Yes, it needs replacing. I shall order one later today. For now it's all cleaned and greased. My gear shift is no longer damped either, it snaps back into place nicely. UPDATE: Snickety gear service is resumed and 1st is happy 👍😁

I've not got as far as the foot operated mechanism but here's what I found so far. Clutch lever feels better and lighter so all very worthwhile. What looks like texture on the reservoir membrane was actually moisture.

Thanks for all the tips. At a first glance and before I start working on this, I notice the gear lever has a slow return to its rest position and feels 'gummy'. The clutch lever pivot I'm guessing has also not seen any grease for a while. I've no idea how old the clutch fluid is, so that's on...

I've recently noticed that my bike is developing an issue when changing from 2nd to 1st at low speed. Clutch stays engaged and I might be coming down from a higher gear without issue until I try to select 1st. On the lever, it feels like it comes up against a stop. Sometimes I can clear it by...

I have this tool from when I had a Royal Enfield, it was bought with the adaptor for that particular bike. Is this any use to me for the FJR? Not sure if I can get an ODB adaptor for it or even if it's compatible.

Is that under Vehicle Details, section D.2 ? If it is, there's nothing there on my V5.

This thread has been really helpful and I'm somewhat wiser about this now. Whilst none of these differences are serious, I do find myself feeling unsure about how I feel about the bike. I would without doubt find a temperature gauge and fuel consumption information useful in a unit of...

I've had my first ride on my new-to-me 2008 bike and I find the stock screen doesn't work too well at motorway speeds (I'm 6'-1") and I'm considering trying one of the clip on screen extensions. Does anyone have any conclusive findings on what works for these bikes? I've seen a few threads but...

Is there anything else unique to your bike such as emissions equipment that wouldn't normally appear on a UK bike?

That's interesting regarding fuel consumption. I had my first ride on it today and after around 80 miles the average consumption was around 37.5mpg I'm going to give the supplying dealer a call tomorrow and/or Yamaha UK. Although the check came back as negative there's clearly something unknown...

It's a 2008. I just ran a check on it and it's come back as not imported or exported. Odometer is in miles, speedo is in miles and there's no MOT reports for non-compliant lighting etc. I've messaged the dealer asking the question and to ask if they can change it with dealer only tools. It's a...

Thanks, at least I can stop looking now👍

I’ve had a look around and can’t find anything on this so thought I’d ask if it’s possible to get this changed. There’s nothing in the handbook that I could see. Thanks.

Thanks all for the info and pointers to resources. (y)

Thanks, I think that's a no then.

Do they have a dedicated button or are they accessed through a menu?

Actually, yes, it is. So there's my first dumb question! :oops::LOL:

I have a 2008 bike coming in little while, there was a lot to take in when I was viewing in the showroom and now I find myslef unsure about one two features and in particular whether or not it has cruise control and heated grips. Depending on where you read, some sites suggest that 2008 bikes...

I have a deposit down on a 2008 bike, expected delivery is about 10 days from now. Really looking forward to it. I have few questions in the meantime which I hope the collective can help with, I'll try and post them in the right place rather than here. I know you all know what they look like but...
