i tried one of these a different brand and battery was always dying it was not accurate on speed since you were supposed to calibrate it with another gauge eventually it died battery contacts broke wish my boat came with factory gauge package.

Did you ever switch over to a 65 main jet?

Too much talking, get down to business

Once you did the boyeson reeds, big bore kit and exhaust. What jetting did you go with and also what fuel mixture are you running. Just got a pw50 for my son and looking to build it. TIA

Thankyou Well done Enjoy your beautiful bike Australia

How do you get the winch to push it off the truck. I get how it comes on but how does it come off that's reverse

Iv had my FJR 2012 model since new it's done 2 laps of Australia and various other trips away it's done just over 165800kms with no problems it's winter here in Australia and i ride all year round iv owned many bike's over my 65 years these Yamaha FJRs have to be right up there im very old school and not interested in all the mod comforts heated grips are my only luxurys i don't believe a 6 gear is needed iv ridden concours 14 not much difference between the two maybe a bit faster and iv owned BMWs back in the 80s believe me they do have there faults and overrated and expensive cheers from Australia im really impressed with the XT1200 tenere i owned the 600 back in 86 great bulletproof bike's both Yamaha's must be good there been making them since the 80s started with the FJ 1100s right through until yours

Nice ride! Thanks.

Helpful video, "Hulk"!! I have an 8HP Mercury I just purchased and it's 85 pounds. What type of motor stand are you using to move the outboard around at your home? Barely say it in the video and I've got to buy one soon. Thank you!

I have a 51 tooth for dirt tires and 50 tooth for the supermoto set of wheels. Happy with the change, don’t stall in the dirt or on the trails like I did with the stock 43 tooth.

Great review, thanks. What a gem.

Yes handlebar risers make the biggest difference in the world... Custom seat would help you out greatly comfort seats out of Idaho USA would be good... I did have a sergeant in fact I am more than willing to sell you the top portion I don't like it to me it was too hard... I will give you a killer deal... And since you have the electronic suspension you don't need to upgrade the rear shock or the fronts. .. my bike has fallen over two separate times no damage to it either time .. because of having the bags on and sliders ..

Same reason I just repowered mine.

Unfortunately not for sale anymore in Europe for a few year now due to emission standards here. Mine from 2017 has done 113.000 km ( about 70.000 miles) and it's perfect. Once had to replace front wheel bearings and it had the gearbox recall in 2021. With the Michelin Road6GT tires it handles great while the tires also last an acceptable amount. Wish you lots of fun anf safe miles!

Shad 45 top case on my 2018. Fits two full face helmets or lots of extras when on trips with wife. snaps off and on easily.

That is one beautiful motorcycle!

I am original owner of a 2013 FJR1300 A. It’s a 5 speed and doesn’t have ES. I agree with your update list. Radiator guard is a must. Guard cost much less than replacing OEM guard. I have canyon cages for protection not sure if they are still available I added a top box for storage space. I use 2XL helmets. So it helps. You’re gonna love it Enjoy. I’ve been doing daily commutes and trips Southern PA to Tail of dragon and Tennessee most recent long ride

Great video M! Good to see that you got a real bike, should have gotten a Hayabusa.... then crashed it like I did... lol. I keed I keed!

I have had excellent luck with Valvoline motorcycle oil. Buy at Walmart, lots cheaper.

I can save you more money, oil MOTUL 7100 10W-40 Amazon 4 litre jug, Oil filter HIFLOFILTRO HF 204

Take the lower fairing bolt out and put a piece of tinfoil over it, then take your filter off, i also changed the diff oil the same day 200 ml

Bought a new 23 in March. Would not do a cross country ride with it. The wind and buffeting will wear on you as with the vibration at 70 mph. Its a sport bike with CC, bags, a shield and driveshaft. Good for sprints not touring.

Thank you for the video and taking your time to explain everything. It was very helpful.

I adjusted the chain slack on my wr250r today for the first time using this video as a guide. Thank you for the clear instruction.

