Can you ship it to 46131 for the $250?

My first FJR was a 2009. I bought it in February of 2018 with 18K mi on it. It had a few farkles on it already. A Backup rider backrest, Garauld highway pegs, Helibars Handlebar riser bridge and a DynoJet Power Command 5 that had been dynoed. I paid $5400USD for it and felt I got a good deal...

That one was about 13 days. I wasn't in any hurry; just out sight-seeing.

Perhaps we got sidetracked trying to help a fellow FJR rider out. How easy it is to get caught up in trying to be helpful. Seems to me that since the diagnosis is headed in the direction that the problem is probably not a spider bite, that would make sense

The most common cause of a cylinder or two not "carrying their weight" is a throttle body that is out of adjustment. Making sure things are clean (throttle bodies, spark plugs and plug wire connections) is key before you try to sync the throttle bodies. It is also recommended that you check...

Just bought a second set of Pirelli Angel GT2 A-Spec. I started out with Michelin Road Pilot 5 on this bike, when those wore out I bought Continental Road Attack III GTs. Loved those things! Felt much better on the curvy stuff than the Michelins. I bought a second set of Continentals to...

I've only ridden my buddy's 2012 R1200RT but comparing it to my 2016 ES brings a smile to my face. The BMW seemed to have a noticeably lower center of gravity so it was less scary trying to maneuver it at very slow speeds. The engine was very torquey but lacks the ultimate oomph of the FJR's...

The road to Banff, AB. The best part of the Trans-Canada Highway. Banff is B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L!! My first glimpse of the Northern shore of Lake Superior. That's one giant lake! Met my sons here in Waterford, MI for Thursday night Bike Night! I even won a T-shirt! Gratuitous plug for the...

Next up? The Grand Canyon. It is indeed Grand! On to Yellowstone. Didn't see any deer but this fellow was merrily grazing. Between Yellowstone and the Grand Tetons somewhere... The Solsberry Trestle in Southern Indiana. Completed in 1906. Still in use. Just kidding. The National...

The Mackinac Bridge connecting Michigan's Upper and Lower peninsulas. Crossing the Straights of Mackinac. The left lane is a metal grate that you can look down and see the water below...WAY below. They caution motorcycles not to use the left lane; I couldn't resist. Frankenmuth is a German...

Brown County State Park in South Central Indiana. Poulsbo, WA on the way to pick up the new (to me) 2016 FJR1300ES. Hard plastic panel flying off the back of a passing truck in Wyoming. Clipped my left shoulder and the dry bag strapped to the back of the bike. The driver was oblivious...

Wow! That sounds horrible! I'm pretty sure I heard a dead cylinder there. I have run into an issue that may be similar to what you experienced. #1 What RossKean and escapefjrtist said are both excellent points. #2 Have a look under the trim piece that wraps the rear of the tank and make...

@Esa Why was the front wheel replaced? I'm not certain what you mean by "jumping". My best guess would be an out of balance or out of round condition. Either is easily verifiable by removing the front wheel from the bike and re-checking both. Make sure when you re-install the front wheel...

@NorCal FJR 75,000 miles on the clutch is not horrible. However, your issue raises a few questions. Assuming the master rebuild did not entail touching the slave other that to bleed the system, have you consistently used an oil that meets the JASO MA or MA2 standards? Not doing so can...

Welcome back to the two- wheeled world from Indiana USA!

Looking through this thread, I'm not sure where you stand @keithq. Do you have them working now? If not, have you checked the fuse? There is a separate fuse for the LED lighting control units. The control units are attached to the bottom of the headlight assembly and each has two connectors...

It looks like I fall in line with the majority. I like it but, the resolution could be better and while it closely resembles an FJR, it needs an FJR/Yamaha logo. Loose the top box altogether. They're not supplied on a new bike and add nothing to the looks of the bike regardless of the brand...

Congrats on the new "to you" ride. That's a heckuva deal!

Great guesses on the source of the FJR whine. Here's my take: #1 The gearset on the 2015 and earlier tranny's were straight cut gears and created a bit more "mechanical" noise but that's at a lower frequency and not the source of the whine. Besides, the whine is present on all years of...

I picked one up used when I still owned my genII and decided that it was a significant improvement over the stock seat. It's prettier too. I'm sure others will attest to what ever their fave is and, I guess I am doing the same. The only two seats I have experienced on my FJRs are the original...
