I really like the BT-023... the rear held up for approx 13000 kms (and the front for approx 17000 kms). It did well in rain, etc. I compare them to the Pirelli Angel GT which have been very good for their stickyness. I actually get less mileage from the Pirelli. I would run another set of...

Really love my Techmount... the "best" GPS is what you can afford or the one that offers the features you need (best would be a Zumo if you are looking for waterproof, glove friendly - but they are expensive. So some will say to get a Nuvi and use a ziplok bag). If money is not an issue, the...

Was out on Vancouver Island this summer but out timeline was too tight to include Tofino... I do plan to revisit BC but on the motorcycle next time. Heard lots of good things about Tofino.

Same for me, the Shure didn't cut it. Really happy with my RHA MA750i.

https://www.fjrforum.com/forum//index.php/topic/163166-darla-install/ My fork mounted LED lights... I know you said that the Clearwater are more than what you are willing to pay, but you do get a complete ready to install bulletproof setup. Love mine.

Nice !! Looks like you had a great time... Makes me want to do a FAST training course here in Canada.

Yup, me too.... just could not pull the trigger for the price of the 590. :o

11.3 is the standard for most Japanese motorcycles.....

As mentioned by others, some cupping is very normal.... my front has approx 12000 kms (not miles) and it is showing some minor cupping. Nothing to worry about. So it depends how bad it is.

Here is a good post which has numerous photos... including mine. https://www.fjrforum.com/forum//index.php/topic/150160-gps-mounting-location/page-3?hl=techmount

You can search for 'gps mount' and 'techmount'..... you will find tons of info. This subject has been discussed over and over on this and other forums so you need to do a search first. If I find my post with the photos, I will tag you the link in your post to make things easier for you. As...

I removed the speakers completely and I replaced the Sena base with this one (which allows you to use earphones/ear buds) : https://www.canadasmotorcycle.ca/sena-smh-10-helmet-clamp-kit-for-earbuds.html With the speakers installed, I would believe that clearance would be too restricted.

I started with the speakers but I did not like the volume being set high in order to hear things properly...so I tried a new setup with ear buds. I was looking for hearing protection as well so my ear buds offer noise isolation (up to 32 dB). What a difference, music was clear, phone calls...

I was disappointed in the sound quality of the Shure 215. Returned them and went with the RHA MA750i. Big difference in sound quality. The Shure had a nice build quality but the RHA is as well built if not better.

Like Fred W, I think it sounds like a bad TPS (throttle position sensor).... as for the uneven idle, all FJRs do that. My 2009 and 2014 did it. Just curious, how many miles on the bike ? New spark plugs could help and a TBS would not hurt if it hasn't been done in a while.

Here is a link to my Clearwater Darla install which should be very similar to your Kristas..... https://www.fjrforum.com/forum//index.php/topic/163166-darla-install/ I have a lot of photos which might help you. I would not dummy down the install in order to get the best usage out of your...

I have a set of Clearwater Darlas.... glad to hear that the company stands behind their product if I ever run into issues.

I bought the RHA MA750i ear buds. They are noise isolating (block out outside noise). I love how they are supported over the ear, so they stay put very well. I did an Ironbutt with these and no issues with regards to comfort. They come with different sized ear tips (silicone and memory...

Quarter mile for a R6 is about 10.7 sec at 211 km/h.... FJR1300 should be about 11.2 sec at 195 km/h. These numbers are from a 2015 motorcycle guide. So, it should be close, but like RossKean, I think the R6 should take it.
