Yamaha Accessories- on backorder :(


Recommended Posts

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!!!

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...

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. :)

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 :P

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!
