cricket1 Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 I picked up my Candy Red FJ-09 a week ago Saturday. A week prior I had ordered the following from the Yamaha dealer. FJR Side Cases-Candy Red - [strong]July 6th! [/strong]Mounting Bars for bags [strong]May 25th [/strong]Lockset- [strong]July 30th! [/strong]Heated Grips- June 15th Rear Rack- not sure, some are in stock at a whse in CA. I have a trip planned for June 7th, MAYBE I'll have the rear rack in time?? If not, I guess I take my other bike (if it's not sold by then) I was told at the time they were unsure when everything would be in but that the bags are usually 3-5 days or so. Today I got a straight answer when these would be ready. :( See above dates. I realize the FJ has been a runaway sales success, but c'mon Yamaha- these lead times are CRAZY!!!

Guest rszk Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 I hear ya! I ordered all my accessories back in March. Still missing the heated grips and the mounts for the side bags. They are telling me (in Canada) July now. I've got a trip at the end of June. I have my top bag and associated hardware, my side bags, but it sure would be nice to mount the side bags up.I'm wondering if maybe someone could post a photo of the side mounts and maybe they could be fabbed up by my local machinist?

I ordered my grips back on 3/20. Last month they told me early may. I just called to check and now they are saying 6/15. Not sure what is holding things up but it sounds like Yamaha needs to revamp their distribution network... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
massiveuniball Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 I can't access photobucket from work but if you PM me your email I can send you some pics I just took. Otherwise I'll do it when I get home later today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
massiveuniball Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 I feel for you guys. I ordered my bike in January with heated grips, top case and side bags. All were delivered to the dealer the first week of February...I obviously beat the rush. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattemike Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 If you search Ebay for FJ-09 you'll find some of the Yamaha parts you're looking for. Retail pricing but free shipping on some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nekura Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 I ordered the rear rack maybe 3 weekends ago. It came from Georgia, but they said it might take til June. I got it after two weeks. The touring screen took almost two months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

root Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 Grips are in! They actually hit one of their dates after missing it twice (that I know of)! I'm shocked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
db5304 Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 I got my grips as well. Just in time for high 80's to low 90's. Took about a month for mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cricket1 Posted June 15, 2015 Author Share Posted June 15, 2015 WOW, early! I just did the electronic Yamaha survey, and let them have it about the accessory back order situation. Probably won't matter much, but I did feel better after sending it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cricket1 Posted July 14, 2015 Author Share Posted July 14, 2015 Everything is in!!!! WHoo Hoo! Heated grips, BOTH hard bags, mounting hardware and lockset all arrived about a week ago! I had the dealer install the grips as part of the first service last week. I put the mounting hardware on Sunday, the Candy Red FJR bags look great! Also, I have the US rear rack for a trunk, and the only alteration I had to make with the hard bag lower mounts was to add two small washers to the left side bracket. Other than that, easy peasy.

toonbobo Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 Glad you got all your items in @cricket1. I ordered the grips when I bought my FJ on June 6th. Dealership called me two days before my scheduled first service and said they're back ordered. It had been about a month since then and hadn't heard anything, so I called in yesterday. They told me around the middle of August for the expected delivery. Parts guy also told me that 6 others are waiting on FJ items to arrive and expressed his frustration with the delay of the factory accessories. So, I'm hoping to receive the grips before winter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doctore777 Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 I ordered all side bags, mounts, locks, top plate and heated grips when I bought the bike 5 weeks ago. Everything has come in now except the heated grips which remain "on backorder." No date offered for when they might arrive. I was initially quoted they would arrive by mid-july. Fingers crossed!
