    Rear Tire Feathering

    Thanks Brodie, art, and Fred, The numbness starts in the right fingertips. I can feel it spread to the entire fingers if I let it. When fully engulfed I have no feel of the brake and it is scary. I do not let that happen. The left hand not nearly so much, but I already have been trying to...

    What did you do to your FJR today?

    New to the forum, so I get to say what I did up to now? Good, I will :) I also did the FZ-1 mirrors. Couldn't have kept the FJR without them. Corbin seat, front half heated, back half with backrest. Bag attached to back of backrest and FJR bags temporarily removed to make garaging easier...

    Rear Tire Feathering

    Art, Sorry to whine, I dislike whiners myself. Just trying to figure out my way here. Interestingly though, even though I went about it the wrong way, I have learned so much here. Not only has Swollen Raccoons tip helped me corner much better, but now roger dodgers tip about Master Yoda...

    Rear Tire Feathering

    I bought and installed a helibar. That brought on shoulder pain. So I took it back off. I am sure the numbness is caused by holding the bars too tightly. Or putting weight on them. At first I thought it was more of the Carpal Tunnel i get typing here. But that comes on slow and takes time to...

    Rear Tire Feathering

    While not finding any hits on vibration that I was looking for, I tried "numbness". Lots on that. I will have to absorb all that before I ask. Some folks leaving the FJR over it. Oh My. I have it bad, but I will work around it, hopefully. Thanks

    Rear Tire Feathering

    Well well... look who feels foolish now. :) I guess I did take offense at the title FNG, to me, in my former working life, the F stood for a swear word. It seems unneeded to use that name. Call me "Training Wheels" or whatever, but I take offense to the F part. It is like the admins have an...

    Rear Tire Feathering

    Hello Uncle Hud, All my searches here for Feathering brought no help, and surfing google at large kept bringing me to "your rebound is set too soft, that is why you have the cupping". But it isn't cupping, it is feathering, but since I didn't know it was from spirited riding, I set the...

    Rear Tire Feathering

    Thanks all, Very interesting comments. The picture isn't mine, the feathering looks just like that, but not all the wear on the middle. I just clicked over 6k this morning. I am riding a bit faster as I get more and more comfortable. But aggressive? Maybe a bit more throttle on exits, but that...

    Rear Tire Feathering

    Hi All, This is my first post after making my greeting post. I have an issue that scare me a little. I have had my 2016 FJR ES since October, and in the first 4000 miles all was fine. All miles done on twisty roads, almost NO freeway Now here in the last 1000 or so, I have noticed feathering...
