As a high school kid I worked for a Goodyear tire shop  in the summers. We put water mixed with calcium chloride in the tractor tires to keep them from freezing in the winters. That was back in Pennsylvania.  

Perhaps it should be known what brand tire was used and how much weight you had to use when you applied standard weights? I have only used Michelin PR tires except on my current 2014 which had Bridgestone tires (OEM) when I purchased the bike new. I removed the wheel weights and applied Dyna...

I have been using Dyna Beads for 8 years in three different FJR's. I have only used them in the front tire. I use Ride-On in the  rear tire. I know there are folks here who think bead balancing is a hoax. My experience has been positive for each application. I have spooled my FJR's up to 110mph...

I'm interested in the H4:GTR Lighting CSP Mini.  Does this LED lamp have a cut off to prevent the light beam from blinding on coming drivers? Thanks.

According to the Compatibility section of this product's web site these LED bulbs are not street legal for headlights in the U.S. Is that an issue? How does Yamaha get around this on the late models with LED head lamps?  

Thank you.  Very helpful!!!

Thanks for these comments. I have 50K on my 14ES and the original pads. The last tire change(s) I noticed the pads are still in very good condition. I am very easy on brakes...down **** regularly. Considering the years and miles, is there a good safe way to clean the calipers and pads without...

I have removed the rear tire many times on my FJR's and never have I had a pad fall out. I suppose if I banged the caliper around enough a pad may have fallen out. If you decide to let the guy do the fix I would insist on watching him do it. Don't distract him!!!!   :not_i:

I replaced the OEM screen with a CalScientific 2' wider and 4" taller. It worked OK for more wind protection but the optics was less than the OEM screen. On a previous 07 FJR I had the Yamaha Touring Screen which I liked. I have replace the CalSci screen with a FJR Touring screen and am now...

Always good to see others raving about their positive experience with the FJR's. I'm on my third FJR now a 2014ES. Currently at 50K on this bike. On the other two which were 07's I did 56K total. Over the span of the three bikes never did I have a mechanical issue. No spider bites on the 07's...

I think you will find the delay in shipping your rifle scope was due to a very high demand for fire arms/accessories not due to FJR rare parts where there is very little demand.

Thanks for that tip. I have been carrying the bob in my pocket but your idea is great!!   :lol2:

Do tell, What dealer is this? We do not want any Forum member having them work on our bikes!! :not_i:

All sounds familiar. I bought one on this forum tried it on and hated the fit. It did not have clearance between the smuggler and the grab rail. I did not want it touching the rail. and it did not provide any more carrying capacity than the $25 tail bag I had from Cycle Gear. I sold it for what...

I never owned a C14 but took one for a test ride about 4 years ago. I'm 5'9" tall and could not get a good footing at rest. That was a no for starters. The other negatives have been stated. Not having cruise control will eliminate any future bike considerations for me!!  If the Concours14 out...

Ditto on ^^^^^. My 2014 was 6 mph fast with the OEM 180/55 rear tire. When I went to Michelin Road 5 190/55 the speedo was dead on with my GPS. It was an exact match with the road side flashing speed signs at construction zones. Perhaps my imagination but the 190 seems to make the bike turn in...

Hi Gary,  I sent you a PM requesting your PayPal account for payment and delivery ideas. Thanks,   Art

Gary,  Consider the mirrors sold. If Gary Laverda cannot cancel his order i  will take the mirrors. I have FZ1's on my 2014 but if I sell the bike and Gary Laverda does not take them I will put them aside for my next new bike rather than taking them off and putting the original mirrors on the...

Gary,  I have a friend who is looking for these. Please consider my request to have him reply to you before you let them go to someone else. His name is Gary Laverda.  Thanks,  art
