Winter projects for the MT-10 includes a stunningly gorgeous carbon fiber headlight cowling. But you talk about a tedious install... oof! :confused: First, removing all the factory front end: This was not really a fun task... There are quite a number of bit pieces/trim to move over...

Good on ya for making this difficult decision, before some "incident" makes it for you. After 2 decades with this platform and riding all 4 generations of the FJR, I had to finally step away myself in 2021, downsizing to the Tracer 900 GT, which serves as my primary 2-up bike with wifey...

The PMR Switches are *exactly* what I was after - thanks, gents!

Great topic, I know... :confused: The CRS is getting disturbingly bad anymore. 🥺 The company who's name escapes me makes (or used to make) 12v switches that are affixed to clutch and brake reservoir mount bolts. The didn't make these switch housings for the FJR, due to our reservoir perch...

😃 This is a 3000-mile mixture of Flying Yellow Grasshoppers from Oregon, and nasty-*** Mormon Crickets from Utah and Nevada....

Huh... my naked Yamaha seems to make an outstanding sports-tourer machine for me.... over 15,000 miles just last summer alone: I also have one of 'dem 'dare 3-cylinder machines you mentioned... this is my primary 2-up interstate touring with the spousal unit: Throughout my many...

Tough situation to happen around the holidays. My advice: prepare the old bike for trade in. Remove all your farkles to the point it makes sense to do so. If you retained your OEM shock, it should go back on the bike. Then trade that in for a '23 model. The blue looks pretty fetching on the...

As it turns out, I am about to do this very same job on both the Tracer 900 GT and the MT-10 this winter. In fact, work on the Tracer begins tomorrow. Here is my Garage Assistant Kitty doing an inventory on the Spiegler kit for completeness:

On the prowl for more PNW-GT locations in eastern Washington farmlands, Aug 22, 2022.

First snow of the season always gives me a distinct attitude problem.

While the Tracer 9 GT+ has a lot of interesting tech, what it can not do is carry FJR1300 hard bags natively. Like my 2020 Tracer 900 GT can, which is why that bike has replaced the FJR for my needs. Have not lost any carrying capacity using FJR cases, and wifey and I tour on this platform all...

This is very sad to read - cancer sucks so bad. RIP, Ionbeam, we will see you on the Other Side. :(

I have always maintained that a clean bike is a happy bike. @SkooterG will back me up here, I am sure! :rolleyes: 😀

Correct. The MT-10 engine is notoriously thirsty right from the factory; after most owners have their ECU flashed for performance, mpg falls even further to 29-30mpg. So after flashing, low fuel light illuminates in 90-100 mile range. Obviously no good for Nevada purposes. I bought the bike...

I do too, Greg... miss those days terribly. Turbo Dave was a force of nature.

Well, I don't know what they will apply in this situation, I am sure Staff will address it as they see fit. I might speculate that this will result in a formal rule being spelled out in the next edition of the Official IBR Rules, and it'll likely include any penalties, which should be...

Spotwalla at 7:08PDT.... I am wondering what Mr 197 knows that no one else appears to know...? 🤔

This is a 5:45am PDT Spotwalla shot, we are already seeing three main trains forming, another good job by the Routemaster! (y) Riders #156 and #123 appear to be highly motivated.

They are starting to check in at Tulsa.... this bike hit something serious to take out that huge-*** windscreen! 😮

Did you all read this latest Daily Report closely? I predict it's going to be extremely bad for the rider who did this. The VERY LAST thing riders were told before departure is to use good judgement in every action they take. This rider failed. Woe be unto this rider when s/he gets to Tulsa...
