    The best year for the FJR1300

    My first '05 was too flimsy. Couldn't stand up to a big pile of granite rocks. Got to really love the electronic shift on my '09 after a while, but I missed the CC 'cuz it came along after I had it on the '14. And that red on the '14 sure was pretty. But I'm really starting to like my new...

    Norcal Riders Heading to Spearfish

    I just made the final decision to make this rally, got the room and dinner set up today. And of course the new FJR! I've often ridden with JREW, but he's heading there by way of somewhere up north--like PNW north. I don't want to push the miles on this long trip so I'd like to ride with...

    My First NEW FJR!

    I wrote it all up on the other/another forum, so this is easier than saying it all again. https://www.fjriders.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=7538 It's my long post toward the bottom of page one of this thread. Long and sad.

    My First NEW FJR!

    Just want to announce the arrival of my FIFTH FJR! This one a leftover 2023 that had a very nice markdown at Roseville Yamaha (yeah, Roseville Motorsports now, but it's still Yamaha to me). I was having some grief from the low-milage 2009 I bought last year and wanted to be able to depend on...

    Hi there, I need help and am new

    I had that mysterious Fast Starter Syndrome happen too and it was a real WTF moment--it was exactly as RossKean described. Started it after several days of sitting idle and for whatever reason I shut it down within seconds--might have even been by accident, I don't remember. By now you've had...

    Tire sealant? Roadside flat fix

    I never heard of this stuff, so I googled it. After I got past the first few hits about a Jackie Chan movie, I found their website, which begins: "Ride-On Tire Protection is a line of gel-like tire sealants . . . " Thanks for the heads-up. Guess I'll pass.

    Sold 2014 FJR1300

    I don't want to get into a bidding war with you, Scoot. And I'm NOT looking for one silly boy. Commas are important.

    Going to See the Eclipse?

    We all know about the eclipse coming in April, right? A LOT of us will be right in the path of it, or within a very reasonable distance. You do NOT want to blow it off; it will be one of the most amazing and memorable sights you will EVER see! Don't believe me? Just watch this short TED...

    More luggage options

    I happen to have the same bag(s) RossKean linked to, and they're perfect. Cost is very reasonable, easy to access all the contents, and absolutely waterproof. The smaller one doesn't block my mirror view, the larger one does somewhat. I just have to lean a little farther when checking the...

    Florida's tallest waterfall

    The oil well thing reminded me of something I recently learned: for those who've been around the Lost Coast in Cali, you could recall seeing the community of Petrolia in Humboldt County. Happens to be the site of the first producing underground oil well in America. Hence the name. And nearby...

    Snow is ********

    Didn't really agree with the title of this thread. I grew up in Syracuse--pretty snowy there. I loved winter. I always thought it was the most beautiful time of the year, we had all kinds of fun sledding (lots of hills), snowball fights, we used to hop on the backs of cars (remember bumpers?)...
