Holy shit! If you squint at that survey, it reads just like this forum! Hey, MCN? Can I come work for you test riding bikes and reporting on how much new plastics cost? Pretty please?

 

[Dan23]

Thanks for the update.

 

[pickax]

My survey is in the outbox right now. Fairly comprehensive and it will be good to see the results. PS Love that inane babble, it's all good clean fun!!

I still have half a gallon, but it's Dodge specific smoke. Not sure if it'll work for his scoot Oh shit still have a pint of wiring smoke too!

I just received my MCN yesterday - and I'd be happy to scan the poll pages into a .pdf format - the problem is, I don't have a on-line service that will let me upload for distribution.

If someone out there has a service with that capability, PM me, and I'll get the poll scanned and back to you, assuming that you'll post a link for downloading.

I think they allow polls from non-suscribers... is someone going to put the form here?
Well? Whatcha gonna say?

I just filled mine out. All positive with the caveat that they could stand to smooth out the snatchy throttle.

 

[pickax]

Heh, heh, heh, he said snatch.

 

[2006FJR]

Have had my 07 19 days, 520 miles.
Missing on at least on cylinder, probably two.

Smoke coming out from under the engine.

Trailered bike to the dealers today.

Time will tell whether I have a warm fuzzy feeling for the bike or just a bad taste in my mouth.

I had a similar issue at about 500 miles and I found out that the dealship did not prep the bike properly. I had to trailer the bike the first week until they did it right. I bet it is nothing major but let us know how it turns out either way.

I don't want to hijack this thread but some apparently haven't read the thread I started to explain what my bikes problem was. The smoke was just the insulation foam contacting the exhaust pipe by the side stand and the missing was contaminated fuel.

Hmmm... I thougt you upgraded your seat? Must be you didn't like the seat too well.

Is the intent of this MCN survey:

a. To help Yamaha produce a better product?

b. To rate the FJR better than the owners of X fill in the blank X rated their bikes?

c. To help those in the market for a new bike with their decision?

Can't put form up as I already filled mine out. It is in the June issue pages 35 and 36. By the way, I tried to e-mail it in pdf form, but it was returned as too large for their mailbox.??????????

Sent mine in yesterday, added this comment this morning:

I would sure appreciate it if Yamaha would price their oil/oil filters within the realm of reason. I think that the vast majority of modern oils are good oils. BUT, I am equally sure that Yamilube regular (non-synthetic) oil is NOT worth $5 and up per quart depending on dealer. I'm also equally sure their oil filters aren't worth $15 either. And one more, the rear differential fluid at $25 and up!! This is a great bike but having dealers cheat, yes, cheat you on these three items sure kills the desire to use Yamaha lubricants. I do not use Yamilube, I do not use their differential fluid, and I do not use their oil filter. I think this is an ugly side of dealers actually cheating their customers.

I got the same thing in the mail yesterday. If it works into my schedule I might do it. I subscribe to MCN (best MC magazine out there) and mailed my completed survey in this morning.
