And a polite reminder to make it paper and officially sanctioned by Yamaha.

9. FJRForum.com is aware of only one legitimate online source for copyrighted service manuals--that being Yamaha at this link. Promoting piracy or referencing spurious manuals that are too cheap to be legal on eBay or other websites is not allowed. (meaning you provide in advance compelling evidence it's a bonafide source to an admin) Buy a frickin' $90 manual for your $14K+ motorcycle! We've worked long and hard on this forum to as FJR owners and won't stick our finger in Yamaha's eye by ripping off manuals. And if a dealer offers to sell you an electronic copy....they're likely breaking the law too and probably irritating Yamaha corporate.

maybe next time Yamaha drags its feet on a recall, we could point out how they should probably be nicer to us, because we don't steal their manuals.

(or we could point out that we bought their $14k motorcycle.... so try not to irritate us.)

Odd. I don't remember Yamaha dragging their feet. I have seen the take the time to properly evaluate a course of action. Honda's frame cracks on the GL1800 was feet dragging.

Odd, Yamaha dragged its feet on every recall, until enough people complained to the NHTSA.. But I might be wrong.

After receiving numerous complaints (and reading this Forum) the NHTSA decided there was enough smoke to send an agent to look into the Spider Bite. BkrK12 and I walked the agent through the problem, helped him photograph all the issues and we demonstrated the Spider Bite failures that constituted real safety issues such as loss of headlights and ignition failure. The agent put together his report and sent it to Yamaha, then in less than 30 days of receiving the report Yamaha first initiated a safety notice not to ride Gen II FJRs due to safety issues and an intent to recall, then within the same 30 days also started the recall campaign. That fact that Yamaha had a 'fix' ready to deploy along with all the documentation with logistics for the dealers in place in less than 30 days kinda smells like Yamaha had been working on this for a while and the NHTSA report was the tipping point.

Within 3 months of when I reported a TPS failure Yamaha started the TPS recall.

There was a long delay between when I reported the issue with the CCT and Yamaha had enough data to show that a recall was necessary wise.

Or you can can try to get a REAL one like I did for 75 bucks
