What's wrong with you guys. No one has mentioned the 2006, first year of Gen 2 , best looking and Fastest Blue yet!! Who needs CC, Heated grips, slipper clutches , ride modes or say it isn't so ....... a sixth gear! Very happy with mine, added Grip heaters for my hands, 1" bar risers for my...

Possibly but it would take some effort to pull it too far through the rim hole. If installed properly then a rubber one shouldn't pull out or blow out. A metal one with the inside nut wouldn't seal in the first place if the nut was loose since the o-ring is on the outside. I'd be interested...

I don't think its possible for the valve stem to blow out unless it was defective or wrong size. It is possible that the rubber was rotted enough to crack and leak but even then it would be unusual for it to disappear completely. I'd look for the remains of the valve stem inside the rim but I'd...

Plug in Hybrid!!

Try Yamaha customer service at 1-800-962-7926 . I'd be curious to see if your dealer has even contacted Yamaha. There should be a reference # for the case if they did. Customer service will want your VIN # and should have a record if a call was logged by the dealer. Hope this works out.

I've only owned 5 or 6 bikes all Japanese but they all clunked going into first if they weren't warmed up. My solution is to usually start it in first gear and go (no warmup) but if I start in neutral then I just grit my teeth and endure the clunk. Never caused any damage. I have a DL1000...

Also the fix for the scuffed mirror is to toss those factory ones and install FZ1 mirrors. They give a better rear view (no elbows!) and look better too. my 2cents

My 2006 A model FJR had those exact symptoms in 2020 at almost the same mileage (97000km) and it was spider S6 burnt. I cut it off and soldered all the wires together and its been all good ever since. It was RossKean that pointed me in the right direction (thanks Ross!). Here's the thread from...

Have a friend on his second Honda ST1300 those bikes have a whine you could hear 100yards away. FJR is silent compared to that.

So I went ahead and painted the bracket with the Dupli-color silver wheel paint and finished it with a matte clearcoat and it is almost a perfect match for the original colour. I had to do some rims on my daughters car so there was enough left over for this bracket.

I need to repaint the rear drive and one of the footpeg brackets in Silver, just wondering if the silver dupli-color wheel paint is a match to a 2006 or what might be . Thanks

You might try leaving the charger on longer to bring the battery up to full or try boosting it from another vehicle. However, If your battery was discharged during cold temperatures it may have frozen and will probably not recover from that. Having enough power to pressurize the fuel doesn't...

I was in Labrador last summer with a VStrom DL1000 and slipped on some sand breaking the left footpeg off. Had to ride for a day using the shifter pivot and occasionally the rear footpeg for a foot rest. Wasn't any fun. Next day at a truckstop asked if anyone local could weld aluminum was sent...

Good Luck with sale, After heated grips these mirrors were the best thing I added to my 06.

I did the same but ..... the grandkids came over so we went swimming and kayaking instead. Keeps me young! ish

That thing looks brand new. good find. Is the picture colour accurate, I don't think I've seen one like that. Enjoy!

I got a deal on the Oxford Sport heated grips about 8 years ago. They were about 1/4" too short so I had a spacer made to fill the gap between the grip and bar end weight. Best accessory ever for Spring and Fall rides. The sport grips are also fairly firm so I would recommend looking at the...

Haven't been riding much since Covid and my 06 FJR had 99820km on it so New Years Eve decided that she should go into 2022 with a milestone recorded on the odo. After a 2 hour ride at around freezing temps, here's my result. She's now at 100011 and ready for a bath and a few months rest. Best...

Can't argue with any of this. Great bike, great road. especially when its not full of Miata's, Vette's, HD's etc etc. and its only 3 days ride from here! Yikes

Old Picture but thought I'd throw in an Action shot. Bought this in 2011 with 30k km and now almost at 100k km, not many farkles ; Corbin seats, 1" bar risers, mirrors, oxford heated grips and larger Yamaha windscreen. Also this year added a Gen 3 rear shock and 1.1kg front springs. this...
