So fuel consumption, seems to be about the same as Fredw, I neglected to say that I had reverted back to stock co settings ( the settings that were on the bike, when I got it ) so I was pleasantly suprised to find the surging has been elimenated, by doing the tutbs, and the fitting of the g2...

mcatrophy, That's some detail, all credit to you. I'll keep stum.

mcatrophy, no braggin intended, so what does your bike return as fuel consumption ?, just so I have some figure to base mine against, to know wether it's any good.

Fred W. Many thanks for your post, I have in the past had a vfr750 (v4) and the only way to balance those was as per throttle plates. So now been the owner of a fjr1300 2002 gen1, which I balanced on the air screws, and thought that it was smooth as, but suffered from surging at constant...

I bought a Schuberth c3 pro, about 6 months ago, specifically for use when riding the blood bike,( easier to converse with hospital staff, and saves having to remove your helmet every time) This is the worst helmet I have ever bought, and I am in dispute with the uk importer, regarding leaks...

Blood bikes, we are volunter riders, who deliver blood,samples, and anything else,that may be required by local hospitals,out of normal working hours. This amount's to a massive saving for the hospital trusts, who, if we did not offer this free service, would have to pay taxis companys to...

Hell, mine are concave, but no where as bad as those, anyway, I put it back together. phoned several Yamaha main dealers, no one keeps the washers as stock item, and were quoting 7-10 days, as Yamaha have a minimum order quantity !!! I needed the bike mobile, as I use it as a blood bike, I...

TripperMike, they are indeed slightly concave, I have just pulled the other fork and that's exactly the same, I have also had a look on the Fj Owners club site, which has a fork stripped, showing the location of all the components and the order in which they are fitted, it's quite clear that...

Hi Guy's need some very urgent advise, if you can help. my Fjr right hand fork has started to leak oil, I have bought a seal and bush kit, now upon taking them apart, I have found that the washer that is seated below the seal is slightly concave, I have just spoken to the local Yamaha dealer...

Hi, dogbones on the bike measure 160mm hole centre to centre, gen 1 bike, so are these standard length ? and it's bloody difficult to get it on the centre stand.

Thanks for the replies, the bike is extremely difficult to get on the centre stand. This would account for the handling then, very heavy on the front end, I spent a lot of time sorting the vfr, so that it handled very well, Forks don't stick out of the top yoke, and are pretty much flush, I'm...

Does anyone know what the standard length is of the factory fitted dog bone ?, I bought a new to me fjr yesterday and feel that the bike sits a little low, coming from a vfr750fv which I heavyly modified suspension on, My second question is about fork seals and bushes, are they the same for the...
