    2014 Rider modes

    Changing from Touring to Sport Mode does not change the power, just how quick you get it. It seems to effectively change the throttle from a half turn throttle to a quarter turn.

    Cruise control doesn't engage all the time

    On mine, the usual problem is the front brake pivot (tied to the microswitch) sticking slightly. You can tell if the problem is either the front brake or the clutch by bumping the ever forward. If you still have the problem, it is the rear brake.

    Group buy Seat Concepts

    I haven't received an invoice yet. Do I need to go through you or can I deal directly with Roger (?). If possible, I'd like to change my order to sending in my seats and having S.C. do the installation. John Casteel.

    Recognize your dealer

    Bought a barely used (630 miles) '13 FJR in April 2014 from Jason at Stadium Yamaha in Irving, TX. Been back a couple of times for odds 'n ends but I do my own servicing. If I buy another Yamaha, that's where I will go.

    FJR probably saved my life

    No. Most riders, well, Harley riders anyway, would say, "The car pulled out in front of me. I couldn't stop in time so I had to lay the bike down."

    Just found my new favourite motorcycle...

    "Sir, you were doing 150kmh (93mph) in a 110kmh (68mph) zone. I could cite you for "excessive speed..."

    Shock Mounting Points Same on All Three Gens? & Horns

    Not exactly. There is only one real (designed for a horn) mounting bracket for the horn for the Gen III's. On the other hand, you can use the bolt at top of the right corner of the radiator to mount the other.

    Homemade Steering Bearing Socket

    I didn't run the numbers, but, yes, I was sort of thinking that because he effective length of the torque wrench didn't change, . . .

    Damn ....... It did it again

    My VIN is 236. Bought the bike barely used last year. One long trip last year - DFW to Spearfish, SD and the long way back. No problems. Any way for me to check if the ECU reflash has been done?

    FJR or Triumph Trophy

    The touring windshield is about 4" taller. I have one. I like it also.

    Homemade Steering Bearing Socket

    Yes, it does matter. If you are using some kind of homemade socket, the book specifications do not apply enough force. If you are using a wrench like 900gc made and it is too long, you are applying too much force. https://www.freeinfostuff.com/torqueextension/torqueextension.htm The service...
