New Purchaser Checklist
Either personally double-check or ask the dealer specifically the following things before taking acceptance of the a new FJR:
* Are the saddlebag lock latch screws Loctited? (Validated this is still an issue with '07's, and: Security Torx Bit Link Clicky)
* Did you get the Third lock with bike in case you get a Yamaha top box?
* Are the Saddlebag body color caps included?
* Is the Toolkit under seat?
* Are the steering head bearings torqued? Many '05 were loose from the factory.
* Are the Mirrors tight? More than finger tightened. Consider changing to nylocs yourself when convenient. Or, alternatively, a tip from otrfjr: use 2 layers of teflon tape (the kind plumbers use & is $1 per roll) around the bolt. otrfjr found that this worked even better than the rubber washers on the mirrors.
* Point out any/all scratches
Things to check at 600 Miles:
Drive shaft spline, most have insufficient moly
Steering head bearing torque
Oil drain bolt over-torqued from the factory
Check rear brake caliper bolts (anti-seize) Clicky

15-Aug-2006, Bulletin M2006-012.
Affects only AE models, Range: 0006 - 0327, and 0011 - 0079 California
Part Information: Part Number: 90891-20120-00 ( a kit with 2 brackets, 2 nuts, 4 bolts, 6 drill bits, and a spline to 3/8" drive indicating torque wrench adapter.)
Test Part: Pull left side cover and air box cover. Pull shift linkage from the actuator. Use the adapter to install an indicating torque wrench (or torque analyzer) -- most will use a 2-beam torque wrench. Check for movement clockwise and counter-clockwise with 29 ft-lbs of torque (never exceed 29 ft-lbs). If the shaft moves -- replace the actuator assembly.
Install brackets (2): Pull shift actuator. Lower the rear shock remote adjuster (3 nuts). Drill out the threads to 8mm on the actuators rear mount hole (ONLY ONE HOLE). Install bracket to the inside of the frame with longer provided bolt. Install bracket 2 to aft mounting hole with the bracket stud installed in the sub-frame crossover plate (existing hole). (Do not know what the torques are -- see your dealer for a copy of the bulletin). Re-install actuator shift arm to the shaft and adjust according to service manual.)

Per ponyfool, although the Purolator number cross-references to Napa Gold 1365 (mfg: Wix), the gasket and the threads are nearly level with one another, thus when screwed on as far as it would go, the gasket never touched the engine, it stayed out about 1/16".

Coolant Temp Sensor: 290–354 Ohm (Ω) at 176 °F
Bar Graph:
There are 10 segments on the coolant temperature bar graph/display for Gen II FJR's. (Gen 1's have 6 bars)
Estimated bar to temperature conversion (otrfjr) (i.e. using the '05 values and dividing by 10)
Basis: If 1 bar = 104 (degrees Fahrenheit) and 6 bars = 248; for 10 bars >> then 248-104 = 144/10 = 14.4/per bar.
Estimations based on Gen 1 data:
1 = 104.0 - 118.4 (deg. F)
2 = 118.5 - 132.9
3 = 133.0 - 147.4
4 = 147.5 - 161.9
5 = 162.0 - 176.4
6 = 176.5 - 190.9
7 = 191.0 - 205.4
8 = 205.5 - 219.9
9 = 220.0 - 234.4

Adjustable Middle Fairing: Clicky for Pics
Allows warm air to be directed on or away from the rider.
Highly debated as to which position is for summer and winter, the bottom line is that it does not make anything cooler.
The adjustable middle fairings change the direction of the warm air, but does not reduce heat.
In the 'In' position, the stream of warm air is closer to the FJR, and with the 'Out' position, the stream is about 2-3" farther away from the FJR at the rider's peg.
Spark Plugs:

Front BrakePads (kit)
Each front caliper requires 4 pads, so you need 8pads total to replace all front pads.
OEM Part SKU# 3P6-W0045-00-00. This brake pad kit includes 2 pads and retails for about $70. EBC HH sintered Part SKU# FA423/4HH. Unlike the OEM kit, EBC's kit includes 4 pads and a kit goes for about $50. (note that many on-line sites incorrectly list SKU#FA417/4HH. This SKU WILL NOT FIT the Gen II FJR)
Rear Brake Pads (kit)
OEM Part SKU# 3P6-W0046-50-00, retails for about$50.
EBC HH sintered Part SKU# FA319/2HH (order 1 set),about $30.
Brake support pad
Front OEM Part SKU# 3P6-25919-00-00 Retail about$20 You'd need 4 total to do the front. It's not clear how many come in a package.
Rear OEM Part SKU# 5JW-25919-00-00 Retail about$5. You'd need 2 to do the back.
Gary McCoy recommended to a forum member that this pad be replaced with the brake pads.
According to some forum posts the EBC sintered pads do not wear as long as the OEM pads and may cause extra wear on the rotor. EBC does not make an organic pad for the FJR.

