Thanks guys, but the Russell saddle sold earlier this evening. I've replies to PM's some of you have sent to me. The other gear is still available. Happy Travels! Steve.

Bockelrider, received and replied to you. Thanks. Steve.

(9-28-18, everything has been sold, thanks.) (9-16-18, update post, Russell saddle, service manual, and OEM wind screen are sold and removed from this posting. PRICES LOWERED ON REMAINING ITEMS Thanks.) I've sold my 2010 FJR. I have these parts listed on Craigslist, Minneapolis, MN. Here...

No dragging or slipping of the clutch, just generally crappy shifts (random grinding, clashing. thunking, and sometimes even down right smooth). And yes, I watch my technique... I know the FJR will never shift "like butter", but just trying to improve the shift quality by whatever amount I...

I've got 30 or so miles on my handiwork, lots of deliberate neighborhood wandering with lots of clutch action, and holding in the clutch at stoplights. Honestly, if I would not have known the work was done, I'd have a hard time saying it was done. Maybe the shift action is slightly smoother in...

Yep, there was a gasket, stuck by its edge to the clutch cover by factory engine paint. VERY well disguised. It did come off and was in good condition. I installed it back on the case over the locator pins, then installed the cover. After cleaning, the friction plates got a good 3 hours of...

Thanks! Just got the cover off. No gasket! But, I've never had any leakage. Buy a gasket? Use some sealant? Steve.

Hi gang, I'm going to dive into the deep end and do a clutch soak on my 2010 FJR. I've got my factory service manual, Youtube video of the procedure, and previous write-ups with photos ready to guide me. Except one question I need answered. Should the transmission be in gear, or in neutral...

A couple months ago I received two reminders from Yamaha that my Y.E.S. warranty was going to expire on May 9, 2016, and that they'd be happy to renew it, $470 for one year, or $594 for two years. Yuck. I put it off and put it off. Then on Wednesday of this week, I saw that D&H Cycle magnet...

Did I miss a shop day at Mike's shop? Steve.

Been a long time since I've been around... I hope everyone is doing well. My 2010 FJR is at that 26,000 point. Valve check and other stuff is due. I'm not so mechanically savvy to take on such work myself, I need a pro. I'm fairly centralized in the Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota area, more...

Follow-up. Got two 10 gram (.7oz) clip-ons installed to replace the 5/8 ounce (.625oz) of stickies (two quarter oz and a half quarter), and boy are things rolling nice again. Slow speed shimmy is gone, and it's easy rolling up to the century mark. I did not seek a re-balance, figuring they...

Error, pricing may be per individual weight, not per 10-pack. Check with your retailer. That table on the catalog page does show priced as each, should be "ships as a 10-pack".

Been awhile since I've been here, hope all is well with everyone... I recently wore out my PR2's and installed a pair of PR4's. We used new stick-on weights to balance them, nothing out of the ordinary for weight amounts. Cleaned the rims really well prior to sticking them in place. I lost 2...

I witnessed this procedure. 4th gear was used, modest brake pedal used to apply drag/load on the rear wheel. I don't recall speed/RPM used, but I'm thinking somewhere up in the mid-high 3000 range. Reports after the fact from the bike owner were of noticeable reduction of vibration and...

Fortuneately I live within a 2-hour ride to Aerostich (both a blessing and a curse...). I've been riding with a Darien suit for 5-6 years but after a couple years of losing some weight I'm slowing shrinking away from it! In the next year or two I'll likely upgrade to new gear. But when I was...

For cold temps, they make just enough of a comfort difference to me to open them (outer position). Bumps the wind that much farther away from my legs and whatever heat is drawn out of them is certainly warmer than the surrounding atmosphere. Not a huge difference, but worth the effort to pop...
