    Extremely low MPG

    When I first get any bike a always perform a range test. Fill the tank put a gallon of fuel in the top box and run it for a day or two until it runs out.

    27" inseam buying an FJR possibly

    There are a couple of things to do first, have the sides of the seat shaved and then shave some foam from the top, you can easily take an inch from the top of the seat foam.

Secondly you can shave at least an inch off the top foam without sacrificing comfort. I have a 29" inside leg and I can get the balls of both feet on the floor, with a...

    Lowering advice please.

    There are other options apart from lowering links. I have tried both methods. Shaving the seat is the way I went, the FJR seat is very wide so I started by shaving the sides, that allows you to get a bit more inside leg height. Then I shaved the top of the seat by about an inch. It's still...
