I have an RF1000 which is about 3 years old in XL (same size as my last Shoei) which I ended up having to change the cheek pads to the next larger size. Stock ones were a 35 I put in 39's and all was well. I agree with your observation that the chin bars are closer, which IMHO leads to a bit...

Last year I went through the same decision process, road tested a '09 Concours 14 ABS and a '09 FJR A (did not ride an AE model) and bought the Yamaha. Like you I was unsure of the "keyless" ignition, which still has a key to turn, and I just didn't like the single large muffler. Good luck with...

The bike looks great, your friend did good by you for quality and price. Enjoy the riding season now that you are back on the road.

I have a Vanson Cobra Mark 2 leather jacket (with armour) you can open up the 2 vents in the front, vent on each arm and two vents in the back. This works well for me in New England, but I'm not sure if there would be enough air flow for the southern states. Vanson does have a completely...

With Snap-on torque wrenches the calibration is warrantied for one year from date of original purchase. The ratchet head would be warrantied for life. If you compared a Snap-on torque wrench to an SK, Craftsman or Chinese made tool (swap meet or tool show) torque wrench the difference is easy to...

I also agree with # 2. Let us know how you make out.

I have an '09 and do not have any vibration to speak of. What has been said on the forum if the motor mount bolts loosen up a vibration starts that gets worse as time goes on. Did someone install frame sliders? I have read that you tighten up the mounting bolts for the sliders (which are engine...

For future reference on any computer controlled motor vehicle when disconnecting the battery you should always dissconnect the negative battery terminal first to prevent damage to the ECM.

If the fasteners are already assembled and tight you can apply Loctite "green" 290 which will wick in along the threads and lock the nuts. Plus it is easier to disassemble when required then "blue" Loctite but works just as well.

Congratulations on the new bike! We just came back from Fort Kent. Yes you do still have snow, and ice on Eagle Lake as of Saturday am. Glad to hear you are enjoying the bike. I am currently trying the Cramp Buster throttle rocker, need to put some more miles on, but happy with it so far plus it...

Welcome back, we have had some nice days recently. Now you'll have to make up for lost time, from seeing your map it will not take you long!

The link in my '09, which has the same part number is approximately 7.5 inches on center (the forward bolt is behind the center center stand). Hope this helps you out.

Off the "My Yamaha" section of the Yamaha Motors website 2009 Motorcycle/Scooter Technical Update(2/14/10): oil type: above 5 Degrees C (40 Degree F) Yamalube 4, 20W50 and Below 15 Degree C (60 Degree F) Yamalube 4, 10W40. My 2009 Owners Manual and Service Manual state Yamalube 20W50.

I came off of a '99 Concours 10 which had a slight buzz in the bars the Yamaha is light years better (should be 10 years newer technology with fuel injection). I rode an '09 Concours 14 ABS before riding and buying an '09 FJR A. I liked the fit, finish, and the styling of the FJR better plus it...

Welcome from Connecticut. Glad you like the bike. Weather here is finally cooperating I went out this weekend (was going to ride to work Friday a.m. except it was snowing). Enjoy the new scoot!!

Great looking bike, congratulations on the new scoot. Maybe some day we'll see some green and the sun. Best of luck!

Congratulations on the new bike.

Welcome from Connecticut. Nice bonus with the extras. Enjoy the ride!

Welcome, I bought an A and have enjoyed it and not questioned the choice, not sure if an AE is my "cup of tea" at this point. Have not ridden an AE either so I cannot give a reason why other then I'm used to using a clutch Have fun making your choice then enjoy the ride! :rolleyes:
