I left mine out all winter (in Birmingham, AL area). Had no problems using this cover: https://www.carscover.com/Yamaha-FJR1300A-Ultrashield-Motorcycle-Cover-Motorcycle-Cover-P180-SP4606NB.html

Thanks everyone for the replies to my post. I'm "over" the embarrassment and a little wiser from the experience. I was able to get a new fender over nighted into St. George, UT along with mounting hardware (and I bought six extra windshield screws to keep around). The fender seemed to be...

So I’m at 1100 miles of 1800 on day three and my front fender comes off at 65 MPH. It’s embarrassing because I’m riding with my Dad who has a 03 VTX 1800 with 40,000 miles (of course he’s had no issues). I’m at 21,000 on a “touring” bike and stuff is falling off. I get to Utah (from Alabama)...

The difference that I see is the Good Navigation requires the cellular network. The NDrive works off net which guarantees you'll have GPS when the phone is not working (be sure to have extra memory on the SD card). I can't actually compare to Google as I'm new to Android and the navigation...

Just loaded this on my Android. Haven't had a chance to try it yet. Looks like they have a 7 day trial if anyone is interested in giving a try. https://www.ndriveweb.com/

There is more on the two who started the company in the Birmingham News today. I am unable to find this article online but was able to find this: https://blog.al.com/businessnews/2010/01/bi...ams_with_m.html Pretty exciting to see this company come around and be so close to home. I expect...

Details are hard to find. Not sure where this one will be going. https://www.motusmotorcycles.com/statichome.html

I was afraid of this answer. Oh well... Maybe one day I can upgrade. In the meantime I'll just ride with plain ole breaks like so many have before me. Thanks for the reply!

I bought my 2005 FJR used about a year ago. One regret is the bike has no ABS. I'm wondering if it's possible to convert the bike to an ABS system. Has anyone ever done this? I can't find any discussion on the forum about this topic and thought I would throw the question out there. Thanks!

Wondering if anyone has tried this? https://www.cooladvantage.com/

Thanks to this forum, I was able to get the bike up. I remember several months back finding a link explaining the technique and how to get a bike back up to normal position. Even with the technique the FJR was no light weight. I'm sure there are heavier bikes but I'd have to say mine is...

Yup... She was on the centerstand.

Last Wednesday morning I go outside to mount up for the daily commute. The FJR is outside and it's earlier than normal (6 a.m. and still dark out). I rock the bike back and then forward to get off the main kick stand. Before I could realize what is happening the bike begins to lean to the...

O.K. I've looked for this in the forum with no luck. About a month ago I installed my new (no cut) frame sliders from Motovation on the 05 FJR. I installed the right side first, then went to the left side only to realize that I had the spacer in the wrong place on the right side. So after...

PLEASE post pics when all is finished and on the bike. I am looking forward to seeing it all finished up!!

I agree with the above quote! I think we tend to gravitate towards "the awesome wonder of such a perfect machine" a little to much. Maybe a thread for ways Yamaha could make an even more perfect FJR? This would at least save future generations money on all the extra number of falkles. Lords...

Sounds like great fun. I would love to hit that area again. Unfortunately I'll need to stay in Alabama this weekend. Thanks for the invite though!

Just wondering if anyone is coming to the Barber Vintage Festival in the Birmingham, AL area? Looks like an interesting weekend. Hopefully the weather will be nice. https://barbervintagefestival.org/index.html

The original owner told me the grip warmers were from Yamaha. At this point I don't know what they are. They served the purpose but now I have to fix a problem caused by someone being lazy. Anyway... The rivet problem must not be original to me and this bike. I looked for one I could borrow...
