    Steering Head Roller Bearing - Upgrade or Boondoogle?

    Like you said, stable at all speeds. I was pretty confident that the tapered bearings were going to take away the head shake but I had no idea that the bike would handle so much better. Wow!

    Steering Head Roller Bearing - Upgrade or Boondoogle?

    I'm with you on all your points. I got my tapered bearing from Parts Unlimited. I did not have decel issues with mine. If put my bike on cruise from speeds 30 to 50 mph it would get head shake if I took my hands off the handlebars. With the tapered bearings it quit doing it at any speed. What I...

    Steering Head Roller Bearing - Upgrade or Boondoogle?

    I thought I would add my two cents worth to this just for others who come wondering about steering head shake. I had a 07 FJR since day one for 13 years. Bought it in 08. It barely had any problems at all. Rode it 144,000 miles. No headshake. Got a new 2022 and it had steering head shake from...

    Shopping for Seats

    Yeah.....non-seat padding doesn't work. It would be awesome if it would because I would be super comfortable. I'm at 280. Wish I weren't. Working hard right now to lose a lot. But, I have Sargent Seats on both my FJR and K1600. They are heated. I have put around 50 to 60 thousand miles on them...

    Finally got the 2022 Cases/Pitbull TRS System

    Almost 11 months later and my side cases and trunk finally got united w/ my 22 FJR. After calling Yamaha over and over, just checking in, they finally in February gave me a May date and they were right. They also gave me $250 to spend at Yamaha. So, that was nice of them. I actually took hold of...

    2022 FJR Lean Angle Sensor

    Yes that is what it does. I haven't mentioned this yet but I have had a few times where my bike won't start. It will turn over really strongly but won't start. Usually when I shut the key off and turn it back on then it will start. So now, I am wondering if there could be maybe an intermittent...

    2022 FJR Lean Angle Sensor

    Pretty weird huh? Thanks for the info. Appreciate it. I had a 2007 for 13 years. The engine light probably came on about 7 times over those years. But it always went offf in a short period of time. Never stayed on. Thanks again

    2022 FJR Lean Angle Sensor

    Hi guys! And girls! Had a weird thing happen that might help you if it happens to you. I had left my key on a couple of weeks ago and ran down the battery. I slow charged it back to health overnight. The next day I started it up and the yellow engine light came on. Drove it around to see if it...

    2022 FJR Side Cases

    That is so awesome man. Glad you were able to get the bike. Very cool. I also have old cases from my 2007. But, it is hard for to use them because it looks so bad! I'll just keep using the K1600 for the long trips and the FJR when I can ride and don't need luggage. Hopefully they will get here soon.

    Well that is great. We may be close. I live in Winston-Salem. I bought mine on June 30, 2022 in Indianapolis. Dreyer Motorsports. There were only 10 left in the country at the time. It was the closest place to me at that time that had one. And I knew some people that worked through racing that...
