........ but for now it seems pretty great!
One thing I noticed IMMEDIATLY was how the wind hits my helmet now - it never did with the barn door, all I felt was turbulence. Now I have actual AIR blowing through the vents in my helmet...
I didn't understand why it would not work as Givi advertises it for 2015-'17. Glad you got it sorted, and it is an improvement, Bonus!

I did a cycletrader search for used dirtbikes in Minnesota, you're right.......there is practically nothing on the used market in that state. 😬
Don't discount Craigslist. I've had two great experiences buying/trading motorcycles there.

I recently got a Kawasaki KLX230. Modern features with linear power and capable for short highway runs with it's mid 70mph top speed it might be worth consideration.

The following thread shows how to hook this vest up to the FJ/Tracer.

Traded the VanVan for a KLX230S today. Advertised on Craigslist for sale and trade, and got a straight trade with a nice kid. Great experience.
Already took it to a trail 2 minutes from my house that I would never put the Vanvan through.
I think I can learn alot from the KLX. It's going to be hard to keep it clean 😁

Thanks to @Heli ATP for a sick deal on a matching luggage set for my 1 month old 2017. Had to pick up some new side case mounts due to Yamaha discontinuing their offerings, but the forum steered me right. Ready to rock for a trip later this month!
I like it. Looking forward to the trip report.

Loved my KLR, almost bullet proof. There are lots of options for all of us and all bikes. Some really creative stuff on ADV rides!
Yep, everyone should have a KLR in the stable! Bashing around off-pavement is highly entertaining and educational. And it makes you grateful for things like power and ABS.
I'm considering an offer of a trade of my Suzuki VanVan 200 for a Kawi KLX230 to get some off pavement time.
Would this be a good option for entertainment and education?

Hi Norm,
When I see 'Sold, in the title of your listing it makes one think that there is nothing left to see?
Good Luck with the sale.

I got out and rode today after almost 4 weeks off due to vacation. I had watched the Fortnine video on giving it beans a couple of weeks ago, and can say that on todays ride I cleaned the carbon out 😉

From a technical standpoint it’s a big answer that would be easier in person and with components in front of me.
To put it simply, shifting at the wrong times (not following the arrows that indicate when a shift is possible), forcing gear changes when the conditions aren’t correct so that the gears don’t smoothly engage or disengage as designed, or not being firm enough with an up shift or downshift such that components in the trans aren't fully engaged or disengaged and are then loaded or unloaded in a partially shifted position, etc….
Found this youtube video on the subject. I guess incorrectly using a quickshifter could cause damage too?

Here is a passenger backrest for the Niken, which look like a knock-off of the Yamaha Tmax 530 back rest discussed earlier in this thread.

My wife's Toyota has a radar assisted cruise control; the idea is if the radar sensor sees an object in front of the car that is too close, the car will automatically apply the brake.
Sometimes, the object will be a parked car, or a mailbox or other object that is around a curve and is sensed as being in front of the car. I do not like the system; there is a way to not have the radar help turned on.
Funny, I recently had a new Toyota rental with ACC and was really impressed as it had no false readings. When I tried ACC in a 2015 Volvo years ago I hated it for some of the reasons metioned above. The following video (posted earlier in another thread) shows how the ACC works at 5:30 min and gets high praise at the 31 min mark.

Did you find an aftermarket for the 1st gen of FJ09 ? If yes which one?
Checkout the 'McCruise'. Excellent product and customer service. Pricey but worth it, if desired.

Hate to break it to everyone but the reality is that type of failure is NOT a result of poor manufacturing but almost always caused by poor shifting and riding techniques by the operator.
-Skip
Help me to understand what 'poor shifting and riding technique' could cause a failure like this?
-
Thats sucks. I wonder how much the repair bill will be and what was the mileage?
-
I think you maybe be confusing miles and kilometers. 4k miles = approx 6k km's.

I never got an explanation from the dealer after they fixed my FJ-09 on Yamaha's dime. Just that Yamaha agreed to fix it immediately as they had come across this issue in the past.

It happened to me on a 2017 FJ09. Luckily I was able change to neutral to pull over. Engine stayed at max RPM till I turned the key off. Started up normal after a couple of minutes and continued home and it happened again. Put her on a trailer and found it was a known problem with Yamaha who said it was a fault regarding heated grips and quickshifter. Repairs were free of charge on Yamaha. There is a thread about it somewhere on the forum.
