Over the years I went through PR2's, 4's and 5's. The best mileage has been on PR2's getting 13,000 miles on a set down to the wear indicators. Front tire cupping but not too bad. Since 2009 when I first owned a FJR I have only run Michelin PR's and R5's. I am currently on Road 5's and at...

I too have have Denali D2's on my bike mounted on the fork reflector base. They are high quality and I get comments on how visible they are to on coming traffic. Highly recommend.

Thanks for your comments. I have not seen the actual measurements. The shop that did the last valve has a very experienced tech who said, considering your age and how you ride it is not likely shims will be a concern.

Currently the bike has 71,000 miles completed. I do not recall if there was any adjustments needed at the first scheduled interval.

Question for those of you who are highly experienced wrench mechanics. Do you think it makes a difference if the bike is often run at high RPM vs keeping it within 4-5 thousand RPM? I am curious as having had three FJR's over the past 20 years never have any of the bikes needed shims when...

My 2014ES is my third FJR and for sure the best of the three. Heated grips, cruise control and that one time red is the cherry on the cake. No need for a 6 speed with the final drive mod.

Easy fix is just replace rear tire with a 190/55-17 and your speedo will be accurate.

Hopefully the subframe the mirror is attached did to break. That is a very common thing when the mirror is impacted.

Wow, that is very generous of you.

I too had the FD on my 2014 modified by the same man in PA. I love the mod and would not discourage anyone from doing the same. Perhaps Kevin should check with the other FJR groups to see if anyone knows sho is now able to do this mod.

I have owned three FJR's since 2008 and had dealers do four valve checks and one swing arm lube. Never has it taken the ship more than six hours to complete a major service. I have always taken the bile in before the shop opened and let if cool down. By the time they took it in at 8AM I was...

I have been using Road 6 first set now has 9,000 miles and 3/32 remaining tread. I expect to get 12,000 before retiring them. I inflate front 39psi rear 42psi. I weigh 145lbs and ride moderate aggressive. Considering my weight I have never used GT's.

It is my understanding the OEM Yamaha oil filters have changed part numbers several times however the current OEM filter available is OK for any later generation FJR. Am I correct??

If I recall correctly, do not lube or use loctite on the bolts???

I too have used the Pazzo knock offs and they worked just fine but the color did fade. I moved up to the real thing, Pazzo and they are now 5 years old and look like new. If you are just looking for function go with the better grade knock offs. Keep they well waxed and they may not fade.

Did a web check and the outfit is no longer in business. There are other manufacturers of similar bar ends. None require batteries!!

This is an interesting discussion. I have had three FJR's, the first was stock and it took many niles to get comfortable transitioned from a cruiser. I read an article in one of the motorcycle magazines about proper siting position on a motorcycle. In short, it said there should be no weight...

It is my understanding from past discussions on this topic, the FJR U-joint has no service requirement. Also the splines should be checked for lube initially as many are delivered dry from factory. Once they are lubed it is not necessary to do it again as there is very little movement on the...

Is the pigtail that came with my Deltran Battery Tender Jr. adequate to power my Slime tire inflator?

For the record, the first producing oil well in the U.S. was in Oil Creek near Titusville, PA. August 27, 1859. Known as Drake well.
