    FJRF009.0: Ground Spider Research

    I did file mine. But honestly, I enjoy riding too much to wait for it to happen again. It was disturbing. And working with the local Yamaha dealer was something I don't want to do again either. The replacement harness was the same part number. I lost confidence in Yamaha, so I traded it in...

    what to bring for my first long road trip

    I just had a ground spider fry on the wiring harness. So now I also carry a few wire nuts in my tool pouch.

    FJRF009.0: Ground Spider Research

    Well, I picked up my bike on Saturday…. When I got to the Dealer, I was told by the guy collecting payment that the mechanic had to remove the flasher for my Kisan SignalMinder. And that the flasher caused my harness ground to fry… And he also vented some frustration about Yamaha only giving...

    FJRF009.0: Ground Spider Research

    My 08 died Friday night while doing a turn around on an incline. I thought I stalled it at first. All the symptoms fit a spider problem, but the dealer was bored with my story and said Yamaha never heard of anything like that. But he did say that, Yamaha suggested looking under the tank at the...

    what to bring for my first long road trip

    I carry a Canyon Dancer bar harness with me in case I need to use AAA. Makes tying down the FJR a lot easier and I wouldn’t want to depend on the tow truck to have one. Hope I never use it.

    Seat Rework

    Spenser did my seat and I’m very happy. Good man to deal with. You will like his work.

    shifting problems

    I have had the same problem while stopping. No warning, it just happens. Not often, only a hand full of times. Letting out the clutch always solves it and it’s hasn’t gotten any worse. So for me that’s a much better solution than having someone take it apart. Molly is having her 5k service...

    Soft Tail Bag

    I don't have a picture, but I'll try to take one. It may not be timely. It fits great and can act as a "kinda" back rest. I use the bungy straps that come with it to mount it. Easy on and easy off. Don

    stock seat mods by Spencer,s

    Spencer’s is a real deal. Frank reworked my seats and lowered the rider an inch. The lowering was great, but not for the obvious reasons. Now I sit “deeper” in the seat, which makes the bike even better balanced for me. A real nice surprise I didn’t expect.

    Hand Numbness

    Same thing happened to me. Before my first hour of riding was over I realized 2 things; how much I love this bike and… my hands are numb. For me the fix was loosening my grip, un-stiffing my elbows, and not supporting my upper body weight with my wrists. If you pay attention, you can change...

    Cheap FJRs in Florida

    Yep, saw a few of these also. https://tampa.craigslist.org/hil/mcy/986477577.html Started showing up 2 weeks after I bought a 2008. I emailed the guy and he said it wasn’t a typo.

    Kisan TailBlazer

    I installed the bulbs. They work great. I tap them when someone starts following too close. You notice people back off and keep their distance. People definitely notice them and act differently. First thing that went on my bike was sliders, second was TrailBlazers.

    Any 2009's out there yet?

    This is an interesting craigslist. “New 2009 for 11,779.00”. https://tampa.craigslist.org/hil/mcy/986477577.html I emailed and asked if it was a typo and they said, NO. They said they want cost plus $477.00 and have one bike left. Price includes tax and title fees. Doesn’t smell right. And...
