Just took delivery of my '06 last friday and am getting it ready for some long rides. I used to own an '03 and at first was pleased to see a factory powerport...
Just picked up my new '06 on Friday, and put 600 miles on it the first day. This is my first FJR. My bu*t is aching and my hands are so sore I don't want it...
Scott, Sorry to hear about your seat and grip issue. I buy foam grips from California Sport Touring (see fjr aftermarket stuff) and they really help with grip...
Hi, Mike, I wish I had my FJR when I was in Virginia. Alas, at that ancient time I was on a Yamaha CT-1, 175 cc two stroke enduro. It was a noisy enough bike...
Scott, You might want to give the seat - both yours and the bike's - time to break each other in. I had some initial butt-ache on my 2005, but was thrilled by...
... Try riding with the windscreen down. On a 5700 mile trip last year, I ended up riding with the windscreen down on the third day and haven't put it up...
Scott, can I just point out that 600 miles in a day is gonna hurt the butt and wrists on virtually any bike!! I swapped a '95 ST1100 for my '03 FJR and I find...
I prefer the protection, esp. when winter comes. Actually I've been lowering the screen when in town to cool off (now that's it's in the mid 80's down...
Geoff: Regarding OEM heated hand grips, on Saturday I was riding East on Route 66 just before the 495 (Beltway) exit and noticed my throttle was not ...
Ah ha! So it's not an all day tourer after all! Bring me the GL!!!!!! (cr*p.. too late) ... I know, I know..... 600 is rediculous (it was really 740).......
I agree totaly. I put a corbin on and liked the oem better. Plus, give your body a chance to adjust. the wrists forarms and knees etc will adapt in notime. ...
Guess again... I have an 04 1800 Wing and an 05 FJR. If I have the girlfriend along we take the Wing. All other long distance riding for me is on the FJR hands...
Mike: Thanks for the tip on the heated grip cement. Do you think the Yamaha supplied aftermarket (with Hi/Lo switch) is the best alternative? That does sound...
Scott, I think you need to give yourself a month or two to get used to the bike. Your body will adapt to the seating position, bars etc. If after a couple of...
Hey group, I'm James, and I'm in Cleveland, Ohio. I'm a the new guy in the group. I had ordered my bike in March of this year, and I was "told" that the bike...
Yamaha heated grips and Throttlemeister are compatible -- I have both on my '04 FJR. Best Regards, Vince Liberto 9016 S Norwood Ave. Tulsa, OK 74137 Phone: 918...
James, How it worked in Oregon was that the dealer took my order and entered it into the Yamaha ordering systems, which resulted in an order number. If they...
Hi! I have a 2005 FJR with 24K miles. It's a ticker and I'd like to get the valve guides replaced with the new ones and get any damage repaired. I'm also...
I got mine from an Elyria, Ohio dealer. It's amazing how much the dealer doesn't know about your bike's arrival. I asked him a few times about when and then...
We're all different heights, weights, etc. But I'll have to chime in and say I'm selling my 2001 GL1800 to buy an '06 FJR. I love the '05 (it's on ebay right...
My friend and associate took delivery today May 3rd, of his 2006 FJR, in Canton Il. The updated features of the 06 FJR left me in awe. The changes are numerous...

WOW, My '06 made it here! Picked it up from Honda East Toledo on the 4th. I traded 2 bikes in for it so I had to trailer it home..real bummer.. but have been...
