shift points are wherever you feel like shifting. Avoid lugging the engine, but if you want to shift at 4000 rpm, shift then. If you like to rev the engine higher, shift at a higher rpm. It is a matter of personal preference, riding style, riding conditions, desired mileage, etc. The...

Documentation with the Slime compressor says engine off.

Makes me wish I still had my Necky (kayak that is). That would be fun!

Happy Birthday Bust! You are a breath of...no it's not fresh...is it a bit rancid? beans? livestock?...air here. We haven't met, but unfortunately, I am originally from the same neck of the woods as you (Marshall, MI) with makes me worry about my genetic code. That said, feel my love--only...

I know...I should have searched first. Any clue out there as to why portions of the road are paved and others aren't? Not that it made any difference to the driver. I think he spent most of his time in the dirt on paved sections. This video really appealed to that portion of my brain that...

It seems that every week this same question pops up on '10s. The forum is littered with posts on this. Standard advice is to raise the idle rpms, but most report this doesn't make a difference. Others report it goes away with miles. As an '06 guy, I don't have this problem, but one of you...

Those wings make a difference? Mike, those wings are a pathetic attempt by Yamaha to get you Gen I guys to upgrade to a Gen II. (We may not be as fast, but we are comfortable riding in shorts and flip-flops....) Fattboy, wear some proper boots and riding gear and the heat problems go away...

This is the only way you could do this on an FJR. It worked on the TD and TZ roadracers back in the day (how I miss those days) because the shift lever was flipped over 180 degrees and had rearset footpegs. My question to you on the FJR is WHY? I have to admit that I've responded to a few of...

I don't know if it is Yamaha's blunder as much as it is pressure to meet emissions standards. It seems that most bike reviews I read these days complain about low-end throttle response. But rest assured, you aren't the only one who thinks it is a safety issue. Placing an on/off switch where...

More interesting than what??? You have a dead link.

My god you Gen I owners get up early on Saturday.... Got nothing to do but spend time on the neenernet?

Just behind the tool tray with the rubber band that is begging to be used. Works great for the Gen II. Like it was made for it.

Slade, I hate to hear about your run in with the deer. Sounds like you got whupped bad by the impact. Give yourself time to heal and then think about riding again. You will make the correct decision for you, whatever it is. Get rid of that staph infection and heal up!

A PC III is one of the best farkles I've made to my bike. I don't know about the PC V, but I can't think of one good reason not to use the PC (some version). It will remove the jerkiness and surging. It will probably lower your gas mileage a bit, but that is the cost of running your bike with...

Great report Matt, and nice ride to boot!

Great report Frenchy. If you promise to write a ride report we all ought to chip in for your expenses so we can have the pleasure of joining you again. Really enjoyed your reporting. Thanks.
