He's either grin f*&king you or you need a new dealer. Any shop that services sport bikes knows the difference between the PPs and PRs. As others have said, it's a great tires. It is dual compound and people are getting 5k out of the tire with aggressive riding. There is also a very different...

BTW Fergi, nice looking bike, fast things usually are blurry!

There are also thousands of examples of 4-1, 2-1, 2-1-2, for motorcycles, cars, racing etc. All racing applications I've seen combine, for nascar they run two 4-1 systems. You are not trying to pump more volume down a smaller pipe, the pistons fire at different intervals. Each exhaust pulse...

This is probably a repost of a respost, but I thought that motorcycle-usa did a much better analysis of these bikes: https://www.motorcycle-usa.com/Article_Page...5874&Page=1 Sport rider only mentioned the C14's heat issues casually: That was a major concern of mine and I've read articles...

Think about it - the O2 sensor works with the ECU as a closed loop system to control fueling and emissions. Now you want to add a PC3 to remap the ECU and control the A/F characteristics of the bike. Do you see the conflict here? Get rid of the O2 sensor.

Great picture, where do you put the humans? That is a fine example of the FJR's touring side.

Suzuki is following the Super Duke look. I'm not into the transformer look, but it seems to be a trend.

The seat and windscreen are just shitty components, they are not sport oriented by design. Handle bar height requirements are driven by the size of the rider, the FJR handle bar position is not close to a sport bike riding position.

I don't measure the "sport" side of the bike based on the engine size or top speed; I measure the "sport" side by weight and "flickabliity". To me the recently discontinued Ducati ST line (I owned the ST3) and the triumph ST is more sport, and the FJR, BMW K1200GT/R1200RT, Kawi K14 (yes, k14...

+1, Works great, inexpensive, repair is done right and I've used it to fix tires on bikes of people I ride with. Sucks just as much when someone you're riding with gets a flat, ride-on isn't going to fix your buddies tire. The shop I bought my FJR from used to sell all new bikes with tire goop...

I'd like to hear this explained in technical terms. While oil marketing wants us to believe that new oil = better performance; I've never seen a dyno chart or other technical article indicating any measurable engine performance benefit following normal oil change intervals. What's happening...

+1, fresh oil doesn't free the engine. It's good you're happy with the dealer, but you need to determine if they're really doing you any favors. Did they use Yamalube or a synthetic? $69 is fair, but not a bargain for an oil change using Yamalube. Did they change the final drive oil? There...

I'm not sure I'm following this thread, was it the same dealer that screwed up the install that made it right? If that's the case, I'd hold the praise and warn people that the dealer is incompetent. Imagine if you were riding with a group when the bag flew off it killed another rider. Would...

How many of you saw the Long Way Round before seeing "Down” and really liked “Down”? The first series was excellent, my wife and I watched it twice and loved every minute of it. We were psyched when they released the new series and I immediately dumped $80 on the DVD set. But we were...

Since buying my 08A in early June I have 1500 miles on it now. I just joined the board this week, but I've been a regular reader for about 6 months and an on/off visitor for probably 2 years.

I didn't see anyone answer LC Joe's question so I will. I have an 08 and it does have a sharp on/off throttle response. I can't say it's any better or worse than previous year models. In most riding situations it's not a problem, but it can make stepping through the gears a bit choppy. The...
