    What is the preferred boot of the FJR riders?

    I've been wearing a pair of Sidi Discovery boots for the past couple of years and have been really happy with them. They are comfortable to walk around in as long as I don't go on a hike. For general errands and grocery shopping around town they are as comfortable as any boot. I think they...

    2006 FS Wichita CL dealer ad $4500

    Hey George Glad to hear you made it back safe and sound. I really hope this bike works for you. If I hadn't bought mine earlier this year for the same price I would have been all over this one. PM me your address and I will get those papers to you. Steve

    2006 FS Wichita CL dealer ad $4500

    The story thus far. I had some running around to do this morning so I stopped by the dealership to take a look at it since it's only a couple miles away from me. I was not looking at it to purchase it. I was pretty much looking at it to see what was wrong with it. This is what I found. It...

    2006 FS Wichita CL dealer ad $4500

    https://wichita.craigslist.org/ctd/3416307859.html Not mine. Looks to be the best deal I've seen since I bought my 04 for the same price. I am on my phone so I can't see the pictures too well so don't know if its abs or not. It does have at least a yamaha top box with backrest. Steve

    emergency / kill switch ?

    The only practical application that I've found for the kill switch is when I am parking uphill. It's just a lot easier to keep it in first, clutch in, and both brakes on after rolling to a stop in the parking space and just use my thumb to kill the engine with the swtich. Drop the kickstand...

    Got this '85 Honda Elite 150 Scooter

    Does this have a brake lockout for the starter? If I remember some models of scooter have the lockout on the foot brake. Since you had lights my second guess would be that the lockout switch is stuck. Third would be starter relay fuse, and then the relay itself. After that if you get it to...

    Going to Alaska - June 15th, looking for riding partners

    What route were you thinking? Calgary and edmonton? Vancouver? Seattle and inland ferries? What is your ultimate destination? Skagway? Anchorage? Fairbanks? Deadhorse? I was thinking of going next year if my situation doesn't improve, but was kinda leaning toward taking my volvo and...

    Gen 1 rider's seat choices

    I have some time on a corbin that came with the bike and can say that if you are having knee and butt discomfort with the stock seat you will still have them with the same corbin style that I have. The corbin is somewhat better than stock but not a great deal. Some say that you need to give...

    Cigars?

    One of my favorites for an inexpensive smoke is Sancho Panza Cervantes. A truly good smoke that I used to buy for less than two dollars. It's probably slightly more since the new taxes kicked in. Anything from their double maduro line is far better than most of the middle of the line stuff...

    Is Repair Worth It

    If you aren't interested in doing the work yourself, it seems to me you would be better off just getting out from under the whole deal right now. Sell the bike off for whatever you can get out of it. However, if you know an independent mechanic that does good work, let him look at the bike and...

    ABS Technique

    I emailed SkooterG about an 04 that was for sale in the area that was specifically listed as having ABS and he saw a couple of things right away that I didn't catch when I looked at the ad. One was that the bags didn't match the year, but the major thing was that there wasn't an ABS sensor on...

    Saddlebag Protection Film

    These were under the seat in a plastic bag when I bought the bike. I assume it is factory issue and just wasn't installed when the original owner bought the bike.

    Saddlebag Protection Film

    Can someone please tell me where these two are supposed to mount, and in what orientation? I assume they go around the bottom slot, but just a guess. The other four pieces I can understand since they are the same size and shape of the top mounting slots, but this has me baffled. Actually...

    My Own Bugs!

    To SacramentoMike: Thanks for the love brother! I know you just want me to live a long healthy life :) I do have a tendency to eat rather poorly. I am actually looking at the link you sent. I paid $4500 and drove an hour to get it with the trailer. So far I am into it for 4500 for the...

    My Own Bugs!

    Today I got to put my own bugs on my new to me 04A. A total of 44 miles since I rolled it onto the trailer two weeks ago. The bike now has 2200 miles and some change. :yahoo: Up until yesterday I had more miles pushing it than I did riding it. This is my bike: My first impressions are...

    Recalls on 2004 Never Performed

    The bike came with the top box when I bought the bike. I got the impression from the PO that he bought the bike as I bought it. Good title, clean, not salvaged so hopefully Yamaha won't give me any grief when I call them tomorrow. That being said. Does anybody know a yamaha dealer in the...
