And just exactly WTF is wrong with "knowing about Beemerdons meltdowns"? Some of us would give an awful lot if we could read just one more BeemerdonS meltdown.

You certainly ought to accept some responsibility for my recent Dual Sport purchases. Someone has to take responsibility for this foolishness.

I am somewhat jealous, this ADV bike thing is starting to appeal to me more and more. Since I hate chain maintenance that leaves just the big BMW and the Super Tenere. Since I am Jealous and I am a Smart ***... Oh, look Old Michael bought a bike just like his Hero, SkooterG! Isn't that Sweet?

The R1200RT may have been around a long time but it has steadily been updated and improved. It is a Very Nice Bike. The FJR has had many, many refinements and gets better and better. It is already so good that I question what changes would be necessary to make it into whatever imaginary...

If you have not ridden a post '13 FJR you can not imagine how many tiny upgrades have been done. The newer FJRs are just a whole lot more pleasant to ride. Most folks who don't understand the big BMW R1200GS have never ridden one. I also got burned by a BMW automobile and will not consider...

Good Work. Good Stuff.

Thanks for that very thorough review. Pop and I are both running the original Neotec but we are both considering the newer Neotec 2. Mine is really about due for replacement anyway. Regarding cost, I don't think $1K is excessive considering what you get. While I do firmly believe that any...

To be completely serious (yeah, I know. But I will try!) I know what you do for a living and I know your troubleshooting skills should be excellent. I know that if you have not found A Reason you have to be concerned. You know the history of this bike, you know everything about it. I cannot...

I still have not read any definite original cause for this...shutdown. It was locked up but it wasn't. It had a cylinder full of fuel but there was nothing wrong with the injector. Weren't there gold bars in the oil? I forget now, it has been so long since all of this started. Other than a...

Heal well and solid Big Guy.

OMG! Now that I have read this Bad Review on the Internet I am afraid to ride anywhere on the Road 5s! Thank Goodness I am only commuting! What was I thinking when I bought these POS tires?

Less typing, more working if you don't mind. If you don't get this thing done before EOM... If you cannot type and work at the same time, typing has to stop. Finish fixing the bike, then type all you like. I did mention armchair quarterbacking and critiquing did I not?

OH NO! Don't do it my Friend! Running a Car Tire AND a non GT spec tire on your FJR will surely result in a Fiery Plastic and Aluminum Death. Seriously would like to know how it does. Always fascinates me how some tread patterns cause different things with our bikes.

Dammit Fred, stop blaming ME for the dismal performance of my motorcycle(s)! You and this Logic/Truth stuff is really starting to wear on my nerves. I will sort of disagree with you on one point, I would have combined rider skill and tires. While no tire can compensate for a lack of skill...

No, Intech. This is all about what you did wrong and what you should have done differently. Give us some more information so we can armchair quarterback and critique your moves.

It's even farther from here.

This Dual Sport/ADV crap is EXPENSIVE! I am thrilled to know that you are enjoying life and buying more motorcycles.

Lower unit oil is probably not an issue. The engine is (I am guessing here) just a marinized small block Chevrolet so the oil and filter should be nothing special. What would you do about the oil if you had a Chevy truck with the same hours and usage? You are probably over thinking this. Can...

Gitbox that's just Crazy Talk! You and Fred need to stop applying logic to this and just accept the Magic for what it is.

Well there is Fred talking sense again. I just hate that. I still would LOVE to see Cruise Control on the Africa Twin and the V-Strom. I recently sat on both of those bikes and that was the one thing that bothered me. Yeah, I am spoiled, yeah I am soft but the CC is almost a necessity for...
