    Hospitals are filthy dangerous places. Bikes are safer. Hope you are out by now and on your way to a kick-*** recovery.

    fj-09 Do not think so

    Two totally different rides. Some of us are weird. That FZ-6 is a low powered fat pig. Grab a 675 instead.

    I Hate Black Wheels !

    That just looks RIGHT man, making one of the best FJR colors look good in the MKE ! I now want a Lisa's Pizza on Oakland. And to ride the lakefront again.

    Great article, I welcome the evolution. Lighter torque is always enjoyable but nothing tops the FJR's stability at speed, power and good looks. The FJ-09's 114 mph limit was found several times today, very obnoxious as the bike pulls so strong and stable to that soft marshmellow zone. I'll see...

    That poor Versys...relegated to mule duty. I traded a V 650 on the FJ, very similar handling and geometry on the two bikes. I hope the green V gets to shed the shipping box and romp once camp is struck, they are great bikes and very underrated.

    I really dig mine. FJRish electric torque and only 458 lbs. I'll flash the ECU for a faster top speed and keep my 2005 ICBM FJR for that specific task. The triple makes a great sound, usable power on demand. You can't get the feel from a test sit, this will be my Arkansas - Colorado twisty line...

    Final Drive Swap: 6th gear solution?

    Interesting project. 45 mpg is fine with me and the 5K rpm at 80ish seems natural for a bike intended for sport touring. There is a huge gap between 2nd and 3rd gear in tight twisty stuff that this probably makes wider. Think US 129 or some Arkansas roads we enjoy. Droning along in long distance...

    FYI FJR1300 hard bags fit the FJ09

    They fit but look like two swollen hippo ***** on the FJ from behind, or Beyonce if you prefer. Function over fashon may be the thing here, a wrap from any sign company could allow some design options.

    All assesed and planned before execution. Scenario: 3 loaded livestock trailers doing 65 on a wide open unlimited visibility downhill 2 laner in the Hill Country, you can take a **** shower, pull over and wait until it dries or get on with your journey. Several roads here to max out the FJR at...

    Yamaha FJ-09 Sport Tourer Update

    Deal breaker,,,hung out to die in the left lane while passing a cattle truck with a few dear friends in tow. Safety flaw, fix it.

    Sad News, RIP Robert Swift

    This is very sad news. Robert rode Arkansas with the FZ group on several occasions, smooth fast and experienced. He really enjoyed the motorcycle life and knew more about bikes than most. RIP Robert.

    APOCALYPSE: Warchild BMW Insanity

    We only live once, sweet looking and begging for a warm day of flogging. Subscribed for the BMW experience ala Warchild.

    Best Scenery 2014

    Best thread evah !! Top 5 at minimum, great pictures of the FJR in it's natural environment being enjoyed by riders who appreciate such things.This is why we do it, The '05 Galaxy Blue species looking exceptional.

    For Green Bay Slackers Fans:

    No way that mullet head is from Wisconsin, the image is obviously Alabama chique. Cowboys just barely won last week, Packers look like they may be weary of the long season but GO PACK GO ! Seahawks look strong.

    Brake & Clutch Levers

    Fit and finish on the pazzos are worth the entry price IMO, those replicas look great and if that price difference will break you go cheap.The angle and precise fit is noticed everytime they are used or oggled. There is nothing wrong with making good money on a quality product.

    Bosch 3323 oil filter

    How has the box changed ?

    How much is gas where you live?

    $ 2.26 at a Racetrac station in the seamy underbelly of Dallas, have a weapon handy and stay close to the truck while fueling. I bet we see $1.99 before years end here.

    2014 FJR-ES with police bars

    Looks like the perfect platform for kick *** audio speakers, we can do a subwoofer / smuggler design and rock on down the highway.
