    Test drove k1200gt

    I would be worried about, where to get it fixed, while out on a long ride with mechanical problems. I think there are many more Yamaha shops then Beemer shops to crash land for help. They are both great bikes!

    Suspension recommendations

    Ohlins 46PRCS is what I have and it works great. I would go to Aftershocks for the install if I had it to do again. The most important thing is to match the front shocks with the back one. Dont do just one, they need to be matched! Got to weigh yourself and your gear to determine your actual...

    Techmount - ZUMO Mounting ?

    Funny you should ask :blink: The plate I got from techmount didnt fit. The problem, likely mine, was because I already had the Techmount Stem mount for the GarminV. They sent me the top plate only. It is made of 1/8th inch thick aluminum and is pre-drilled as a universal type mount for...

    soft, or hard?

    If you want maximun performance then load up and check the sag like you did when setting up your suspension. (What do you mean you forgot? :unsure: ) Its not guess work, its Physics. Get someone to help you that knows how to set the sag. Then worry about the damping knobs. Although, if...

    Do any FJR Bros out there have the shorter levers? How do you like them?

    Powerlet Rocks again!

    Powerlet hooked me up with a Zumo cord like they used to make for the Garmin V. You know, the one with the Phone cord style. I had one for the Garmin V but upgraded to the Zumo550 recently. I noticed that they didnt make one for the Zumo, on their website. I called them and spoke with John...

    Gold color tank emblem

    I tried 3X to get them at the dealership. All 3X they came in as Silver. What is the trick to getting them? I was told that they want to keep them for the true LE owners and not let any out. E-bay hmmm I'll have to check that out.

    Pazzo Racing Levers installed

    What is the best lever size for the FJR? I'm almost tempted to get the short ones. Hard to tell without doin' the 'ol try before you buy. :unsure:

    Is a new 06 worth $4k more than an 05 with low milage

    In my opinion, NO. Maybe try before you buy. :unsure:

    Best new technique from TWN

    I would bet that this is also the reason for some FJR and XX guys wearing out 2-3 rear tires for each 1 front tire. Take for instance Warchild's recent succession of three rear tires done but the front one made it the whole way, during the BBG x7 run. I used to think rear tire wear was mostly...

    Best new technique from TWN

    The now famous Two Wheel Nut may have given me the best FJR tip of the Summer. As we were on the subject of making a tight turn at slow speeds on the FJR. (Isabella trip) He said try using a little tension on the back brake to settle the bikes motion without causing the front shock to compress...
