No Yamaha logo roundels on my 2010

[Mr._Gone]

I just purchased a 2010 FJR to replace my 2006, and because I'm not the most observant guy, I didn't notice that the fuel tank had no Yamaha logo roundels before I brought it home.

I can only think of two options. First, the previous owner removed them. Second, it's a replacement tank.

Or were some 2010s sold without the logo roundels on the tank?

Just curious on everyone's thoughts....

Perfect opportunity to stick some BMW roundels on it.

Screw with everyones mind.

I like the idea of the BMW roundels.

USA FJRs come with roundels on the tank, P/N 5JW-2413B-00-00 and if you don't price shop could pay almost $28 each.

That thought occurred to me... but then I'd have to go buy some ridiculously-priced gear to reinforce the stereotype. It could get expensive fast.

Now, maybe some Playboy roundels might work.

I kind of like the clean look, without the roundels. I don't think I'll replace them.

At this point, I guess I'm just curious why they're missing.

Previous owner probably removed them.

You can get replacements from Amazon...different colors too.....I found red tuning forks with a carbon fiber background. Looks good on my Black 08 gas tank. Much cheaper than getting them from a dealer, I think I paid like $12.00 for a set of 4.

2 large for the sides of the gas tank and 2 small ones. I replaced the one on the front fairing too.

You aren't the only one that likes the clean look, others here have posted asking how to remove the roundels, reflectors, logos, etc.

I removed mine from my 2010 just for the clean look.

P.S. Stay away from beemer logos you will give the FJR a bad name.

Actually, you would be giving BMW inadvertently a good name.

Getting someone to a BMW dealer, wondering why there weren't any fast, sleek, beautiful BMWs at their place like the one you saw.

I'd go with an orange KTM logo, and maybe a Dakar sticker, then put some TKC80's on it..

That would really mess with people.

Did you also remove the roundel on the nose? If so, was it as simple as heating it up with a hair dryer then hitting it with some Goo Gone (or something similar)?

I assume your avatar shows your 2006 model. If it's your 2010, then..............

Yes, I hadn't changed the photo. The 2006 is toast.

The new avatar should be my 2010 now.

The front one is set into the plastic. If you remove it you will have a quarter sized indention into the fairing.

I was sort of hoping someone would say, "Holy smoke, you got one of the rare, limited edition 2010 FJRs built by angels and blessed by virgin's tears before Valentino Rossi personally rode it off the assembly line." You know, something like that.

 

[deanw]

You really wanna screw with someone, put KLR (Spoofed BMW) roundels on it.

There, feel better? Maybe we shouldn't tell you that Rossi then took that girl's virginity on your bike and farted on the seat.

Yeah, but it's a Valentino Rossi fart, so it probably smells like gasoline and exhaust fumes and burning rubber, so I'm good with that.

As for the virgin, who wants to sleep with a virgin? I'll just wipe away the residue of love off the seat and take her for a ride.
