That matrix file is pretty cool. But why is the 2009 so much more weight then 2008?
Well, iffin you had read the 'notes' column you would have learned that in 2009 Yamaha went from advertising their B.S. 'dry weight', to a true and actual 'wet weight'.

No difference in actual weight between 2008 and 2009 FJRs.

 
Holy crap. Who would have thought this would stir up so much. I wanna buy a 2008, but if its "grey" then I'm not that interested. No offense, but I'm not a big fan of grey. If its "black" then thats fine. You guys and your fancy dancy little names. Geez. Is it grey or black? LOL
I'm interested in the A model, not AE. That matrix file is pretty cool. But why is the 2009 so much more weight then 2008?
This one i can answer! :clapping:

The 08-09 FJR "A" is Raven Black. Only the 06-09 "AE" is playing the shades of grey game.

The weight difference? Maybe it's all the extra coats of paint on those 5 year old fairing panels. ;)

That sucks big time. Like to know Yamaha's thoughts behind that one. From what i have seen, us guys down under only have one version in two tone and that is the 2005 model in blue(don't ask me the specific color name) and silver.

Gazza

 
The 2009 AE comes in a 2 tone Metallic Titanium/Liquid Silver, this I know, because I have one.... LOVE the 2 tone over the plain silver

 
Anyone know how many two tone variation paint jobs there were world wide .Gary
North America didn't get any two tone FJR's.

We're not worthy... <_<
For Peteys sake, Adam; sure they did, see this beautiful 2003 Gen1 with Tom Selleck standing aside Miss Lucy Liu! The Arizona heat must be getting to you up in Kingman, Hombre.

Damned if that don't look amazingly like a burro molester I met in Orlando earlier this year.

Howinhell do the motorcycling gods allow such an ugly fecker to ride such a good looking bike?

VERY reminiscent of this.....

Please stop trashing this really interesting thread with pictures of ugly *** owners.

It detracts from all this new technical coatings knowledge I've been dying to obtain.

 
There, there RadioHowie; don't cry! Mark's just jealous of our incredible handsomeness!
I'm okay.....besides, I've got sumpin' for Wheaties....

It's in my left hand in the pic above. :finger:
Hey! It's not time for my checkup yet! Plus, you don't have a Doctor's license, do you...so I'm not fallin for that one. :clapping:

You gots to get up pretty early in the morning to get this sharp spoon.

Concur!

No matter how fine of grit you wet sand those owners or clearcoat them....the base is just too messed up. The only way to fix those pictures is to start over with a die grinder, oxy torch, and two paper bags.

Ick.

The attempt at the Witness Relocation Program disguise is like trying to photo shop a bovine into a Ms. Universe.......when it really requires a belt sander, 40 grit, and box of Scotchbrite.

Double ick and keep the babies away from it. :dribble:
