You mean like it's a bit harder to wheelie? :P FWIW, I don't notice any difference in the headshake w/different tire pressures, topcase on/off, sidecases on/off or full/empty. Hopefully I'll get this figured out here shortly though w/my tech (& best damn mechanic ever), Jim. AGirl

Tim, FWIW, I just bought my 07 there and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend D&H to anyone (and I avoid stealerships like the plague). :clapping: If you'd like to see exactly where you're going and who you're dealing with I wrote a full report on my experience obtaining my FJR that can be...

Sorry if I didn't make my post clear, but my wobble is felt w/o even letting go of the handlebars AND I experienced the wobble right out of the gate, er, crate; pinning this issue on tire wear wouldn't be my top hypothesis. AGirl

Don't know if you found your answer yet but I've got the new 2007 Service Manual and would be glad to help if needed. AGirl

Can you (or someone else) please explain in more detail this tension issue and throttle spring thing since 1)I don't hang out here often, 2)Search is not my friend, but you might be, and 3)I just came off a 1200 mile day wearing winter gloves and have no complaints... BUT, maybe there's...

Wingman, I feel your wobblin' pain.... FWIW, my 07 has B-stones, has 3,000 miles (but counting fast), has the wobble symptoms you describe though mine is apparent WITHOUT removing hands from bars, and has a date w/my head-master-mechanic since I'm now back in town since sumthin' ain't right...

Ok, Nick... there's your replies to fax to the omniscient Yamaha dude. :P (I'll see you guys Tues) Thanks fellow Feejers. Good to know where the truth can be found. :) AGirl p.s. Speaking of said ambient flux air sensor thermistoreous .... how accurate is this thing? It seems to read...

FZ1 (2001-2005) mirror versus stock: Thanks to D&H Cycle, test rode one side FZ1 and one side OEM... sold! WOW, what an improvement!! :clapping: I'm a rider - - I couldn't give a rats ass a/b what they look like... I leave such concerns to owners to fret about. Whoever posted the FZ1...

No... that's what the 2nd "not" is I poorly described above. Next contestant...... Um, ah, well.. the source is Yamaha... Nick at D&H Cycle spoke w/ Yamaha directly about this little mystery... confirmed *NOT* the temperature sensor.

What is this connector for? (Bike is 2007A, mystery item is located on right side of dash) Sources say it's *not* for heated grips nor sensor related to thermometer (temp reading on dash) AGirl

No problems on my 07. AGirl

How odd... I saw your bike today while I was at D&H. Sorry a/b the trailer thing but glad Nick got to the problem for you. Hope you have happier days in the future! AGirl

Greetings Diane, I feel your newbie pain with the search function, especially in regards to your need to acquire information about a tank bag ("bag" being a less-than-4 letters illegal search word). FWIW, I can recommend the Nelson Rigg CL-350 as a fine magnetic tank bag; high functionality...

Yes, I'm new 'round here so for those of you who have more total posts on the forum than some of us FNG's (Fantastic New Girls?) have miles on our bikes please keep in mind that 1)Search is not always FNG friendly and 2) neither are some of the responses. Remember, there was a time when you...

My thought exactly... my first post in FJRville here went into off-topic never never land and I'd like to focus on the thinggy if possible. I highly considered doing the same but was concerned w/a viable weather seal. What did you use, v65, to whack the thinggy and put in it's special place...

Grasshoppertte is trying to think in sport-touring and Yama-terms and indeed missing the bigger picture... o, THAT u-lock.. the one everyone lugs under the seat taking up valuable real estate? :rolleyes: So, I'm a Gen II Grasshopperette... got it. ;) AGirl

An aquaintance of mine has an 03 FJR w/118k miles - - one of my very best friends has been the mechanic for the bike since day 1. Can't give you specifics at the moment (I'm out of town) but I do know the bike has had minimal trouble. AGirl

Yup, I missed reading the 03-05 BOF facts since I own an 07... and my printed out and carry-at-all-times BOF for the 06 doesn't mention #1. :P That said, what is a U-Lock?? (searching "U-Lock returned 1000+ answers, none of which were helpful). While I'm at it, might you clarify what...

Doing a "Search" for an answer hasn't proved successful so... Just curious at this point since I'm using the space for the power block, but what was Yamaha's intended use for the plastic/area where yellow arrows are pointing? (on a 2007A). Looks like a specific fit for something but I don't...

Axeman speaketh the truth on all accounts.... Here's my fork mounted Moto Lights... in fact, just put on the 07 today: AGirl
