    Cycle World writer Kevin Cameron knows Squat

    Weekly, his articles drop onto my computer screen, always worth the read. This article above confirms my bias that I can't own an FJR ES model cuz " rule forbids use of external electrical or hydraulic systems to power such ride height changes." Thanks for looking. Cameron's detailed writing...

    Can GP fork inserts be refurbished?

    Yes, from VMaxChuck's Gen 2 forks which he also used on a 16'. They were fun! The new guy Buda from WA state (aka John) was saying his Gen 1 forks needed work, and he seems dangerous enough with hand tools, having slammed 7k miles on his frame since he got his first FJR just this year, all...

    Can GP fork inserts be refurbished?

    These GPs came out of my forks when Andreani cartridges were installed. Can they be used again? Can they go into a Gen 1 forks? Would giving them as a "hand-me-down" be an insult? Or an unreasonable cost to refurb? Thank you, Forum members.

    What did you do to your FJR today?

    Got new cartridges installed by a good man local, he even scraped off the GP stickers. Only then I realized maybe not so street legal, but ignorance is my alibi for Mr. LEO, as usual. The problem is that I don't have the heart to tell the bike we've both aged out of possible track days. So...

    First scratch

    The color of the safety warning sticker still stuck on your gas tank is f'ing up the "pop" of your color palette. May I suggest you take another "hit" and rewrap with a Magenta color twice as dark as the safety cages? p.s., I'm taking a hit and looking at magenta color swatches too. Happy...

    Bike Wont Start

    I'm appreciative for thinkingofone. Thanks. What questions can be asked to the exhaust porting based on the picture of the overhead cams? Does it look so clean on the way out? Asking for a friend.

    Fork bolts

    I used this method yesterday reinstalling my tuned forks cuz I remembered reading your suggestion this summer, and it worked, and proved itself quickly on the road test. Thanks. ( note to self, again, next time squeeze front brakes a few times before coming off center stand ) 🏍️

    Tank will not align after lifting it.

    Is kampod's "life saver" the example of Forum's search feature Ignacious always whips attention? Smells like it. 🏍️ in a good way.

    typical "busa rider

    I transcribed the Dash-Cam at 7:42 minutes as follows: "What are you thinking, son? !!!" "Are you out of your F'ing mind, boy? !!!" "All you had to do was stop!!!!" "Why are you running a Suzuki? !!!!!" Words I've heard before starting in 1970, 76', 80, 81, and, of course, 1983, mostly in...

    typical "busa rider

    No need to watch another YouTube video featuring bad "busa behavior, except for the Pit maneuver at 6:54 minutes, and maybe the denting of Tupperware at 4:24 minutes, or best is watching the officers unload on this guy, asking him all sorts of questions, trying not to kill him at 7:41 minutes...
