They should fold up, although it is unnerving to have to lift your foot when you're in that tight of turn. Just go try to fold them up by hand. The MCL and the Garauld pegs I had needed to be folded down to use them. Naturally they folded up when they started to scrape. You have a long way past...

He tried to convince me that he had a Throttlemeister the same way. PM only...no posts. He went away when I asked him for photos and the price.

Hudson's motorcycle didn't make any miles today. I put some miles on the porcelain bus this morning instead. Too much sun the last few days and not enough fluids. I bailed on Archer. Now I'm dead to him.

You want to replace them in pairs anyway.

Tru dat, Charles. Yamaha would probably make someone pay for using their logo. But then you use it as your avatar and they haven't come after you yet.

How big is this decal? I copied the image and blew it up. It looks like an FJR in a cartoonish kind of way. If it is a cartoon, it would be nice to have the Yamaha tuning fork insignia with enough resolution to identify it on it somewhere like the tank. Also, if it's a cartoon, why not just put...

Dan- You're in the PNW forum. Just start your own thread and organize a ride there. I know there are a couple of Tacoma area FJR guys.

Been there...done that. I never put one back on. I will, however, happily take that useless Throttlemeister off your hands.

I was just there last year with my son. I should have waited until they showed up.

I once noticed that one of the bolts holding the right front brake caliper on my '06 was missing. I have no clue how it could have happened. I bought a metric bolt at ACE hardware that I installed until I could get one of the correct, vented type. I also had a screw come out of my left highway...

I am looking for a Throttlemeister throttle lock for the FJR. Please let me know if you are willing to part with one, new or used. Edit: Installed a XiTomer throttle lock which works fine.

Thanks for setting up and organizing a fantastic event. Archer and I made it home after a beautiful 3-day ride through NoCal and Oregon. At the end I had a rear-tire flat that 3 repairs using 5 strings and a new tube of cement wouldn't fix but at least got me to a shop in Kelso where they...

And include the year and asking price, maybe mileage, in the thread title.

Hey, to me it's all in the neighborhood. When I rode to Nova Scotia I took the ferry from Saint John, NB, to Digby, NS, and went to the Bay to see the tide swing. I stayed in Coldbrook and saw the tides at Hall's Harbor. I apologize for failing to run up highway 7 from Saint John to see you but...

I hope you saw the Bay of Fundy tide swings.

Just use Yamaha's gear oil. Don't try to convert the heathens with hundreds of thousands of miles of collective experience successfully doing otherwise. No one is going to fault you for it. You don't have to justify it.

I gave a guy I bought my '06 from the keys to my Subaru. Then he got on one of his other bikes and led me on a fairly comprehensive ride. Curvy roads with some climbing, urban traffic, finally a few miles on the interstate.

PayPal sent for a medium rare burger. Thanks, Tyler.

I think he might be in Bartlesville, OK, like it says under his user icon.

I have discovered a new condition under which the ABS light comes on and a buzzing like the ABS pump begins when the handlebars are pushed all the way to the right. I started at the front ABS sensor but it was clean and free of corrosion. I tried pushing and pulling on cables on the right side...
