What I am saying is that my FJR, an 05 had the typical 4-5k vibration. Whether or not it was as bad as your I can't say but after installing the Power...

<SNIP> I just don't know a lot about the FJR and what makes it tick yet, </SNIP> Don't mention FJR and tick in the same sentence. ... There's definitely a...
there was a recall on the throttle position sensor which applied to all US FJRs through mid 2005 model year. A quick check of the vin number can answer that ...
While we're at it, check the handlebar end weights... they came loose on my Goldwing once and I thought I had a frame crack... scary but so simple to fix. ... ...
Hey Catfish, Thanks, and I have swapped FJs and mine does and theirs doesn't, and Yamaha doesn't believe it. They will not let you ride one of theirs at the...
to catch both mails at once, I have had the TPS replaced at 2500, and I haven't noticed the weights being lose, but remember that this has been here since day...
in order to make spec, i.e. pass EPA regulations, these engines are made to run painfully lean... on the brink of detonation. When that occurs, timing is ...
I understand you. One issue that I had when new was that at 50-60 mph +-, I had a big surging problem, sometimes even causing the drive shaft to get slack in...
I guess you misunderstood me, actually I could have been clearer... I meant top gear roll-ons. In first gear, yeah that machine is a monster. I can loft the ...

I don't have a lot of vibration in my 2005, but there is some at highway speeds. I think most FJRs suffer a bit of vibration, almost all transverse mounted ...
My 2006 FJR 1300A has been very stable. I've taken it all the way from Kirkland, WA to Irvine, CA on I5 too. My only complaint on that trip is the behavior...
I am ready to buy a nice used FJR 05 or 06. Can someone tell me the advantages of getting an 06? Any good deals out there not too far from the PNW? Thanks, DC...
The key is that Yamaha solved the valve problem with the 06. Another solve was the heat coming off the engine, but you live in the PNW and therefore wouldn't...
... I read something about gen 1 and gen 2 engines on the FJRs. So the pre 06 valve issues weren't global in nature .... since yours is fine? Also is the 4500...

I am about to list my 05 on ebay, so here is a shot at the folks who know what a wonderful machine the FJR1300 is before the unknowing public confusion starts....
Bob, I would like to start stockpiling these 05's for when mine wears out, but you live too far away. Figure out what you would take and add 10% to give...
Thanks Ken, I would ride longer just because I can and fly home for a purchaser. In fact anywhere in the lower 48 would be a fun good by to this great machine....
Hey everybody. Can anybody recommend an inexpensive cover for the FJR? I will be riding to work everyday and I need a cover that will protect against rain and...
That's funny, I was having the same thought the other day Ken... so many folks are selling low mileage 05 machines to get newer. I think the Blue 05 is THE one...
The 05 blue is so so beautiful, I have had many compliments on just the color but a lot more on the design of the bike as you know most folks, even motorcycle...
It's called Galaxy Blue btw. I too have many people tell me how nice they think the bike looks and then ask what is it? I wouldn't trade this machine for ...
My 05 is hot, in fact I was a bit surprised how hot it gets. While heat was mentioned in the reviews I read before purchasing the bike, it seemed to be as an ...
Forgive me if this is obvious, but, traveling with the windscreen in the down position helps to cool things. I am going to cut the shield and install an...
My fix for the heat is very simple, I installed road pegs which place my legs in the air stream. The tank on my O5 has never been hot to the touch. The pegs...
I think it depends on the conditions... I did a few hundred miles on a 90 degree day and the tank got so hot I had to stop for an hour to let it cool. I was ...
