    Louder Horn any recomendations?

    one of my first of not that many Farklekarkles...Magnum Blasters & Randy's harness.....watch your clearence inside your front fender area........magunums come with metal plates which you may want to use instead of stock...make sure you clear your cables in the fender.

    71 year old cage driver

    I'm truly sorry you had that happen to you. Hopefully you heal rapidly and are good as new. I'm always a bit leery when I see cages ready to turn .... it's not so much fun always trying to be on the defensive....I believe that all motorists should all be required to sit through a driver...

    So long new 2006 FJR!

    I have the twitchiness too. I think it may be a lean mixture...sounds like it needs a tune of sorts. I will wait for the PCIII and se if anyone has good results with it.

    Grip Puppies reduce jerky throttle

    I have em. They're a good inexpensive way to have a tad more comfortable grip. Still jerky with them but, it's the only mod I have so far. I'm hoping to do the barbarian jumper with a local FJR owner or get a power commander. Has anyone from the vegas area lent their bike to dynojet for a free...

    Question pertaining to a sound/vibration I'm getting

    dealer service mgr said it was the noise with no load on the engine from the shift forks...nothing wrong with my bike.

    Taming the beast

    grinding noise solved by different dealer...the service guy said it was the noise from the shift forks...when bike was in neutral and quickly revved. No problem...a relief.

    Taming the beast

    Can someone try this and tell me the result. When the bike is warmed up and in neutral.....I give the throttle a quick rev and as it reaches the the highest point of the rev and deccelerates it has a grinding sound ...must be in the engine because the bike is in neutral. Is this normal. I just...

    Technical Bulletin on 17mpg Issue

    simple..just have the dealer write on their letterhead how many miles were on odometer at the time of change. BFD. Thanks Tony! I want mine fixed.

    Know what I hate about my new '06?

    Some of you comedians out there may take this a bit further just for a laugh. So be it. I started using this machine in the gym that improves grip strength. My thinking....instead of changing the FJR, maybe I need to change. This relationship is two sided. My new philosophy....why do the...

    Question pertaining to a sound/vibration I'm getting

    When in neutral when I blip the throttle fast, it sounds like a vibration or grinding sound. Does anyone else have this? Will you try blipping the throttle with a fast turn and see what it sounds like? Thanks.

    Taming the beast

    I'm serious about this but too tired to go into detail...so. I think we (2006 Owners) need to write letters to Yamaha pointing out the control issue with our new bikes.....asking for a fix. It won't cost us much more than a few minutes of our time and a stamp. It seems to make sense to me...
