I get it, it's annoying to keep seeing tire threads for those who've been around for years. But with forums dying in favor of other means, I really don't feel bad for starting one up. This one has 66 replies now, that's a lot of members who engaged with the site. A lot of opinions, yes of...

Wow I had a bit of reading to do lol. Bit of engagement on the site is nice. Thanks to everyone who answered, my friend did recommend to me and is gonna try some T32 GTs on his FJR but yeah I've not heard nice things about the lifespan. Kinda leaning towards the road 6s... I just got a tire...

I know, I know... I started a tire thread on a motorcycle forum. Might as well have been asking everyone who they vote for. I did try searching but couldn't find anything newer than when Road 3s would be considered brand new. And to be honest I wanted subjective opinions of what people here have...

Hi again! I'm curious as to what tires everyone is running and how they like them and what kind of mileage they get. I'm shopping for my next set, my Pilot Road 4s the bike came with have probably 1-2k left. I'm between Roadtec 01s and Road 5s.. But the Road 5s are curiously cheaper than the...

I definitely think it should be there. It's pretty basic. Not sure why you would need a dealer and probably $70 for that

Yes, it is an 08. I found it here in this other thread - https://www.fjrforum.com/threads/idle-adjustment.118355/ - It was easier once I changed search terms to "gen 2" instead of "2008" My friend's 2022 has the knob pretty much sticking out, so I figured mine isn't as convenient. Upon...

Pretty bike!

Really? Huh. Maybe it's a thing with our bodies. They made my thumbs hurt. Dampening the vibration makes a lot of sense. Yeah, I didn't expect really much of that information to be in the owners manual, but everyone was telling me it was in the owners manual. I get the whole RTFM thing, but...

Noted about ABS! I didn't think about that. I knew about the combined rear brake, but not about the ABS. I'll have to do some digging to know how to actuate the ABS module when it comes time to possibly replace that rear master cylinder. Throttle play appears to be in spec now. The bike had...

I got it!!! Me and three friends went up Friday night two up on my friends FJR. Got to a camp ground in north PA at like 1AM, slept, then woke up and went up to Rochester to get it. We got there, bike looks great. Fires right up, and my mechanic friend (who owns the other FJR) goes for a test...

Wow. Awesome idea that I will be trying. I would wire them into the bike, but I'll want to take the luggage off every once in a while and rip around. This seems like quite a good middle ground. Maybe I could put a USB power bank in it and be able to charge stuff and have a light? Hmmm...ideas

I believe you should be able to get ahold of facebook and get it fixed. But if not, oh well. It's not like a break from facebook would be a bad thing. I'd just start again

Pretty bike, looks clean

Thanks! And yeah... when I took my friend's FJR to Tennessee, I definitely felt it was heavier than my VFR. But... it feels like the weight is lower down. My concern is just moving it around more than dropping it honestly. Especially backing up, that I did struggle with and need help once or...

waitwaitwaitwait. The stator, is running at 100% load, like full voltage and current, even when not loaded or fully loaded? Is that true? That would be wild. Definitely not something I knew. Noted about the gear. You guys' testimonies puts me at ease running heated gear. I am excited to get...

That's comforting to hear. Single digits? Fahrenheit? Dang. You got me beat by a lot, my coldest is 25F. I'm surprised the FJR handles temps that low. My first (400cc) bike would swing up and down and drop below idle temp when you let off the gas in the 30 degree range. According to the...

I'm gonna have a lot of bookmarks after this lol. Thanks for the info. Good to know about the gearbox, and reliability. Maybe the 5th gear is taller and more akin to the 6th gear in the newer FJRs? Yeah, honestly good that he used a fusebox in the one I looked at and it looked well made and...

So sorry! It's already being purchased by my friend :) But that's awesome that you're still riding at 75. I sure hope to still be riding when I'm 75. I seriously cannot recommend the VFR enough, I'm getting this FJR because I'm well over 25k miles a year and doing long trips, and my commute is...

My god! Lol. That's a lot of FJRs

Hey cool! I'm around Chambersburg, maybe someday we can have a triple FJR ride? Sweet to hear about that EOM event. I'll try to go, and maybe see if my friend on the other FJR will come. WV has some excellent roads to ride