Question please, i transport tohatsu 20hp on proper side, tiller down side, and second time oil been flooding cylinders and locking starter. Why is this happening? I mean road can be windy and different change in slope when riding my car, but its laying on proper side, by the time I come to fishing spot, theres ton of oil leaked out and motor doesn't start, so frustrating, i just bought this motor and already having issues. Any suggestions? I lay it partially on a tiller, i also tried propping up top part when laying on side so the cowl would be slightly elevated, but that also caused flooding...dont know what else to do...

Soooo pissed

Thanks for making me over torque my head bolts its inch pounds not foot pounds 😢

Pre charging your oil filter with oil is the best thing you can do for your motor. Good Job!

I bought a gently used 2019 model that had been very well equipped with extended fairings, the Yamaha frame sliders, the upgraded top box rack and the Yamaha top box that has the integral passenger backrest (Its a $1500 option). I have the bags that go inside the panniers. It is a very easy bike to ride and very smooth. I've had it 20 months/10,000 km (Ontario so we only ride 7-8 months/year). It has so much power it does everything effortlessly and I find I rarely need to rev the engine past 5000 rpm as it rolls on well in any just about any gear but stick it in Sport Mode and let it rev and it's an absolute rocket ship. The one area that needs significant improvement for extended riding - the seat. My bike has the Yamaha Comfort Seat but it's not good enough for riding 500+ km/day so I'd go Sargent, Corbin or Laam. I did a 4000 km trip last year with my wife - Toronto to the Tail of the Dragon/Cherahala Skyway via Skyline Drive (Shenandoah National Park) and the Blue Ridge Parkway. I went with the FJR as the engine has a 20 year history and is known to be bulletproof, as an "older" bike the price is very good so represents good value for money, and although big' its not huge like a Harley or a Gold Wing so its easy to use as a daily rider (I take the panniers off). It is also very good on gas when cruising at road legal speeds. Mine now rides on Michelin Road 6 GT's which grip well and last reasonably well also.

What do you use for oiling the filter

do you think it will be useful for a wr450f

So rebuilding these small motors aren’t too bad ?

Great video! Thanks for sharing! I did a homemade tail tidy using the oem parts with new LED turn signals. The oem tail/brake light came with inline wire resistors/capacitors (yellow wire) and I neglected to reinstall it and eventually my brake/tail light burned out. Did you reinstall the inline resistor/capacitor wire in your new setup? Thanks! Sean

It's a fairly reliable bike and runs on low octane gas. I would not pay $23K for one.

I put 100K on my 2004 FJR. Traded it in on a new BMW GS. Love my GS, but whenever I see a FJR, I gotta smile. It was a great bike!!

Do u need more air fir this setting? Airbox mod or kn filter

love it i own a 2002 fjr superb bike probably gonna drive it a long time before buying the newer model or gtr kawa

Nice video, and beautiful bike. I have a 2016 same exact color and bike. I want to get a newer model, but they're the same. Yamaha needs to give us a colored TFT screen, full digital option. As big as the gauge space is on the dash, they could install a MASSIVE screen. I want a new one, but there's no reason because it's the same as my 16. Come on Yamaha give us some tech....lol. Stay safe

did it work?

I bought one 6 weeks ago in Ontario, its a great bike, i put Michelin road 6 gt on at 2,250 great move and a tall Vstream windshield so i can ride with a half helmet in the summer.

Can't hear you. Just the wine of the engine. Edit better next time.

unfortunatly this bike ins t sold anymore for some years in most european countries :(

Nice smart colour, I like these, but I have never had one, I recently got kawasaki h2 sx but I think I would be better of on one of these, h2 is to fast for a touring bike😮

Greetings, As always another brilliant detailed video production 🇺🇲🍾🎉🇺🇲 Keep producing more videos about the FJR.(Mods videos, how to do it)

What a terrible way to live

This was always a very good bike. From the very begining of its production. It is a shame that they don't sell it anymore in my country (CE Europe). If they decide to make a new model I will seriously consider buying it, otherwise I will wait for 2-3 years and buy a 2020-2021 model. I enjoyed the video. You did a detailed presentation. How tall are you? I see that you have adjusted the seat to the lower setting.

sweet bike!

Good stuff. I’m gonna do the same mods on my x. I’ve had it for 8 years and only just been riding it in the last year. Love the bike so fun
