Thank you, Thank You, THANK YOU!!! I appreciate all the replies. I am going to see if I can't make my own gasket out of a bike tube. If that doesn't work I will order one from Cee Bailey. Thanks again and Ride Safe! John

My local Yamaha dealer sold me the Yamaha Touring windshield for my new FJR at half price. Now I am hearing a whistling noise most of the time. Slow speeds, shield up or down, higher speeds, up to 45 mph. Anyone else using this shield? Anyone else heard of this?? Any ideas? Whistling is just...

Thanks to all who have posted. I guess second-look as closed?? I have tried calling the 800 number for Roger but it isn't working. Thanks again for everyone's input. Have a great day and ride safe! John

Pulled the trigger today and purchased a new FJR. At this time I own a 2005 FJR (40K miles) and 2010 (244 miles). I am wanting to purchase a tank bra for the new bike. I have a second look bra on the 05 but can't seem to get their website to work. I am wondering what everyone else is using and...

I realize I am NOT in the KC area but I have had VERY good service with Clark's motorsports in Garden City KS. The whole team seems to be very personable. I also know they have an 07 they want to get rid of. Don't know if you would be interested or not by Charles Clark is the person I have dealt...

Have you looked at Hwy 160? It would take you through South Fork, Pagosa Springs, and Wolf Creek pass. Pretty decent roads. I dont know if this is much help or not. Just an idea. Good Luck. John

Sorry to show my ignorance but the cover you are looking for is the right side, correct? I believe I have one I bought off of E-Bay. Let me know if this is the side you need and in the mean time I will make sure which side I have! John

Just wanted to give a big THANK YOU to ScubaTech! I purchased the Sargent seat from him. Told him I would take it and then asked if he could wait a week for the money! I know, I got nerve, but he said Yes and even posted the seat sold BEFORE he got paid. He mailed the seat as soon as he got the...

I have been asked several times if mine (Blue 05) is a BMW. The best one I had though was on a return trip from Colorado. I had just spent a week riding most of the best, curviest, highest roads I knew of. I passed a harley just inside the Colorado state line, got to the next town in Kansas...

Where do you come up with the extra seat pan for the day long saddle? I would like to keep my stock saddle too but haven't figured out how to do that. Thanks for your help. John

Thanks for the input. Unfortunately I don't have an Arai dealer around here. I will have to order either of them off the internet. Thats why I was asking for the input. My shoei fit me well, I just didn't like the extra noise I got from the air inlets. My helmet quieted down also when I put the...

Ok. so I rode last week through Colorado and a mini part of Utah. Got in 2100 miles! :clapping: I had a great time until I got careless and tried riding across some newly laid rock. I hit a patch of rock in a hole and the front end slid out from under me, just as if I was on ice! :angry...

Son said he called Stadium Yamaha. Price for the 1000 mile check up is $350.00. He talked to the Yamaha dealer in Paris tx. and they quoted $60.00 plus parts. He says for the price difference he can drive it the hour and half. Can anyone tell me about the Yamaha dealer in Paris? Decent people...

Thanks for the help. I have called the son and he said he will be contacting Stadium. Your information sure helps me feel better about him having a good dealer to work with. Thanks so much. John

My son just bought a new V-Star 1300 tourer. (If you can't own an FJR this bike isn't bad!) He bought the bike from MY local dealer in Garden City Ks. Said he saved more then enough money to make the trip (8 hrs) from there to here and back. Anyway, I am wondering if anyone can help point him...

Talked with my local dealer yesterday, Clarks MotorSports Inc in Garden City Ks. They were putting one of their 07's together, bout 5:15 p.m. It is my understanding that it is intended for the sales floor. It is NOT an electric shift. If you are interested their phone number is 620-271-9380...

My dealer, Clarks Motorsports in Garden City Ks., got the letter on my bike, ordered the part and called me when it came in. The bike was running fine when it went in but finer when it got out. The idle was to fast. I took it back and had the dealer slow the idle down. He said they didn't change...

I got my notice in the mail today. Had called my dealer this a.m (before the notice came) Salesmen didn't know about the recall, service department did. Already had ordered part. They called me back, the part came in today too! When can I bring the bike in. While they are replacing the tps I am...

My SO and I used to ride a VS1400 Intruder. One day we rode to the Yamaha dealer to "look" at the FJR. She got to sit on it and bought it later that day. We would ride the Intruder a couple hundred miles a day. (max!) On the FJR she has gone about 350-400 miles per day. We could have gone...

Thanks for all the info. I will be checking out the HC-50. I am glad to know it is a good unit. kanfjr.
