<_< Well do not get upset at me, I only read the first few replies,
If all the changes that were made to the FJR for 06, then I guess one should wait until 07 to buy.
Unless you are a pioneer like those that bought before the rest of us did.
I kind of like having one of a handful of a model in my area. I always see the sport bike riders checking this out when I running out in front and they do not catch me easily.
I still love my ride, it's an 05 in the shop for the rear diff oil seal, warranty work. 12.00 part.
That has been dripping on the left side of my rear wheel, almost since I took it home. 14 months ago.
Wasn't a waiter just in the right place at the right time.
reported to dealer, who advised probably road grime, brack dust.
Now it appears to me that if the dealers are not interested enough to remove the wheel to take a look, and or they just do not know enough about this bike here yet.
Removed wheel to have tires changed and a small bike shop mech found it. Wish the yes plan could be used anywhere there is a certified mech.
So, now Yamaha gives them changes in the design, so they can try to learn those when they have not gained experience on the earlier models.
I will have this pricey, to me ride, until it runs no more, or I decide that a newer model or different breed is needed.
Until then it's a game you never no what your going to get. I for one bought this after just seeing it on the internet. That is how much it pleased my eyes.
One twist of the throttle told me I did not make a mistake, front wheel off ground set it back down easy.
Yes warranty for 389. from D&H, worth every penny, even if we are dealing with uneducated people.
buy something else; if you were meant to get something that wasn't quite right it doesn't matter what you buy you're going to get it.
:assassin: :lol:

I read online that Yamaha installed all the returned 'ticker' valvetrains on the new '06's.
