I had an 04 GS Adv, and it was the best motorcycle (non-Ducati division) I've ever owned. You found a great deal on a fantastic bike. Congrats!!

I've found that I can minimize wrist pain by: 1. Not supporting weight on my wrists, but using my body's core 2. Holding the throttle and slutch grips with a wrist angle that is not bent open at all, and just a bit past straight. For knees and hips, I move my legs a lot, before aches begin...

Congrats on a great ride!

What do you not like about the Audiovox?

Heaven,y roads today: San Luis Obispo, then hwy 46 wear, then 1 up to Monterey. I love that Hwy 1 section!! Then freeways to San Ramon. Lots of bikes out on the 1. More Triumphs than any other make, including Harley, which was great to see.

I know. Other priorities, haven't dropped in. On way home now.

Part of my challenge at the moment is that I didn't pack the card reader for my cameras, or even the cable I can hook up to download photos. Fun shots! And it turns out that Yamaha's US HQ is only a few miles away from Disneyland, and makes a convenient place to drop off the bike so I only...

Long time no post! Will update more later, but it's been a wacky trip. In San Diego now. Timeshare fails, wire funds fails, blah. But the bike is doing great, other than that I'm a bit worried about getting home with this front tire. I'm finding how sensitive the bike is to tire pressures...

I'd love to add highway pegs during my current road trip. I'm headed to Disneyland for a few days, will be in San Diego after that, and back in the San Fancisco east bay area end of next week. If somebody has highway pegs laying around and wants to sell, please let me know. Ideally I'd like to...

Ha! I searched for 'rear brake' and did t find anything, so I figured it was clear to post. Very thankful for helpful responses.

Thanks!!! The members of this forum rock :clapping: Much relieved. Will try to clean today as a short term help.

Yesterday on the road I noticed that when I use the rear brake, the pedal doesn't fully release. I can pull it back up with the toe of my boot. Not sure if this happens at speed, I only noticed it in a gas station parking lot and a Starbucks. My first guess is that the caliper, or a piston in...

If SeattleTy doesn't take the windscreen, I'd Iike it.

Oh, also.. WA state valued the FJR at $9500 for sales tax purposes. After arguing, the DMV lady dropped valuation to the lowest she could, $7500. Still way too high, way more than I (happily) paid for a bike with 55k mi and cosmetic issues. That hurt.my budget. WA stare DMV is not on my...

It took longer than expected for my wife to be ready to leave, so we just arrived in Salem. Freeway the whole way, at or just under the posted limits. Perhaps relatedly, I'm getting my best gas mileage ever on this tank :P Playing at the Enchanted Village theme park tomorrow,may stay here...

Hah, thanks x2 :P

Thanks!

Here begins the tale of my family vacation to San Diego. My wife and I and two kids are going there for 2 weeks' vacation. Our plan was to fly, but fares just spiked so we decided to drive. Yesterday, plans took a rapid turn when my wife texted me and asked if I wanted to ride the FJR while...
