Hey Udjeni The first three digits of the VIN are the manufacturer country of origin code: JY4 = Japan; JYA = Japan; VG5 = France; 9C6 = Brazil and 5Y4 = USA. The 11th digit in the VIN is the factory location: A = Hamamatsu, Japan; C = Karagawa, Japan; O = San Pablo, Brazil; A = Saint Quinten...

Hey Blackarrow I picked one up at Walmart about 3 weeks ago. They had both the gray & blue w/ white European stripes. I put it together and liked the way the stripes looked so I order the stripes for my 06 bike as well. The difference is that the model's stripes are white & mine are gray. I...

Hey War Machine, Exact match to the stripe on the tank, it came from the same kit, (I think it looks a little darker in the pic, because it is more in the shade). Almost an exact match to the silver under the tank. "Looks factory" Installation was very easy, though I took my time. If I had...

Hey all, Just applied stripes to the bike, The European models come standard with these. I ordered mine through Premier Cycle Accessories. https://www.premiercycleaccessories.com/FJR...ALS_p/12500.htm My bike. https://www.cnqwst.net/cnqwst-1050_1.JPG Bob

Rickster, Just finished the TSR mod, finally got the wire to unwind 1 time. I would not have even attempted it today, but your pics made it look so easy. Thanks for the post. Cnqwst

Rickster, Thanks for the excellent photos of the TRS mod. I'm up to the point of grabbing the the wire with forceps. I let it go once, but I believe it attached itself without unwinding. The throttle still feels the same. Are you forcing the wire to the inside around the catch to unravel 1...

Riding in the SW. Colorado's San Juan Mountain ride (a.k.a. the million dollar highway, each mile of road construction averaged 1 million to build). I rode with the Roadstargallery (yamaha roadstars) in 2005. Started in Dolores CO, rode 145 S to Cortez. Then W on 160 to Durango. N on 550...

Good Evening, Trial & Error Elimination: Different possible configurations are generated, after a test of their "fitness", the good ones are retained, the bad ones or "errors" are eliminated. The fact that successful steps are retained leads to an irreversible accumulation, a "ratchet effect"...

Temp357, At 5'8" & 30" inseam the area that you refer to as the "bump" was wasted space to me. I am now in a pocket, and don't slide back when I throttle up. Tobin could have made the rider seat without the "bump" but he was copying another design of a Hayabusa seat that I liked. My wife...

OHFJR, The price was $225.00 which also covers return shipping via UPS ground. Tobin received my seat on June 19, & I got it back yesterday July 12. Tobin told me that if I was in a rush he could turn it around in 2 days +2 days, overnight shipping both ways. Of course I would pay the...

OrangevaleFJR, The reason I replaced the seat was because the stock seat would get uncomfortable (hot) to me at about 80 miles. I've ridden 1625 miles in 1.5 days on a another custom seat, (Mustang). I'll post my findings as soon as I can. bob

Hello all, Just got my seat back from TobinSeats, https://www.Tobinseats.com . It does actually feel like you're riding in the bike. The Windshield used to come up to my chin in the highest positon, now up to my nose. Only ridden around the neighborhood with it, hope to give it a real test...

UPSMAN, Only you know your values. Do you think it will achieve a goal in the face of an alternative for you? I have chosen the FJR for LD Touring. From the factory I think the bike is set up as more sport than tour. I think the bike will be perfect with a few mods. I have already added...

I'd already talked to the mechanic at the local yami shop. He said I would probably hear about the fix on this forum before he would from Yamaha. I think I'll go for the fix, I can deal w/ the title amendment better than the 17mpg on the bike. bob

Alex, If you have any unclaimed blue patches, I'll take 2 off your hands. Thanks, bob

Shu, Enjoyed the read on the Calsci windshield. Thanks, bob

Woody, Thanks for catching the error in the Quachita Mountains elevation. Actually my Magellan 700 does not even have an elevation as one of the statistics. I was going by what one of the other riders in our group who was using a Garmin, I don't know the model. I'll double check my stats...

FJR Pilots, Rode with Roadstargallery (Roadstar riders) to Eureka Springs AR. 1st day's ride out at 4:00AM to Lubbock Tx, (The FJR lighting is excellent) where I met up with up with couple of buddies & continued on to DeSoto Tx (Suburb of Dallas Tx). Really heavy rains through Weatherford...

Just ran across this link, https://www.pashnit.com/tobinseats.htm What I've read so far looks promising. Drops the seat height about 2" (???) Will contact Tobin, bob
