Jill, If I remember right I got my Moko frame sliders from https://www.whaccessories.com/YamahaFJR1300accessories.htm And this was during a group buy in late '03 when the '04s started being delivered. It was about $150 and no drilling the fairing to install them as with some other brands...

Changed the plugs at 18k (they looked good to me) for the iridiums. 3rd time to raise the tank &, like I continue to read, the front screws are hard to start cause the tank seems too far back. Soo this time, while the tank was up, I loosened the front tank mount & slid it as forward as I could...

O K trimmantom We all want to know. You mentioned . Please list the things that you, and the dealer, now know that would have the job of tick fixing go better. Exactly what parts were replaced and were any of then different than the original parts. New head bolts etc? Some of the guys & gals...

What they said and also (after grabbing & placeing foot on stand) twist to the right to face the rear & make your press, pull, lift etc. towards the rear of the bike. Try it, you'll like it. You'll look so kool cause it's so easy. Later,,,De :agent:

That word PRACTICE really jumped out at me. U gotta remember that however U PRACTICE, that's the way U'll do it in an emergency situation. Will U always be riding a bike w/ABS or just maybe U'll be riding U're buddys non ABS bike when that emergency situation comes up. U're not gonna have time...

Good explaniation slapnpop . Bottom line is it's normal and some tires do it sooner than others. I've got 16,.5Kmi on my front & I kinda like the sound it makes when leaned over in a turn because of the cupping. Later, De ;)

Yep, stockfjr U made me get my FSM out & look it up. In Pgs 18-24 in section 2. there is a Conversion table and a General Tightening Torque Spec chart along with the tightening torques of most bolts & nuts on the bike. Careful useing the General Tightening Torque Spec chart as a lot depends on...

Hot Off The Presses for '06 waiters. Houston, We Have A Problem!

Russ, Mine seemed right to me. It only has to be tight enough to keep it from turning & the outer nuts lock it in place. The only real problem (other than the center stand bolts were too tite & inserted from the wrong side) I found was that the shifter arm bolt was too tite causing the shifter...

U mean like these photos I stole? There was a thread on the old board about this & openion was that U have to have a grease fitting on one end and a removeable plug on other end so the grease could go thru the bearings and out the removeable plug. When I lubed my suspension I elected to...

No No RadioHowie I should have said "If you don't like my avatar, I've just got two words for you, read my lips of my avatar" Ha Ha Ha Later De

Guys, Guys, Guys----1st alternators-generators? Honda calls theirs ACG or Alternating Current Generators as ours is or just alternators, if you want. 2nd ours, as well as most motorcycle alternators, put out full current all the time depending on the motor speed. The only way to very the output...

Seem to remember a hint on removing wheel bearings was to use a large(one that just goes in) bolt with a slit cut in the end w/wedge inserted in slit. After inserting bolt from one end use drift to hammer wedge into slit which makes bolt too large for bearing hole & then bolt can be used to...

Guys, Guys---Get serious. All bikes have a front end wobble. That's how they steer streight or turn. They go left & self correct & go right & self correct and so on. Believe me, if you look at a tech drawing of a M/Cs path of travel you'll see this. Usually this wobble is so slight that it's...

Part # for the silver stars please for our FJR's

Yep, my '04 came way too high. Adjusted em down 10 to 20 turns (unscrew or counter clock wise to lower) ea to get them just below an average cars rear window. Used a towel to cover each one over to adjust the other to get em the same while shining on garage door. Best lights of any so far...

When U order your V46 from California Sport Touring you will actually order 3 parts. 1. the V46 topcase, which comes with a removeable black top cover 2. the top case cover in your year color (mine matches my '04 perfectly & this cover does snap & unscrew off but not easily) 3. New mounting assy...

A tite strap to hold the front wheeel steady, soft ties from the bottom tree, Canyon Dancers with almost no pressure on their tie downs, and tie downs near the rear for me. Works for a Wing on down. Trick is almost no pressure on Canyon Dancers, enough pressure on fork tie downs to compress...

I don't like big grips, but the Tacki Touring Grips was my final choice for helping the numb right hand thing. Unhooking the center return spring helped, Heli inserts (latest model) helped very little, throttle rocker helped a little but the Tacki grips did the most good...Later,,, De B)

yamaha1300rider, When the bolt head (it's next to the exh pipe) is cut off, the headless bolt can be pushed toward the center of the bike and removed. When installing the new bolts (from the inside please), put a washer behind the bolt head so the bolt won't be too close to the exh pipe and use...
