Welcome from eastern PA! Judging by your windscreen, you’ve got plenty of flying insects in southern CA same as us. 😛

Welcome back to sanity from southeastern PA! 😉

Welcome from PA! As I understand it, there are some maintenance and/or recall items you’ll want to verify on your gen1 and this is a great place to be for that stuff …and yeah, pics do help spread the fun around. 👍🏼

I do not think you will be ok in “S” mode. Your smile will make people suspicious. 🤣

Congratulations and welcome from eastern PA! This is a great place to learn about your new-to-you ride and connect with likeminded people. If you are inclined to turn wrenches, the forum is an excellent resource for tackling routine maintenance procedures and addressing any recall issues that...

Thanks a bunch! Will do all the homework I can and be as prepared as possible… 👍🏼

Thanks, Ross. Thermostat because it doesn’t seem to maintain operating temp in cooler weather? Spark plugs? Yes. Good idea. 👍🏼 As for the cam tensioner, I have no idea what I have. Is that something to check beforehand?

Greetings! I have just upgraded from an ‘07 to a ‘14 so I’d like to do a valve check on the ‘07 with 70k miles before my son takes over riding it. I bought it used with about 60k and have no idea if/when it may have been done by the previous owner. I need to learn how to do it anyway so… I’m...

Welcome from the east coast! Lots of valuable insight on the forum here …just not from me haha!

Welcome from eastern PA and from a fellow 2014 owner! Arguably the prettiest color FJR they made! 😉

Didn’t realize a mini sledge hammer and a sawzall would be required to work on an FJR. I’m learning every day… 😛

Dude! Yer bike’s facing the wrong way! How’d you get that up there anyway?? 😳 Congrats on the purchase and welcome from eastern PA!

Well said. I agree with all of this.

I get such a kick out of guys’ excitement over buying a 20 year old bike! A real testament to the quality and shear pleasure of riding one of these things! Congrats on your purchase!

$6,500 was a STEAL! Congrats and welcome from eastern PA!

Yeah, looks like this one is priced right. 😃

Great video footage! Sorry I missed you guys when you were up here in PA. Somehow or other our paths will cross. 👍🏼 Now that it looks like my son will be adopting my ‘07 (since I moved up to a ‘14), a trip down Skyline Drive could be in the works next year if not later this year. 😊

Oops. Forgot to mention that in the front, the right side fork needs to have the hook end of the ratchet strap wrapped around the fork at the lower triple tree (because there’s stuff in the way of simply hooking onto the triple tree) and on the left side you come up behind the triple tree and...

I have a cheap Harbor Freight wheel chock that has tie-downs built into it. I feel the design principle is sound in that the tie-down points pull the bike firmly FORWARD into the wheel chock. Compress the forks 1-2” and it won’t budge. In the rear, I come across from a point maybe 12” behind...

First pic shows system “inactive.” Second one switched to “ready” to accept bag(s). (That shelf does flip forward or aft but in the forward position the bag itself would make contact with the pretty painted surface) The rest of the pics should be fairly self-explanatory. Feel free to pm me if...
