I made the mistake of buying my US imported fjr from Taz. Even had it serviced by them for the promise of a 3yr unlimited mileage warranty. Bad move. Had issues with the wiring after the first winter, starting to corrode I was told. The first couple they tidied up, but then said the warranty...

Glad to hear so many opinions that it's unlikely to be head gasket. Never had one go on a bike, but two on cars. One gradual that made a mess of the ali head and the other. Suddenly. History on the bike is all services as per yamaha schedule as the extended warranty is dependant on it, it's...

Finally decided to try a bike touring holiday and decided on going to corsica. This involved riding to dover and across the channel then riding to paris. We used the overnight train to nice (mates wife wanted to cut mileage) and then on ferry to corsica. Problems started after leaving train...

Mine always seemed to reset with every tank. When I fill up I'm in the habit of reseting the trip, previous bikes never had fuel gauges. I always assumed this would reset the avg mpg, hence it always changing with every few miles. It's been stuck on 37 mpg for more than a 1500m now, that's not...

Uselesspickles, it's not a problem with how it's working out the consumption it's that the computer has stuck on 37mpg. The instant consumption is still working and if I thrash it on the commute the avg normally drops to around the 32mpg mark and if I'm careful I can get it up to 40mpg, but...

The trip computer on my 08 FJR (US import to the UK) shows the avg. fuel consumption as being 37 mpg (us gal) and appears to be stuck at this. I noticed a while back the fuel gauge dropped to show reserve just as I started it, even though there was plenty of fuel left. Not unusual when first...

I saw the details about the ignition switch on here and had mine changed. It wasn't a recall issue in the U.K, but mine is an import and other than the time taken in getting the part, no problems. After picking up the bike last week I did 220m on Wednesday and then another 190 on Friday, no...

Picked the bike up this afternoon as the garage couldn't find anything wrong or get the bike to play up after taking it out for a 40m run. I filled it up and put injection cleaner in and took a slightly longer way home to give it a 35m run. Seems ok. I'll be doing about 220m tomorrow so lets...

The temp did rise a lot, it's been hot here in the U.k for a couple of weeks for once, but the temp came down once I hit the motorway and the fans were working normaly. I thought about muck in the tank as I've had this before, but in a carbed bike and that would cut to 3 cylinders. Wasn't sure...

Riding back from work last week I was riding along the motorway. It was very hot that day and the bike had been left running a couple of times whilest I was off it, but it had cooled down again on the motorway no problem. I noticed that as I opened the throttle passing cars it gave a slight...
