    I guess you could always place a blanket inbetween the cover and the ski.
    So place a sheet on the ski first then place the cover over the top.

    I had a cover but never drove with it on. Just used it when it was in the garage.

    You can even sew/tac the sheet to the cover yourself. Shouldnt be to hard.

    I did have an 07 GPR
    Just sold it two weeks ago, getting my FZR in a few weeks.
    I must admit the GPR has been the best ski i have even owned, reliable, fun, speed, handling, easy to throw around and it was completly stock.

    The FZR has some pretty big shoes to fill.

    I'm looking at getting the FZS. I wanted the FZR but not really feeling the blue.

    Plus the towing capabilities can be handy.

    Where are you guys getting yours from and how much?

    Thanks!

Ive got a 08 GPR the last model manufactured its blue Iam a yamaha lover and the blue I think is yamahas genuine colour I often think that when i update i would buy a fzr but talking to the local dealer he said the 2010's were red but not real keen on that is it true that they are only coming out in red

    The FZR and the FZS are identical skis. The only thing that changes is the seat and the colour. The length, width and everything else is the same.
    Oh and the FZS has a rear boarding step.

    But Yamaha are bringing out the 2010 (red) FZR with a rear boarding step.

    The FZS is the three seater.

    The 2009 FZR is Blue, which is the colour i am getting. Blue is the Yamaha trademark and makes the ski go faster J.
    The 2010 FZR is coming out in red so if you want a red one grab a 2010 model which hasn’t been released in aus yet, but you will be paying that bit extra for the 2010 plate.

    Grab yourself a 09 model.
    Personally i love the blue better as well, red isnt really my thing.
