    Basecamp update

    Ok, maybe they didn't quite fix the problem. Or is it just me. It appears as though in adding layover time to total route time, they've included the time between current time and route planned start time as layover time. So, if I create a route today to ride to Stagecoach on December 30 (doubt...

    Wind Protection and Riding Posture

    cycle-ergo.com. Whenever I see an RT on the road I'm always amazed at how comfortable the rider looks. But they also don't seem to look connected to the bike either. Never ridden one, and probably never will. Like was said before, a good aftermarket windshield will do the trick on a gen2, I...

    Laam seats

    Just did an SS1k Friday, picking up 4 Tennessee TOH sites on my Laam seat. Due to the remote, non slab locations of TOH sites, the total time was 19.5 hours. I have never ridden with an RDL seat, so can't compare. But there's a huge difference between stock and the Laam seats. The stock seat...

    I can buy a new 2012 FJR for $11,800, should I?

    Why would anyone sell or trade a 2010 FJR. I can't imagine such a thing.

    Why oil level switch over pressure switch?

    There's no substitute for checking oil level before riding, especially one just purchased. Even a level switch can fail. I'll take a pressure switch. But with a bike as fantastic as the FJR, a level switch will do just fine.

    Thoughts after the first month of owning.

    +1 I've never done a "+1" before, it still makes no sense. I think I'll say "Great post, I agree totally".

    2600 mile trip for the 05

    200ccccc Attempt-10/10ths

    Yeah, my wife complained about the motorcycle going backwards, so I switched to the arrow which actually points in the direction you're going. At least she says it does, I can't confirm.

    oil level

    I know on a Z1000 from experience to put oil in a new filter before installing. The first time I changed the oil on it the oil pressure light wouldn't go out after I installed a dry filter. I had to slightly crack the oil filter loose with the engine running to get the oil flowing. So, because...
