I'm awaiting delivery of my T-Rex frame sliders today for my 2009 Yamaha FJR1300A. Should come today and I'll be bolting them up.

I recently purchased a real nice 2009 Yamaha FJR1300A. Was thinking about selling my 2003 FZ1. The bike has about 7600 miles, Corbin comfort seat, GYTR muffler, HEL steel brake lines, and newer in 2012 tires. What do you think a bike like that in great condition would sell for? Thanks.

If after you reconnected that loose wire and it ran like a champ, then it certainly is not a vacuum line. The gen 1 has two ignition coils located underneath the fuel tank. Each coil feeds electric current to two spark plugs. You will see each spark plug wire going up and connecting to one end...

Smell of gas and different exhaust sound, sounds to me like some cylinders stopped firing. Did you feel the exhaust headers to see if any were cold?

With the amount of power from the FZ1, most on this site would recommend a solid riveted chain without the clip/master link. That does require additional skills and tools to remove and rivet the new link into place.

You could also run straight Seafoam thru the carbs if you wanted to. Disconnect the fuel line then feed it directly into the line. Or drain or run most of the gas from the tank and then pour some Seafoam into it.

I agree with you M. You can certainly find many different ways to micro-adjust your chain, but the mfg. supplied alignment marks are plenty good enough assuming you are accurate in making sure both sides are the same. I use a magnifying glass as close up work like that ain't what it used to be.

Motorcycle Superstore has a preferred installer program on their website. Just enter your zip code to find installers in your area.

Really? They need to have short track motorcycle racing on ice, with studded tires and no brakes.

Uh, blessings counted sir. Thanks for the laugh. It's a healthy habit to get into. (laughing). Seems the older I get (58) the more humor I get out of life. It's too short as it is.

Nice bike. They did an article on it in the March issue of Cycle World. BTY, I used to own a '72 XLCH. A real beotch to get started, but once it was running it was a real blast to ride.

What's up with all the adds for sexy Latino women and 'charming' Asia women on this site? Can we get one to keep an eye on our bikes when we're not riding, or maybe just for when we want to take some fresh pictures, and then send her back? :rofl:

I'd be interested in that document. Thanks

New Gen 1battery I am going to get a new battery for my '03. Been looking at this site as a possible source. 2003 Yamaha 1000cc FZS1000 FZ1 Motorcycle Batteries
