    Distance Riding Improvements?

    do planking exercises to strengthen your core and wear a Camelbak to keep hydrated as not drinking enough will cause fatigue sooner.. I never ride more than 50 miles without my Camelbak..

    I believe there is a song about that and it goes like this: "well I'm gonna miss her".....

    From R1 to FJR; my observations

    I have a 2002 Honda CBR 954RR in the garage next to the FJR for when I feel the need to satisfy my hooligan urges. But dang, I can only be scrunched up on it for about 150 miles before cramps set in. My FJR has been and still is a great machine after all 112,000 miles.

    How hard do you run your FJR, and how often?

    After 110,000 miles on my '05 FJR I believe I can safely report that on nearly every ride it goes to redline at least once during the ride. YMMV.

    Real Road Racing Series

    Great racing on streets with little or no protection from the hazards.

    Pivot Maintenance - FJR Stand?

    First time I did my '05 FJR I used a hacksaw blade and just cut the head off the two offending bolts after loosening them up. Put them in the other way when I reassembled and now no problems when do the job again. Nothing special about those bolts so any good bolt of the same length will work.

    2016 Is Official 6-spd, Slipper, LEDs, Analog Tach, Price

    I can hear it now from buyers of the 2016 - this bike would be perfect IF ONLY I didn't have to downshift from 6th to make a quick pass at 70 mph. YMMV.

    Removing relay arm from frame

    just did this service on my '05 last weekend and of all the bearings/joints on the rear suspension, the middle one on the relay arm discussed above was most in need of new lubrication.

    New Philips H4 LED

    Interesting but still too expensive considering how much riding I don't do at night. Until that price comes waaaaay down it will be Osram Nightbreakers in the FJR.
