    Gen II Accessory Wiring for grips and gps

    I have begun farkling my FJR. I am getting ready to install my zumo 660 and some oxford heated grips. I would like to use the exsisting accessory wiring for the grips and GPS. For the GPS I will take into power for the cig lighter port in the glove box. For the grips I would like to use...

    Heated grips

    I installed the KTM grips on my A990 prior to the Tenere.... Those are some hot grips there. I picked up the Oxford for my FJR. Yamaha is too proud of their heated grips. Have yet to install them.

    Cautionary Tales about Seth Laam!

    I absolutely think that is the case. When I was having my seat done, Seth and I discussed how difficult its been for him to find quality help that sticks around.

    Cautionary Tales about Seth Laam!

    Seth is a one man show, and he desperately need to expand to accommodate his growing business, this unfortunately leads to some ridiculously slow turn around times on his seats. I had my Super Tenere seat done by Seth back in 2014. At the time I was living in Seattle so I rode the 600 miles...

    Heated grips

    I have purchased the Oxford Adventure Heated grips, and they sit in my garage waiting for install. I am going to installed them once my Throttlemister arrives and I can break away from my three kids for a bit. Question on the wiring of the Oxford grips. Did you connect them directly to the...

    How hard do you run your FJR, and how often?

    I would be more worried about where you ride than how hard you ride. When I was looking at FJRs, I looked at one that was rode to prudhoe bay and back.... It only had 20K miles on it but it felt odd. Worn. Every bike I have owned I rode hard. My brother and I shared our first bike, he use...

    2006 vs 2008 FJR1300

    Deal is locked in, should be doing the exchange this weekend. I'm pumped. There was a little dealer remorse for offering me $7200 on the Tenere. Don't really feel that bad about it. I am sure they will make money on the FJR. Can't wait for spring.

    2006 vs 2008 FJR1300

    I would love to keep both, but I have three kids in daycare. It was a hard sell as it is. It will be a one bike household for a while... I am excited to get back on a capable touring bike. The Tenere was fun when I lived in WA state and had the Cascaded to rocket through. This year I...

    2006 vs 2008 FJR1300

    I got begrudging spousal approval so I am going to pull the trigger on the 2010.

    2006 vs 2008 FJR1300

    So I looked at a 2006 blue today, it was nice, didn't make an offer. The owner said he was having hard time with the wobble of death but finally found a tire combo that worked... That kind of scared me away from that bike. I have not heard of any other FJRs that had the wobble of death. I...

    2006 vs 2008 FJR1300

    I guess I really need to test ride them. My ideal exchange is a direct trade for an 08. Which I am in discussion with someone who is interested in just that. I am going to look at the 06 tomorrow morning to see what I think. I am in no rush, there is 6" of snow on the ground here its...

    2006 vs 2008 FJR1300

    Market saturation perhaps? The prices I listed are reflective of Kelly Blue Book Value. 7K for a 10 is a screaming deal compared to local availability here https://www.kbb.com/motorcycles/yamaha/fjr1300a-abs/2010-yamaha-fjr1300a-abs/suggestedretailvalue/...

    2006 vs 2008 FJR1300

    Good to know on the 2006, it could have many more miles. I will ask.

    2006 vs 2008 FJR1300

    Hi everyone, I am working on selling my super tenere and buying an FJR. Is there major differences between the 2006 and 2008 FJR. From my research it seems its mainly throttle feel has been improved. At the moment I am considering a really clean, blue 2006 FJR with a few sparkles, the guy is...
