The Bar

Hi, this year I aquired a new FJR 1300 AS and would like to here comment from any body who has got or tried one to see how they got on with the machine. Mainly to find out if there were any problems they discovered. Me personally I have had a great time so far, and no problems.

So as is usual I was having a quick look through what EBAY had to offer and came across an advert for an 2007 FJR1300 engine, that looks cheap I thought and bunged in a bid for £99, of course I was thinking I have no chance of getting that for that price! The fella selling it was local to me and he strips and sells car engines for a living, you know the sort, your engine goes pop and you can't be arsed to repair it yourself so you plump for an EBAY special which probably came out of a worse car than yours. Anyway the FJR engine is complete with all the gubbins included electrics and mechanicals. So I wait around all day and bugger me I got it! The cheapest engine I have e…

can eneone tell me if they know of what fults the fjr has as im thinking of getting one ive read the review s and they seem ok if u got one or know of em thanx ride safe

Morning all I've got a BMW r1150rt and fancy a change to something with a little more oomph and less vibes but with the same level of touring comfort esp for the pillion who will be making all final decisions. I quite fancy the look of the FJR1300 - my bike is worth maybe 3.5K so I'd be looking at 6K max - so an older one what is the comfort like? is the power OK - even in wet/slippery conditions that we get a lot of the time are there any known problems/issues?? thanks a lot Nick

Hi Guys, Could someone help me with the settings of the Yamaha Alarm & Immobilizer settings? The alarm keeps arming itself which makes working on the bike difficult. I know there is a "Service mode", but I don't know how to set it. The user manual is no help either. Any advice will be greatly appreciated. Regards

I brought my FJR back from the middle east, ( you guys don't know what hot is). To get it registered in the UK I need to change the dip light and the speedo disk. HELP. Anyone tell me the best way without forking out £300. Desperate to get it sorted as I can't get it insured until it's done.

Hi I have just joined here and in desperation am trying to find a scource in the UK for the idiot bulbs (main beam, oil, ABS and management light bulbs) for a 2003 gen1 FJR1300 part no 4WM-83517-10 BULB (T3.4 14V-80MA) . I would really appreciate any useful answers as to where I could purchase 8 of them. I have managed to get the front nose fairing off but struggling to scource the bulbs? Many Thanks Dave

Today I have spent a couple of hours chasing insurance quotes for the daughters bike....... First quote was well over a grand, then searched around some more and got it down to around 1100 then with me on the policy and a lot of bartering I have got it down to 760. That's with CIA, (careful googling that one) third party only (excess starts at 600 quid on TPFT) fire and theft adds around 400 quid, with the excess on a bike that books at 500 quid is pointless. Anybody know any other insurance companies worth a try. I was expecting around 500 quid and quietly hoping it might be a bit less. Once you have 12 months on the bike the cost drops by over 60pc, its j…

Hey All, I'm a member of the Patriot Guard Riders and I'm trying to figure out a way to mount holders for 3ft x 5ft flags to my bike. I would only ride with them on during missions and parades. then while riding on open hwys I'd go with the smaller flags. Any sugestions????

Hello! Can anyone help? I have flooded the engine of my brand new dtr125, any ideas on how to get it running again?

hi there my names lee just joined y o c living in swansea just bought new xvs 1300 midnight im loving been used to sport tourers but i am really loving new bike been out twice 250 miles done and scrape floor boards times is this right?

after 6 months with my bike in teh garage, getting on and off the centre stand at least once a day, ive managed to start wearing away my concrete floor in the garage i found one solution is to place a floor plate down http://www.sportsbikeshop.co.uk/motorcycle_parts/content_prod/74424]like this, but i can only seem to find such a product for a side stand, and it's not wide enough to take a centre stand has anyone else found a solution, preferably one that can also hide the dirty marks ive left behind (the pains is worn away, and theres some little holes where the concrete itself has been worn away thanks people!

installed 5" forward extensions on my xvs1100 classic,& lost all gears bar 1st & neutral; then I got all except 5th gear. got me buggered I must be too close to see the F-up

Foamy take note of this.... came via chopper underground

Possibly looking to purchase a fly screen/wind deflector or what ever else you want to call it for my xj6n Now at the best part of a hundred quid they ain't cheap so do they actually help as in deflect the wind off you,make high speed more bearable or are they just there to look pretty?

Gotta have some BIG Balls to pull this stunt off! ......

I'm Typing this on a lazy Sunday afternoon, and listening to "All right now" by Free. What are you listening to? Also what I have been listening to is the doors (Jim Morrison) with the one and only "light my fire" and "riders on the storm" What's on now is "my brother Jake" Coming up next is Gary Puckett "young girl" Then followed by Glen Miller
