While watching the video of operation of the YCC-T, I came across this. Later,,,De

Dang, cruise worked fine for 3 weeks & has started blinking again. I'll have to take it in (1st shop time for either FJR since I bought my '04 in Sept '03). I guess I'll get some use of my 4 year warranty. More to follow, De

A while back the cruise lite would go out but I could click it back on right away. This happened once a ride but within a week got more frequent. The next week it would start blinking during a ride and I couldn't reset it till I turned the key off. Within 2 weeks it would just blink when I...

Yep, it won't set w/light flashing

Yep, 1st FJR problem since I bought my '03. Was riding my 2013 w/cruse on, but not set and cruse light started blinking. Only way to reset it is to turn key off. Doesn't do it right away but after a minute of riding. Did change rear tire about 500 mi ago (and light just now started blinking)...

At one time, there was a photo of a sub frame with extra welded gussets. Anybody know where that photo is located?

Since they didn't do the required pre delivery test ride, makes me wonder what else they didn't do. The pre delivery check off form isn't just for fun. My 2013 is my 2nd also & I hope you like yours just as well. I'm not a doom day, type of guy, but a dealer takes a big risk, not going by the...

There is enough slack in the cables & wires for all 3 positions. I had to cut off the zip tie on the wire bundle to move the bars back to the close position. Moving them back does change both the angle and height and the closeness but only slightly. It is easy to do. After removing the little...

Yep, the TBS can change your idle speed-it did when I did the TBS on my '04 at least. The few times I did the TBS it was only out a little and made only a slight difference as it adjusts the smoothness at idle only. Since the '13s require the shop tool to adjust the idle, I'll live with the idle...

Rep or not-I have no idea. They all had on "Star" lab coats. The one FJR in their demo fleet was a '13. H-D was the only one who just turned them loose & told them to "Follow the arrows" whereas the others had lead & trail riders. I did notice one of the Victory lead riders, ride home on his...

I was helping w/H-D demo rides all last week at the “Bikes, Blues & Bar B Que” event in Fayetteville AR. Yamaha also had a demo unit there & I got to talk to one of their reps. When I asked about the upside-down forks for 2014, the rep told that there was no such thing! I moved away from him...

My take on this is; sell wife’s bike as she shouldn’t be riding if she is uncomfortable riding it (we ride for fun, right & it sounds like she is not having fun). Keep the FJR for your riding solo as it is a great compromise (there are no perfect bikes). Get a Wing for your 2 up riding (so both...

Yep to the above. Ya really gotta try it barefoot, in the cold, to tell a difference. There is just a touch of heat on the ankles. Later,,,De

Still on this thread------If I let my ’04 FJR get real low on fuel, in 95+ hot weather, it lets me know the tank is a single walled radiator. There are lots of double walled exhaust pipes but I’ve not heard of double walls on tanks. Sorry about your dents, wherever they came from but I would...

Yep the ‘03s didn’t have the small 45 degree brace from the horizontal tube over to the vertical tube. The ‘04s on have it. Later,,,De

In the 60k mi+ on my ’04 I only did a TBS 2 times and it made a slight change, but I’m not sure it was worth the trouble. After all, you are just adjusting the smoothness at idle, right? Both times I had to adjust the idle speed. I had already decided to not do any TBS on my ‘2013 but now that...

Yep modified fly by wire, with throttle cables. Check it out (and watch the video at the end) https://www.yamaha-motor.eu/designcafe/en/about-design/technology/index.aspx?segment=About%20Design%20-%20Technology&view=article&id=442635 And another at...

Yep mine sets at 81, or so, also and anything above won’t set or advance to. Checked my Road King and 88 is its set to/ advance to limit. Haven’t ever checked the H-D speedo to a Garmin but I think it is pretty close. Now my old ‘GL1500 was different as you could go max out & hit set & it would...

Let me see now, retired @ 57 & been teaching MSF and other riding classes since, these last 18 years & lovin it. It’s not for everyone & at times it’s not easy but it’s all fun money which allows me to buy a new bike every few years. Try it, you just might like it. Later,,,De

I have noticed, in the S mode, that the ECO button is only on with steady throttle. Any twist of the wrist it goes out, where as in the T mode, you gotta twist pretty good to make it go out. This tells me that T mode=better gas milage. I can't ride a tankfull in either mode to find out! Later,,,De
