    Frozen Tach and Speedo Needles

    Has any one seen this problem before? When I disconnected and removed the battery from my otherwise bulletproof 08 for our long, dark Canadian winters the tach and speedo needles did one sweep of the gauges like they normally do upon start up. Problem is they did not return to "0" They both...

    Average age of FJR owners

    42 with 25 years of riding. The FJR is the best bike I have ridden in a quarter century!

    What year FJR should I get?

    Yup, 08 needs the ignition recall done. Other than that, the 08 is solid. No outstanding electrical issues. The black looks fabulous but is work to keep clean. Enjoy.

    New Bike Prices

    Often the rebate programs from the manufacturer to dealer change what the dealer can let a bike go for. For example the rebates on the 09s were $1000 but the rebates to dealer on the left over 08s were only $200! That meant a new 09 was cheaper than a 2 year old brand new 08. Ask the dealer...

    Yamaha Sales Predicted Down 20%

    Many of you folks will remember the early 80's till about '87 when a similar thing occurred to the motorcycle industry for different reasons. Dealerships going under, tarriffs on stuff 750cc and over. Then, things turned around and we had the scenario another poster spoke of; HD charging over...

    Rear Fender Plugs for black 2008

    Thanks brother, I will check them out. Can't believe the original owner chucked them. But, thought, maybe someone else had theirs kicking around their garage after selling or (gasp) crashing their bike. Will check it out.

    Rear Fender Plugs for black 2008

    Does anyone out there have those little rectangular fender plugs that cover the holes in the fender when you remove the saddle bags. There are two on each side and I am looking for all four at a reasonable cost. I bought a great used 08 in Raven but the original owner didn't know what they...
