    Considering used: should I be afraid of the auto-clutch?

    Thanks for all the input. I didn't rush to buy the thing (had a trip out of state planned which I'm now on and didn't buy it before I left), and I won't rush when I get back. I'm not cussin' those with legitmate handicaps and wanting to ease/enable their riding. I'm still not sure that I can...

    I dunno what you wrote, I couldn't stop staring at your avatar/pic chick. My daddy would say that anybody who wouldn't eat that is queer. --HC

    Considering used: should I be afraid of the auto-clutch?

    Thanks for the reply. I will still entertain the idea of one but the one I was looking at, while a pretty good deal on the price, was a 9 hour roundtrip from me. I go that way about 1-2 times a month but was considering a special trip just to look at the FRJ AE. I decided to wait until my...

It's been posted that the auto-clutch might still be made for other markets in the world and I find this to be true; a little digging to find the Yamaha worldwide homepage and then drilling down to the European market (arbitrarily chosen market) shows that if you...

    Considering used: should I be afraid of the auto-clutch?

    Hey, all. I am looking at a used 07 FJR with the auto-clutch. From my light reading so far 1) that was only offered on the 06 to 09 YM, 2) I've not found a lot of posts on this site regarding the auto-clutch, so...apparently it didn't last long (4 model years) and not a lot of people are...

    Sill Running Like Crap!

    Ross, no expert here, but if the problem is only happening in the rain and then doesn't clear up very quickly (like the next day still not running well) sounds like you may be getting water in the airbox and saturating the filter element. A wet paper filter would breathe like an asthmatic, I'd...
