The mechanic at Yammy did check the radiator, it was hot all over, so the thermostat should be ok. Right after filling the radiator and the reservoir I rode some 20 mins to the dealership and during that the temps behaved ok. I of course had a gentle and low rev ride. When we stripped down the...

MCA, my deepest condolences for the loss of your wife, the whole finale has been heartbreaking. Now, go riding and keep posting here.

In fact I did also fill up the radiator, but it was also a very tiny amount. The pump itself looks ok, shaft and bearings are nice and greased, no bits anywhere

Forgot to mentiion the bike is 2008 AE, 70 k km, no other engine problems so far

I am on my 3 rd day of this year's trip around Europe. Were doing some spirited ride in Denmark when I suddenly noticed the temp gauge had only 1 bit missing from maximum! Looked at the coolant reservoir, it was empty. Dang! Got to the first car shop on the road, added coolant to the reservoir...

Ok, guys, many thanks for your help. Shuffle could be an option to consider, The only downside is that not all the songs on my iphone I care to listen. And i do have all sorts of crap there :) rbentnail :yep, I do like the irish folk-rock, as well as scotch. Ever heard of Runrig?

Did my first ride this season today and tested the new Zümo 595LM + Sena 20S +iphone 7 combo. Works great, just one question though: if I want to search the artists from my iphone through Zümo I would need to scroll down them in alphabethic order and it takes a long time to arrive to those with...

https://www.topsellerie.com/en-ee/yamaha-fjr-1300-2006_367.html check here, everything depends on how you want it. As for comfort, I have done all my long European trips on this, usually 10-12 hours a day at least. I do get some discomfort issues after 2,5-3 h of continuous ride, but it is ok...

I do have exactly that same seat, with gel. I am pretty happy with it, its at least much better than the stock seat. I don't have any experience with Russel DL though, can not compare.

Thanks. PM sent to OP

In Russia nobody wants to meet with a police after a crash, because the outcome of it has nothing to do with whos' fault it was. It's just about who has more money to pay them. I am sure the mc rider suspected, and rigthly so, that the truck driver has somewhat thicker wallet.

Well, actually jumpstarting with a running car can potentially be harmful for your car electrics itself. Like burn down some diods on your car's alternator. Voltage drop!

Do you have any picture how it looks when mounted with gps?

I have had few cases, when pushing the start button on my 08 did not activate the starter, nor did it click the starter pullrelay. Fuel pump went on with ignition. Needed to press couple of itmes, then the starter would engage. Yamaha mechanic said it is time to replace the start button. Maybe...

I was travelling around in Australia this spring. Although I was driving a rental car, on many roads I wished I had a bike. For example B78 from coast to Armidale is a very nice biking road indeed with few cute towns on the road like Bellingen. This is some 200 miles north of Sydney. Then we...

Rich, I have a very good friend in Norther Ireland, I am sure he would volunteer to have few pints of Guiness with you. I sent you a pm with his contact details, give my very best regards to him.

I have it. It certainly is a much better seat than the OEM seat, but I can't compare it with RDL, Laam or others as I have not tried those. I've done many long trips on it around Europe and me and my wife are very ok with the comfort it offers. 800 km a day is no problems. Sure you need some...

I forgot to upload this as well

I was 16 when I got my MC license and my first bike (earned the money for it myself at summer job at farms) . Just about a right age to start.
