    Took a flight today in a 1948 SNJ-5 Texan - very cool

    I've been inside Fifi, beautiful bird.

    What did you do to your FJR today?

    New front tire and filed the aux fuel tank cap a bit more so it works much better. All ready for NAFO.

    2016 FJR1300 Best Choice?

    You're trying to compare two different style of bikes. You'll never get the FJR to perform like the FZ10/Tuono, it's apples to oranges.

    Move me to the "IN" category, please. If I only make one ride next year, it'll be this one.

    I'm a professional traveler and hadn't heard of this either.

    What did you do to your FJR today?

    Changed the oil in the engine and final drive and spark plugs. Blew out the air filter. Confirmed I have voltage to my dead Aux LED light...dammit. Filed the tabs on my aux fuel tank cap so I don't have to pry it off anymore. Cleaned the oily mess around the final drive weep hole and...

    Riding in the heat

    Here are a coule things I confirmed last year out west with several days above 100. 1. No cotton, anywhere. This means underware, socks, etc. High performance synthetics are your friend. They remove moisture efficiently and keep you cooler. 2. No exposed skin, anywhere. My jacket sleeve...

    Removing seat adjuster to install Corbin

    First thing I took off my bike, don't remember how though. I use the stock and Sargent seats without it. As you may have guessed, I'm vertically challenged.

    What did you do to your FJR today?

    Aw man, sorry about that. I wish I could say that I've never done anything like that, but I dropped mine with my better half on back. Her head bounced off the curb. At least you can feel good about never having done that!

    Bike stranded

    Ouch! Glad you're alright and I hope the hole is the only damage in that motor.

    My Baby shut down in mid flight.

    Geez man, you got me a bit stumped...then again, those AE bikes are as weird as their owners. :) I'd think if it were a fuel problem, it wouldn't start right back up without extra effort. Glad you finally made it off the side of the road. I'll be following this thread to see what you...
