E-Steve,

I'm aware of the recall on the FJRs, but it doesn't effect my bike. I bought mine in June 2014, well before the new 6 speed transmission was introduced for the 2016 model year. I guess that by cramming another gear into the same transmission space was a bit of an overreach. Thanks for your concern but I don't think Mrs. Smith will be seeing a new FJR in the garage anytime soon!

Ride safe, I'll be stuck at the top of my snow covered driveway for a little while longer.

A buddy of mine just posted on his Facebook/Face plant account about a re-call on FJR1300 built between early December 2015 and December 2020 issued by the NHTSA.Reason for this is the the second gear dog can "break" while the engine is under heavy load.Recall number that was showing is:990141,so l am curious which route is cheaper for Yamaha: motor re-build,engine replacement or, feel like an extreme long shot, new FJR?!!!

Let us know how this pans out, be safe out there.....
