  1. I'm toying with the idea of getting the YES extended warranty for my FJ. Any thoughts on this? I wish I had something like that for my KTM. It seems like everything went wrong with that bike, and it was always $500 at the dealer to fix it. That being said, the FJ is a Yamaha and I'm sure a completely different situation (one reason I bought the FJ). I'm wondering if anyone knows of any typical things that go wrong with FJs or FZs that might warrant investing in a service plan. Thanks in advance for the input.
  2. I was going through an expensive sealed yuasa gel battery every year and a half or 2. The bike got finicky on cold mornings and I'd occasionally run the battery down. Very frustrating. I got a Shorai lithium ion battery for not that much more and never had a problem again. I don't see the need to replace a battery until it's completely worn out and starts stranding you, but I'm going the Shorai route for sure when my FJ battery kicks the bucket.
