HOLY CRAP!! :blink: What am I doing wrong?? Seriously, tires are my #1 issue w/the FJR and is causing me the most grief (having to reroute, plan short, etc)... so much so I actually had thoughts of selling the bike I was so frustrated on my last jaunt (details: HERE). I've not tried the PR2...

Been meaning to update this - the last few wks have been jam packed with memories. Not sure where to begin, so how about with my two favorite Rancho Cordova forum members: :D (Thanks, Rog & Deb!!!) Rog and his FJR: (He is wearing special prototype footwear that is not available for...

Thanks so much for all the support. Anyone who spends time on the road knows it means a LOT. As far as answering the questions I've rec'vd.... *I'm running Avon Storms and really hoping for 7k out of the rear. This will require significant right hand restraint while in areas that beg WOT. Ugh...

I'm a few days away from departure for a 10,000+ mile adventure, which I'm calling "FJR Fall Full Circle". :clapping: It might still be summer, but I'll be on the road until mid-October. Thought I'd post this up since I'll be meeting several characters, I mean forum members, along the way as...

I just got your PM a few minutes ago-sorry for the delay, I don't log on frequently to receive PMs. For those who will undoubtedly be researching this issue and perhaps reading this thread about what the heck to do about their oil drain plug drama, I've just posted this: HERE Oh, and if you...

Something like this look familiar on your bike? After several recent posts about folks stripping their oil drain plugs, I offer the following... the loan of my Time-Sert repair kit. You do indeed have the option to freak out, contemplate giving up riding, sell/trade your FJR, or even...

Hope this works I'm posting this via my Blackberry. Sorry for your hassles. You are welcome to use my Time-sert kit and fix your bike. I have extra inserts. It's an easy fix and you'll never look back. Whatever you do don't let a bunch of stealership buzzards take your passion for 2 wheels away...

HUGE +1 on the Time-Sert, speaking from experience (albeit on a different bike). I wrote a report w/pics should you need find yourself needing to access such information: HERE Best wishes for a successful and speedy resolution. AGirl

Quoting myself seems weird, but.... :rolleyes: ...just wanted to add with 140,000+ miles (albeit not all on my FJR), my Nelson-Rigg CL350 tank bag is going strong and is still my all-time fav tank bag. AGirl

A big THANK YOU to all those who contributed to making this recall happen. There are likely many others like myself who are not active forum members who benefit from folks that have extended time and effort such as this. Again, thanks! :good: AGirl

Hmmm, this sounds interesting, especiallly since I heard while I was in Sacto recently that some of you are rather fine, upstanding folks. :P Plus, I owe TWN a personal handshake for keeping his ear to the ground for me on that ECU issue last fall while I was on the road. So, is there camping...

LOL, TWN... on my Strom (er, DL1k), no problem 2up camping. I'd just really like to take the FJR, especially since it was parked most of last summer w/the dreaded Altitude Sickness-ECU thinggy. Been dreamin' lately of the Icefields Pkwy w/Dad and the FJR.... just trying to see if I can make this...

I realize there are other threads on camping with the FJR, but I'm looking for pics (or detailed descriptions) on 2up camping, especially packing the bike? Solo camping I've got covered so no need to post those details; I'm strictly looking for suggestions for 2up. I'm making plans for more...

:clapping: A big THANK YOU to all who offered help above, and especially to Rog & Deb, who held my bags, then had pizza and another FJR pair (Rick & Karen) waiting upon my return: Two thumbs up also to Zac at Roseville Yamaha for fitting me in and making my FJR happy again: :thumbsupsmiley...

An unexpected change in plans has me rolling into Sacramento this Thursday late afternoon/early evening (08May08) to meet a passenger at the SMF airport. I'll be arriving with my camping gear and need to offload 2 bags from the FJR to make room for the pillion. I'm hoping to find someone who can...

Gotta love those "Pumpkin People" pictured above as well as the OEM FZ-1 mirrors (least I do)! :clapping: I yanked the stock mirrors off my 07 as soon as I got the FJR since I have a strong preference for monitoring aft activity and for seeing around camping gear I tend to haul far and wide...

Once again, this thread need a photo (assuming this is the appropriate thread)! So, here's mine: Fireworks for the FJR's new ECU since I made it to 7,200 feet! :clapping: However, despite 2,000 miles on the new ECU, I'm not ready to make any final conclusions since all 2k have been WOT...

Appreciate the positive feedback and support. :) More reports have been posted, but I'm guessing the last two will be of certain interest. They are: HERE and HERE Now if I can just get rid of my triple digit issue... :sadsmiley: AGirl p.s. Thanks again for the help, Russ!

Thanks for the direct email and link, Nice Rumble. Sadly, I didn't know about this shindig when I frolicking in the area (my reports: HERE). Perhaps next year make a run for the floating bridge?? Bunch of FJRs surfing across would be a sight! :thumbsup: AGirl p.s. I swear this wasn't me! ...

FWIW, I'm on my 3rd front Storm. Tire #1 got 9,100, mostly high speed. Tire #2 was having issues at 5,400 miles. I wasn't in a position at the time to take it off (was in Nowhereville), but finally removed it at 6,981 miles. :( My bro's 7 year old said “It looks like there is a snake in your...
