The most fun I ever had on a motorcycle was when I had a TY250 Yamaha trials bike and would play with it on the steep banks of the sides of the Florida Turnpike overpass's in South Florida. {there are NO hills in South Florida, LOL.

I shouldn't but: A lady had a parrot that cursed badly and went to the parrot psychologist to see how to get it to stop cursing. The psychologist told her that whenever the parrot cursed to put it in the freezer for a couple of minutes because parrots are tropical birds and averse to the...

For those who are not going to read this full report as it is quite long. I am excerpting this fairly short conversation he had with another guy gassing up at a gas station he stopped at. I thought it was hilarious As I was beginning to refuel the bike and start documenting the stop, I could...

The stay has already been welded, very imperfectly, about halfway between the mirror bracket and the middle. Not much chance of bending it and rewelding it to get it right. I would do what you are saying if it were just the end that was corrupt. Thanks, Phil

Bought my 07 4 years ago and then found out it had been wrecked. {the seller knocked 2000 off the price when I called him on it}. Rebuilder had tried to straighten and reweld the front stay, did a poor job, and everything on the front including the windshield has been crooked since I've had it...

If you follow Hudsons advice, please buy it in the 07 "dark red" color, so I can embarrass myself too. LOL

Can't say enough about the "peace of mind" that my new TPMS system brings. I hit a piece of road debris on a ride the other day, and the ability to just glance down every now and then for the next few miles {I was riding in the Smoky Mountains, a LONG way from home and even a gas station} and...

Since you live here in the Greenville area, perhaps you would be interested in riding with other FJR'ers. There is a thread in the FJRiders forum where locals post their rides. Just sayin.

Have you tried posting on the FJ forum? Perhaps someone on there would like to trade?

Wow, with this AND my shelf, I can put in that microwave I have been hankering for. Just kidding. Hurry up and get this in production, the sooner you sell them, the sooner one will be available to me second hand.

AND, what type of plugs did you use? Were the old ones the right color, just with an extra large GAP?

Hmm, I wonder if this means I won't be seeing this series on BEIN? Not that it matters as far as watching motoamerica, I can watch it on FOX, but I am paying for the GOLD package, on my cable bill so I can get BEIN. I guess as long as I get the MOTOGP races on BEIN it's still worth it. BEIN...

I love my touring x-creen, use it in the winter behind the barn door v-stream and in the summer with the stock screen. I have the smokey one and that sucks because when it's dark and rainy and you want to hide behind it, it's hard to see through it. It helps, even when it's in the DOWN...

Flow rate shouldn't matter much in a tight modern watercooled engine, where the flow is determined by quite small oil passages in the engine. Perhaps the old "oil cooled" Suzuki's {where they shot a stream of oil up under each piston} would have needed a much higher flow rate.

Someone posted an opinion, a long time ago, in an OIL THREAD {duh} that this particular type of "micron trap" did not catch as many "microns" as other "micron traps" so it wasn't as good. Since I am concerned about catching all the nasty, engine destroying "microns" as I can in my beloved FJR, I...

There have been some who had to "adjust" the valves at 50,000 {like I did on my 07} and even some at the 24,000 mile mark, but not many. LOL

I don't know if there are any recalls for the 10. I bought an 07 and there were recalls, so I called Yamaha USA and gave them my VIN and found out what recalls were done, what the mileage was when done, and where the work was done. I couldn't hurt to call them and see if they have any info...

Keep your eye on Ebay, these guys use it a LOT to get rid of bike parts.

Anyone who feels they NEED a higher top gear, but don't have the coin for a 2016-19 Gen.4 can put Royal Star Venture rear end gears in their Gen. 1 or Gen. 2 FJR and drop the RPM's below 4000 at 85mph. Just sayin.

This is Two Wheel Obsessions video on changing older FJR's to the slipper clutch, very well done, as are all his video's.
