I use the KISS method of diagnostics ... The last thing I changed is 'probably' related to the problem.

Simple ... - Drop the Top Box - Add the Tuning Fork/ FJR logo - Use a real pic or better cartoon Ride more ... survey less.

Sorry for your issue. I just did the spark plugs a month or so ago. I raise the tank, prop it up with a piece of wood, and pull the 2 electric leads, and work in the remaining tight space. I have pulled the PC crap out and installed block off plates for more openness. I don't remove the...

I just smiled a little wider when I read this. I too am shorter than average, but I found a slimmer seat is more helpful (and cheaper) than shorter one. The path of least resistance is actually to raise your butt. I knew a pro rider from ROK that stood under 5'0" . She had boots fabricated...

Carter, Welcome to the fun! My son rides my 2003 and it's always a smile machine!!! Seats and windshields are all unique ... so pick up a used one of each and keep trying until you get a 'fit'. Eddie is right (and wrong) about CO. It's GREAT but so are MT, WA, OR and CA!!! DAMHIK

I Just got back from OR via MT. I loved the Interstate 90 from Bozeman to Butte, then Missoula to Lolo Pass (99 miles of curves) on Hwy 12!!! to Lewiston ID. I did it twice (once in the rain) and the visitors center has HOT CHOCOLATE!!!

OP, I also live in MN and just changed my Rear Drive oil. #1 Don't rotate the tire, just drain and re-fill. #2 Use Gear oil of suitable viscosity. I use synthetic every 25k miles. #3 Fill to the brim and snug bolts. No one has ever heard of a FJR having Drive issues if there is oil in...

I hope to do both tires tomorrow or the next day. Update ... Done in a buddy's garage in 2-3 hours. No Mar is good, Friend who helps run it is PRICELESS!!! Thanks Cookie!!! I got 2 trips to and thru Arkansas for 6k miles, and I barely got home. PR4 GTs don't last very long on AR roads...

Bad shifting clutch = Lube the shifter linkage (under rubber boot) = Change oil and filter = Flush clutch Dot4 fluid.

I love the precision of Mama Yamaha sales and marketing. If I skip breakfast I could save 2.15% and make it an even 1/4 of whatever... Looks great in 2022 and 2023! Cleaner than mine will ever be!

I've been told to ride it 1000 miles or more before changing it all to pieces. On my 2003 I thought the bars were too narrow, the seat was too hard, the screen was too small, and the bike was too fast! After 1000 miles or so ... I still thought the seat was too hard and got a custom seat...

CR, Ross is SO right about NOT using 5w-30... probably has slippery stuff to mess you up. I read that Shell didn't want to pay for the JASO testing/registration of the cheaper 15w-40 Dino oil ... so it certainly works, is cheaper , a lot thicker, and not JASO registered. I've used both ...

Blame the Super Tenere as it requires the use of the shorter oil filter. Mama Yama was smart (cheap) enough to eliminate 2 over-lapping filters and killed the longer version. FJRs can use either size. K/N and others offer both sizes (depending on the year you specify). So I specify 2003...

Rear Reservoir feeds both the right front link, and the rear caliper.

LFB, Ross is SO right! The shorter running time often does more harm than good. It may not fully re-charge the battery, adds extra fuel and could get flooded, adds water to the oil, and YOU have to do it on all 5 bikes? Just get a Battery Tender and move it to each bike for a day or so each...

"Long abandoned FJR" is not very compassionate (or accurate) after 20+ years of running an award winning platform. Based on all the newer technology on the Tracer ... I think ACC sounds like alot of BSS!

Filzy, Thanks for spelling it out in a word picture. ;)

Factory seat came off my 2013 within about 1000 miles. Been in my closet since then. Pm me for pics and /or more Q/A. Thanks, Roger Sale pending to Catch me in CA. Thanks, Roger

I have one complete and like new. $100 plus shipping. I may have a way to get it near Phoenix....

Good folks pick on Dealers (stealers) all the time. Gotta have the lowest price + great staff, good location, shop equipment, even free loaners and/or storage. Gimme a break!!! Having a Sales/ service/ parts place available and friendly to walk-ins is the BEST! I always frequent my local...
