Those of you with 2015 - 2017 FJ and have a Givi Tank Lock bag… Which Bag Model did you go with and can you please provide picture of bag in the bike. Thanks!

So recent comments made me do some more research. Here is some more info in regards to the use of Iridium plugs... per NGK engineers in regards to the use of fine wire in an Iridium plug, ...."because of its small size, can reduce the required coil voltage by as much as 20 percent. This means there an even greater reservoir of voltage at the coil if the cylinder requires it." Fine wire plugs were designed for modern high mileage engines, the addition of precious metals to the center electrode was to increase durability. NGK goes on to state.... " The move to iridium plugs could potentially be a performance advantage" Note they say "could' not "will". Most modern ignition coils can provide more than enough voltage to fire the spark plugs; needed for higher compression ratios, various octane fuels, cylinder temps, etc. (This a my personal comment, not that of the NGK article I sourced). I found this interesting in regards to heat/operating temperatures..."the addition of the precious metal portion of the center electrode contributes only a small amount of heat and is not a source of pre-ignition." "Reeves (the Engineer quoted) emphasized that the heat range rating of a copper-core spark plug and an iridium plug will be the same and that it is the tip (overall) length of the center ceramic that determines any plug's actual heat range." So not to beat a dead horse, I will close out this discussion with no further response. Thank you to those that responded! Good input! In summary, my personal reason for considering Iridium plugs was strictly for the possibility of extended plug life and reducing service intervals to checking gap and plug inspection. I am a former auto mechanic so tearing the bike down to perform this function is not an issue. Instead of the Yamaha recommended 4000 miles (plug Inspection), 8000 miles (plug replacement), I would prefer that at the recommended mileage of 26,600 miles to check Valve Clearances at which time to also inspect Spark Plugs, check plug gaps and if needed, replace them. Safe riding to all!

Just got off the phone with NGK. Wanted their input on going to an Iridium Plug on my 2015 FJ09. Here is what they advised. Stock NGK Plug: CPR9EA-9 Electrode Length 3.0mm IX Series Iridium Plug: CR9EIX (Stock # 3521) Electrode Length: 1.0mm Laser Series Iridium Plug: CR9EIA-9 (Stock # 6289) Electrode Length 1.8mm GAP: .035" The shorter Electrode mean it takes a little longer for the plug to reach Operating Temperature. If doing mostly in town riding where you may be idling a lot, might be better to stay with the stock plug. Otherwise the NGK Rep recommended the Laser Series.

I just purchased a pre-owned 2015 FJ09 on which the previous owner installed the Razor-R and also set up Sag on the bike. The spring he had installed was for his weight (with riding gear) at 190 Lbs. It is perfect for me. My question to the group, has anyone installed a Shock Cover ( protection from debri and elements)? If you found one that fit would you please share make and SKU? Thanks!

Photo not necessary. Thank you for further clarification.

Do you have a photo of where you placed the side socket. Did you use the Powerlet mounting bracket they offer?

Piotrek, Can you refer to the Powerlet Part No. you used or provide the link? Did you get harness and splice on plugs to connect withn OE terminals? Thanks!

APP: 2015 FJ09 New to the sight. This topic may be covered somewhere in the forum. If so, please direct me where to find it. THANKS I am led to believe that Clear Turn Signal Lenses are OE on European FJ09. Can anyone provide YAMAHA OEM Part Numbers? Also seems to be OEM LED Turn Signal Assemblies that can replace the stock US Amber Incandescent Turn Signals. OEM Part Numbers. Thank You!
