I just sold my FZ1 and now have my 08 FJR and I can tell you there is a world of difference. The heat on the FZ was unacceptable! The wind noise was unbelievable NO matter what windshield you used. So much bug guts on my visor I was cleaning the thing at every stop not to mention the ones that...

Hi All, Thanks so much for your replies. I rode her 200 miles on Friday and she now feels like a part of me. Her name is Jazz and I REALLY like this bike. I noticed that my neck and back started to hurt after a while. I have the risers and have the bars set in the holes closest to me; however...

That could be. This bike has a whole different feel to it and I'm trying too hard not to make any mistakes. Will try leaving the clutch alone and giving her a little more gas. The FZ was so touchy on the gas that I learned to to give her very little if I didn't want the front wheel in the...

Hi All, Lowered my 08 Raven and finally had a chance to ride her solo and here are my impressions: First, I would NEVER have ridden this bike without lowering it. I killed her at a stop sign and would have lost her for sure if I had not had both feet on the ground. Even lowered she handles...

Hi there, Can you tell what brand they are (how much rise) or do you have a picture??? Thanks, Penny

Hi All, Just picked up my new 08 Saturday. Two things I need to do ASAP. I already ordered the lowering links; however, I need help with risers. Here is what the Helibar site says: The optional accessory risers are designed to work only with the original HRT Triple Clamp (part # HRT076). These...

  THANKS a bunch for all the information. Unless I can find one already lowered to test ride I'll have to have someone give me a ride on the back. At least I'll be able to see how she feels. Funny I haven't riden on the back of a bike in years.   Penny

Yes, I have experienced the sidestand slide and always leave my bike in gear. Just last week someone in our party moved my bike and left it in neutral. When I went to get on it rolled and I just about lost it. Several near misses but I have never owned a bike this heavy and it is one of the...

But I don't want to drop my bike (I know, no one does).... :( I've never dropped one before and I don't know if I want to buy one knowing it is going to hit the dirt.

I'm looking forward to hearing from her. I am absolutley sure the FJ would need to be lowered and the seat mod done. I was able to lift the one that was lowered off the stand and balance it just fine. However, I have tired the one on the showroom floor here in Hamilton and everyone enjoyed a...

YES, it is wonderful! I have a loop I ride often. Up over Lost Trail Pass, come down 43 to Wisdom, go over toward Jackson, up over Pioneer Scenic route, back to Wisdow and home. I LOVE this ride... :)

Hey there Big Sky!!! I'm from Hamilton! Just rode over your way a couple weekends ago. Great ride through the Big Hole... :) Will pm you with a bunch of questions. Penny

Hi All, My FZ1 is simply to HOT to ride in the Montana heat so she is hitting the road. Now I must decide on a new bike. I have been researching the FJR but have some real concerns. I am 5'3" and inseam challeged. I was riding the other day and met a man that had an FJR that he had lowered and...
