My wife has a couple of little Shi Tzus. I am thinking about getting a Saddlemen PC3200C Convertible Pet Carrier and riding one of the dogs around in it. One is too old, however the younger one really enjoys riding in my truck, my wife's car and my UTV that I use around my place. Does anyone...

That is one concern I have about Japanese bikes. I do all the maintenance that I can (not the heavier stuff like valve adjustment) on mine but I question the service techs at the dealerships. Their work is questionable and times I have gone behind them, I see shoddy work. Bolts that are not...

Thanks Redneck, they were closing out T31 GTs at Rocky Mountain ATV (GREAT PRICES). I got the GT but am an average rider at best. I ended up getting the front for 107 and the rear for 128. It came out cheaper for both than one rear Road 5. I know we are beating this horse to death but I will put...

A couple of oh by the ways, the low priced PR2s that were on Amazon a month ago sold out fast. I guess a distributor gobbled up all he could and made the quick sales after places like Revzilla and Cycle gear were sold out and pushing other tires. I did run across a deal from Rocky Mountain ATV...

Agree 100% hppants. PS3s and PS4s cup out due to the aggresive perpendicular siping. I am a huge Michelin fan but not of these two tires. Had em on 2 separate bikes and never had issues with the PS2s like the 3s and 4s. The 5s don't have nearly as aggressive siping. I have had GTs on the FJR...

I have a PR2 on the rear and a Road 5 on the front. I loved the PR2 and ran them on my previous bike the FZ-1. I always had great grip and high mileage, I have had 3s on the FZ and 4s on the FJ and never cared for them as much as the 2s because they cupped out bad due to siping. So far the 5 has...

I may be going against the grain but if you do not have a lot of time riding a street bike, getting an FJR1300 as your first true street bike may be a problem and cause you to not enjoy the bike. I love mine but I had an FZ-1 as a sport tourer before I got my FJR. The weight of the FJR combined...

Been done, thanks though, Steve (goes by Sapest) listed a diagram that is listed above and I took care of it.

Between the two I would call the FJR1300 a Sport TOURER and the FJ9 and the Tracer 9GT a SPORT Tourer. I cannot see how anyone wouldn't think of the 9 as any other way. It has wind protection, cruise control, bags, great range, a spectacular engine, and a sporty frame. I love my FJR1300 but I...

I am happy with my FJR1300 because I am big, strong and manly. If that ever changes (which I doubt) I may look at something else.

Bill, I am not always right (you can ask my ex wife, she will vouch for me on that) but unfortunately it looks like the market is driving the motorcycle companies towards a lighter chain driven sports tourer or adventure bikes. I do hope I am wrong and that you are correct and that Yamaha will...

I never understood the term "no soul or no character". Those terms seem to come from H-D owners that would buy a moped if it was painted black and orange and had a Harley sticker on it.

Too many riders have moved from a large cc sports tourer to the adventure bike market. Whether you like it or not the replacement to the FJR1300 is the Tracer 9GT. The bike gets great reviews, and the market for sport tourers is going towards lighter weight better handling bikes over bikes like...

I agree with juniorfjr 100%. get exactly what YOU want! Try to ride it first though. Personally I had a BMW car (actually several members of my family had them at once) and we did have more problems with them than we did our other cars and I am a bit weary of their long term reliability. But...

Thanks Steve, I found the correct plug.

Thanks Steve, I looked and found what I think it is this morning, Is it a 3 prong obd?

I have never known a dealership to clear a code for free.

Where is the OBD port on the FJ. I went ahead and ordered a scan tool instead of taking the bike to the bike to the dealer. I checked under the seat and couldn't find it. Is is located near the battery.

Thanks all, it s a 2016 FJR ES. I guess that I will bite the bullet and get the dealership to clear the code. I live in NC

I pulled dumbski the other day by leaving the key in my bike, having it in the on position and running the battery down. Unfortunately it needed to be replaced. After changing the battery, it turned easily but didn't seem to catch fire. After cranking it a second time it started but the check...
