What's a fair price for one? I'd like to have both a stock seat for local riding and a Russell for trips with my wife. Joe

From what I read here your mileage doesn't seem too far off, but if you think the PC might be set on the rich side, I'd simply remove it. Your FJR has an oxygen seosor in the exhaust that keeps the air/fuel ratio very close to where it should be under cruise conditions. Let the system work as...

That's very funny. I have a travel job that keeps me on the road a lot. (last year I flew 48 weeks) As a result, I spend an above average amount of time in public bathrooms. In the last 3 years I have seen a serious increase of window shoppers and gay guys trolling the urinals. It's a good...

You got a fantastic deal! Congrats on the new ride. Joe

Congrats!! Now if it would only warm up. Joe

Then you can't go wrong with a 250 XC-W. They are easily jetted (and this is NOT the case with the 300 XC-W) and have a great combination of torque and speed. I don't believe there is a better woods bike than the KTM XC-W bikes. Joe

Thanks everyone for the help. I'm not sure how it's all going to shake out yet, but I'm still more excited about getting a new bike than I am worried about the details. :-) Joe

If you're OK with getting an AE, there are a lot of them available for $10,000.00 right now, brand new. go to www.craiglook.com Search "Yamaha FJR" Sort by price. Find the bikes listed at 10K. There are a least a half dozen brand new ones at dealers for that price right now. Joe

Hi David, The normal frequency of O2s is probably 3-5Hz. Pretty slow. The resistance of the O2s don't change. At around 700F the O2s become little batteries capable of producing 1V in the absence of oxygen(rich), and 0V in the presence of oxygen(lean). To check them with your oscilloscope...

I am requesting help from any Forum Member that has sold a bike over the internet, or through this Forum. I have agreed to purchase a bike that is offered for sale here. I am in NY, and the bike is in North Carolina. The current owner of the bike and I only know each other through this sale...

Here's an example of how O2s can read. When warm they generally cycle above and below 450mV. The graphs of the top two 02s both have troubles. The top one doesn't cycle evenly above/below 450mV. It is biased slightly lean and the controller will add extra fuel on that bank to comensate for...

Sorry to hear that. Sucks scuffing up a brand new bike.

I may be new to the forums here, but definitely not new to buying helmets. I have broken and replaced more than I care to admit. Unfortunately I have had some practice buying new ones. My advice would be to NEVER buy a helmet without putting it on your head, unless it is exactly what you have...

You can rent Harleys at Eagle Rider in Phoenix, but not anything else that I know of.

I really resisted selling my bike when I started a family, and I'm glad I did. It would have been a lot of years before I could afford a new one. Thankfully I didn't have much money tied up in it at the time and could afford to keep it. I'm still riding that bike today, but should have a new...

Excellent. I'm surprised that the elecronics can take that! Good thing to know...

I admit to having zero experience on FJRs, but I've been working on cars for close to 30 years. If you subject a car to reverse polarity it can get pretty expensive. Very often any electronic module does not survive it. Spike protection diodes in all the relays can fry, and charging system...

If you don't have any power in the storage unit then your options are definitely limited. I wouldn't trust any of the solar chargers for unattended battery maintenence, but you may not have a light source in there either. You are going to have to remove battery and have it charged,or try jump...
