Ozzie, You should have a trusted FJR rider check out the bike at the far end before you buy. Buying sight unseen is fairly risky anyway. Ideally they should check for OBD codes, tire ages, and any factory recalls. Call the Yamaha mothership with the VIN for recall info: 1-800-962-7926 I...

Just a note: Package shipping (UPS, USPS, FedEx, et c.) is expensive. Truck shipping can be quite reasonable. Some shippers offer door-to-door service, or terminal-to-door service. Generally, terminal-to-terminal service is the cheapest. Take the package to a terminal at your end, and have...

IrishMick, In the USA, have your VIN in hand, and you can contact the Yamaha mothership directly, by phone or on-line: Yamaha mother-ship Yamaha customer service 1-800-962-7926 They will have the recall records for your FJR. The phone line is a real human, nice and chatty.

In case you need an Owner's Manual, you can get them from Yamaha, or here (click the green DOWNLOAD button). Owner's Manual

IrishMick, Welcome to the madhouse.! ;) Pull up a seat, and be among friends. At the risk of being obvious, since the bike is new to you, see if all turn signals do not work, first. You should have running lights ON when the bike is running. Try to see (visually) if the bulbs have one...

Gene, All IMHO, of course . . . I believe the "vents" are there to deform the fairing only for the rider's comfort. Set them IN for hot weather, and OUT for cold. I believe they just deflect cold air away from the rider when OUT. The air around a water-cooled engine won't do much about...

MisTer TwiSTer, I'd suggest checking that all the factory recalls (if any) are done or not. In the USA, have your VIN in hand, and you can contact the Yamaha mothership directly, by phone or on-line. Click: Yamaha Factory Recalls Or Yamaha customer service 1-800-962-7926 They will have the...

Bruce, Try to pull up on the brake pedal, and if it does not "live" at the top of the range, clean and lube the foot brake pedal pivot so the lever comes up fully. Less likely, but the same goes for the front brake light switch. A sticky brake lever will keep the brake light on and drain the...

If that is correct, then I believe your problem is simple. New handlebars caused it. You probably need to get a good ground to the handlebar switch. You need the bike wiring schematic to say which wire on the handlebar switch needs ground; do not guess. Yamaha turns on other things on the...

Bigdog, Common car relay in the diagram. It just plugs into its' socket like a power cord. Connecting a wire to a socket pin is really connecting the wire to the same number pin of the relay. Any auto parts store can show you a relay-with-socket. The relay plugs into the socket just like any...

Bigdog, Clip one lead to the negative battery terminal whenever you are checking for power.

I would expect power at the switch. For that, I would consult the manual and check fuses. You say there is an inline fuse for the horn, and probably the stock fuse where it should be. An electromagnet is a coil of wire. Put a Voltage on the wires from each end of the coil, and it becomes a...

Levs_Denis, Would you consider a heel shifter? Here is a DIY bolt-on for you: https://www.fjrowners.com/posts/1377117/ You may need to log on to see pix.

Not sure what you have there, but on my 2008, I drilled and tapped the lever pivot bolt head for a small machine screw. It does not need to be much of a screw, 1/8" (3mm) or so. Mounted the front with a washer and machine screw on each hand I cut the rear "C" end a bit deeper in the center...

Kebo, Looks good. My local public library has 3D printers. They will print out bike parts for small change, or even teach you how to do that yourself in their shop-classes. Care to share the .STL file for your rear fender extender?

Sporall, If you do not have the knob close to the glovebox, as seen above, then you do not have heated grips from the factory. OEM heated grips are extremely expensive., and they will not turn on when the bike is parked; they only warm up in flight. Many FJR riders have installed Oxford heated...

Warchild, Similar to the Kuryakyn: https://chromeglow.com/products/accessory-switches-for-master-cylinder-reservoir-cover-honda-and-yamaha-models Small-footprint handlebar switches: rockers (scroll down) https://www.pmrcomponents.com/pmrweb_045.htm momentary...

ecct1124, Most cell phones have an app available which includes a bubble level that reads out in degrees. Army Knife (multi-function app) is free and non-snoopy for Android phones, from GooglePlay.

ecc1124, Just for clarity, I think that the best remedy for wrist pain will be a comfortable set of conventional 7/8" (22mm) handlebars. The handlebar aftermarket provides for a wide range of sweep, height, angles, wingspan, pullback, et c. For the Gen2, all FJR handlebar switches and controls...

ecc1124, Link to a good thread. The steel adapters start at US$ 15.00 but you can spend a lot more. https://www.fjrowners.com/threads/vibration-tingling.159043/post-1375465
