    06 heat problem

    took my new 06' for it's first ride yesterday.76 degrees. I kept feeling the tank with my hand.NO TANK HEAT.none. Had a ST1300. Got rid of it fast because it got HOT. The 06' FJR is a pretty darn nice bike.Just lovely in corners. Scoots. :D

    potential buyer has question, how reliable is the fjr.

    Howdy,oakmac. I had a new Beemer RT,once. I won't bother you with all the problems I had.At least one on every trip I took on it. Dumped(sold) the piece of junk at 28,000 miles. My wife calls BMW the "Big Mistake on Wheels". I had 2 Honda ST1100s. Never had ONE problem with either. Great bikes...

    '06 Givi Rack Alternative

    retired soldier, thanks for the pics & info. I took the seat off my o6' and there's a sticker under it saying max weight on the stock rack is 7 lbs(WAAAY to low for a sport touring bike). Any idea what the Givi will haul? Maybe the same since it uses the stock supports??? Thanks.

    FJR on gravel and fire roads

    For what it's worth, I've ridden ST1100s,Beemer RTs and a ST1300 on lots of dirt,gravel & mountain backroads. Love it. Worst I've seen are some dirt roads in Louisiana & S W Mississippi. Lots of loose sand. Pockets of it camoflaged like duck hunters. You hit'm before you know it. I've found...

    FJR does a Single Lindsey without success

    Hitting the rear brake in a panic situation. A real problem. How do you get your mind ingrained with front brake use so you instinctively use it in emergencies? A tough one. I try to do it by thinking about it A LOT. Practising stops. Often by riding with two fingers on the front brake and...

    Dealers that have recieved FJR's

    Mine is at the dealers in Ohio with NO bags. I pick it up tomorrow (May 1). Sat on it.Hate to say this but just sitting on it is less comfortable than my former BMW 1100 rt, ST1100s & ST 1300. Tank area is fat--feels like my legs are being pushed apart(I'm not fat).Not as upright riding position...

    I have a ST1100. No way I'm getting rid of it until I give this 06' FJR a heck of a workout,assuming it ever gets here.

    06FJR deliveries

    orangevale,thanks. And your news that mid-range power is increased is GREAT news. I never owned a Yamaha before largely due to the power being mostly at high rpm on the few Yammys I rode. Am very glad to read your comments.Thanks gain.
