Everyone gets a sore ass in 45 minutes on the stock seat ... but we aren't sitting right behind you (whining). Try beads to make it 'bumpy'. Try Sheepskin to make it 'cushy'. Try Airhawk to make it 'floaty'. Try someone elses 'custom' to get her more input... but ultimately you'll get a...

Nothing wrong with Geico (or any well rated company) but they all have to make money. I find a broker who shops more than 1 company can help. I shop my car and home each year (with a multi-lines broker) and he suggested Dairyland for the bikes(s). I totaled my '02 Connie and they paid more...

My '03 was smooooth as silk ... and light and quick. My '13 is much more complicated .... porkier but still smooth all the way up to redline. (keep in mind I came from a buzzy Concours) . Since you found loose axle bolts, and this vibration persists, I would park that 'bad boy' and re-do all...

Judging by the title ... you must play golf... GLWS

The 'tuning fork logo' has always been their (Yamaha's) commitment to great instruments! Ours just happens to rock and ROLL a little differently....

OP, So glad it's working again. I had a similar issue ... not starting on the first try. I wore down the battery trying various positions for this and that. Then a friend (engineer) pointed out the FJR needs an ignition re-set to re-start. IOW you must turn off and on the key (NOT the kill...

Nice bike! Nice pics! GLWS Need more pics of the Garage Queen (GF).

I did the Flash with Ivan and it's smoother , faster, lighter , prettier, ... and the CC is unlimited. (so far as I know) . YMMV

I installed the newly flashed ECU from Ivan. Never took the plastic off, just the battery cover. Everything worked on the first try of the button (first firing up of the new year). I still like the SPORT mode best, vs the Ivan (linear ) mode or the touring mode. He made the idle up a little...

2 wheels are better than 4 wheels ! Judge not lest ye be judged ! I wave at all bikes ! YMMV

Gotta love Rotella Synthetic 5w-40... Gotta love Rotella dino 15w-40... So I mix them 1/2 n 1/2 to get a custom blend of 10w-40 for cheap! IMHO there is no need for higher viscosity in a quality water-cooled engine. YMMV

Beautiful pics! Watch out for ice (water) on the curves. I hope to get out soon....

Nice RR! PMS really does exist (up north).

Mike et al, I talked to the Michelin Man (Eric) at the IMS Show and he agreed to come talk to us about tires over lunch. Feel free to bring your questions , comments, and concerns to talk with him. No pressure to buy Michelin, but it may come up...

Gravy, I can get you the FSM on Friday or ??? Glad you found the 'real issue' and can fix it! I knew you could do it!

The Shop was the crappy part in this story... always get them balanced or you've added another variable to track down a problem. New tires are WONDERFUL! Out of balance sucks. The FJR does EVERYTHING better than me ... so I just go along for the ride!

Let a kid sit on a (cold) bike and make vroom vroom noises. It gives them a feel for freedom, but won't hurt them. Wait a minute.... this is what I do for therapy on a cold winter day ! PMS be damned !

Nope... Gen 1 is unique (no adjust-ability) but gen 2 and gen 3 are swap-able.

You sound smart... maybe we can do fluids and plugs and such. Then do valve check at 50k. Thanks for the tip! Tell me what to bring food-wise, and I will.

Mike, You are the best to keep this tradition going for years! I am due for a valve check (30k) and wondering if that would fit in your plans? If yes, would early that morning be ok... or better to come the night before? TIA, Roger
