    Super Farkle

    no worries, just wanted to share a really small, very cool rechargeable booster that fits my needs, and may be of interest to other guys that don't have 2 way intercom systems, just speakers in their helmets for music via Ipod. https://www1.dealextreme.com/productimages/sku_18350_3.jpg

    Super Farkle

    :yahoo: I just treated myself to a new Shoei X11 helmet, and installed some high quality helmet speakers from Rider's Warehouse. The speakers are so good that my Ipod doesn't have enough balls to drive them. Can't hear the music hardly at all with earplugs in. I have a boosteroo but it...

    Wobble on 2006(a)

    Avon tech rep said to me that the rain "groove" in the center of the tire is very back and forth, and when going at slower speeds ie. 50 or less, the bike will try to follow the tread pattern, therefore tracking in a back and forth manner. Bikes with steering dampers dont feel it, and you...

    New Tire Or A Plug

    Avon has a road hazard replacement warantee for the first 1mm of tread depth. They have to email you a fitment form for the dealer to fill out, and the tread has to be measured. they told me that usually 1000 to 1500 miles is the range of use that will fit the requirements for replacement on...

    120/70ZR17 Avon Storm Not Recommended By Southwest Mototire

    My experience with Avon "wobble" on the front tire, led me to a phone conversation with a very nice Avon tech support guy. He explained to me that the center rain groove is in itself a constant back and forth pattern, and that at lower speeds, the tire tries to follow this pattern on a dry...

    Loss of tire pressure

    Hi, my '04 rear Avon Storm was loosing air and I called Avon and they informed me that over 95% of leaks are due to corrosion on the inside of the rim where it meets the bead of the tire. The other leaks are puncture related. I had my tire mounted at a reputable Yamaha dealer and it was...

    FJR Replacement Battery

    I will bet that for that price it is also a AGM. Just because a battery is sealed and maintenance free many people think it is a gel cell. there are actually very few true gell cell's in the motorcycle industry. I believe that BMW has used them, but not many others. The glass matt batteries...

    What's everyone's preference for slip on's?

    Total Staintune fan. Had them on my BMW R1100RT, and now on my 04 FJR. Sound great, look great, run great, :yahoo:

    numero uno best most primo earplugs

    Here I am trying to tell all you cats and kittens about these blue 30 db military grade earplugs, that are super comfortable, easy to put in, deaden noise better than anyother earplug I have ever worn, especially the yellow ones which don't last more than a few uses and then don't spring back to...

    numero uno best most primo earplugs

    Being 60 this year, and knowing that I already have high frequency hearing loss, I am being very protective of the hearing that I have left. I have tried every brand of earplug (except for the really pricey custom molded ones), and even bought a case of Warchilds favorite brand, but last week I...

    Insulating Pad for Tank?

    I have an 04 and the heat is almost gone in summer , but I didn't use the insulating blanket. I did the same thing with the foil wrapped bubble wrap which is used for heat ducting. If you search the forum for heat fixes, there are pictures posted of this bubble wrap with the foil facing, and...

    I just wanted to share the wonderful customer service treatment I experienced from Duane of Premier Cycle Accessories link https://www.premiercycleaccessories.com/. I am the owner of an '04 FJR in Cerulean Silver. After seeing the beautiful stripe kits that Duane sells for the '06 and...

    06 coolant flush PIA

    I just had my 04 in to the yamaha shop (family dealer selling nothing but Yamaha since the early 70s) for the throttle position censor that was recalled, and the head wrench meister told me not to worry about changing the coolant until 30,000 miles. this is what my subaru dealer told me about...

    Bag Racing Stripe Poll

    The bike looks way cool with the stripes. I am jealous as there is no stripe kit that will fit my cerulean silver '04 because the fairing is styled quite differently. As far as striping the side cases, I vote to NOT. It looks better with just the bike striped. VT :glare:

    Air Wings Cancelled

    I was a waiter. Can't you make 46 of the mirror mounts for the stock FJR? It would seen that this is the most common setup and once you post a pic of the finished bracket, I BET you could get 50 stock FJR mirror orders no problem. I was really looking forward to these with summer approaching...