Heated Grips
For power consumption, See Iggy's '03-05 Bin-O-Facts for Clothing wattage: Clicky
Many have installed HeatTrollers for grip control.
Installing HeatTroller in the Left Handlebar: Clicky
In 2006, the FJR1300AE models were blessed with OEM grip heaters. The Gen II controller power the same grip watt level, but they have added a power management system to it. The OEM grip heater circuit monitors engine speed (RPM) and varies power with speed – at zero mph (low RPM) you get zero heat, and zero drain on the electrical system (as the RPM is not high enough). As the RPM increases above 3K (speculation on the number), the controller provides full power to the grips. Details: It is believed to be that Yamaha has gone from a 'level comparator' controller to a one chip solution using a 555 timer.

Spring rates and conversions (Thanks FJRFencer):
1 N/mm = 5.724 lb/in (springrate)
1 N-m(torque) = 8.85 lb-in (torque)
From Lee At Traxxion
There are two shock springs on the Gen1 and Gen2 FJR.
Specific to Lee's experience with the '05 (Gen1) and '06 (Gen2):
(Gen 1) '05 has a short 1400 lb/in spring AND a longer 670 lb spring.
On the soft setting, the two springs are used in series and provide a 440 lb/inch rating.
On the hard setting, the short spring is locked out and the single 670 lb spring is used.
(Gen II) '06 has a short 1800 lbs/inch spring AND the same 670 lb longer rate spring as the Gen I.
Learned from testing and measuring the (Gen II) '06 shock: The soft setting was upped from the Gen I to make it more useful to a wider range of riders while the hard setting was left unchanged from Gen I.
(Physical dimensions were exactly the same on the '05 Gen 1 and the '06 Gen II)

Several have posted issues with the 31 ft-lb Yamaha specified oil drain bolt torque (i.e. 'stripping' the threads). Also several posts on factory believed to have over tightened the oil drain bolt.
Tip: Copper replacement if you chose not to use OEM oil drain crush washer:
Auto part store: 1/2" 12MM O.S. (M14) DRN. Plug Gasket Skew: 0 80358 18128
OEM oil drain crush washer part number is: 214-11198-01 and this same gasket fits the shaft drive drain plug

Clutch:
The clutch slave cylinder was re-designed on the Gen II, and many have found better clutch action by replacing the slave cylinder with a Gen I clutch slave cylinder. JeffAshe's link: Clicky

Diagnostic Mode:
(Appears to be the same for '03 - '05)
To enter Diagnostic Mode: Have the key turned off (kill switch on) and press the Select and Reset together. Turn the key to on and hold the buttons for about 8 seconds. A screen will apear that reads "d1 AG". release the buttons.
(so far, same as prior models)
Use the "SELECT" select "Co" adjustment or the diagnostic mode "d1 AG". Press Select and Reset for 2 seconds. "d:01" should appear on the clock if you did everything right.
Press "SELECT" for the next code, Press "RESET" for the previous code.
Codes go from d:01 to d:70 -- go buy a manual for the codes.
Note: Lean Angle Sensor (Overturned Motorcycle) Fault code: 30
Scroll through the diagnostic codes to:
61 (the history of fault codes). If you see a 0 at the bottom right then there are no trouble codes. However if you see a number 30 that is the code for an over turned motorcycle. If you have the code 30 and want to erase it. Press the select button and go to number 62 (erase history code). Then turn the kill switch off, then back on again. This will erase this and any other codes stored in the memory. Then turn the key off to go back to normal operations. If you have any more codes I suggest you order the big book from FJR Goodies to problem solve or take it to your dealer.

YES coverage can be bought from one dealer and apply to any other dealer fairly easily.
The one exception are Florida residents. That state is totally screwed up and passed a law that residents can only get insurance from in-state agents.

Horns
The stock horns are wimpy. The popular farkle is to upgrade to Magnum Blasters. Sometimes they're hard to find and may also be marketed as "Freeway Blasters" Part #72112 and # 72102 for the low and high version. They are supposedly made by FIAMM and likely are regulated by U.S. and the E.U. I got mine at a Schucks and are reported to be carried at Napa as "FIAMM Blasters".
