    Help!, New FJR, Throttle Tight, Hard To Twist

    A new member joins the forum excited to anounce his new bike and voicing a concern.........let me get this right.....he should approach slowly, smile a little, quietly ask a few others in a nice manner whats up and then pay for the privalege? Forum life is just like real life? Acting like a...

    Help!, New FJR, Throttle Tight, Hard To Twist

    Congrats on the new bike, like the rest of us, you have great taste in motorcycles! Dont go rushing out of here yet, this is a very good site with lots of top flight info on the FJR, it appears that the long winter is having a negative affect on a few of the more sensitive among us...

    Renting 07 FJR

    Oh man, you guys are killing me, July is a long way off.....Nacimiento looks like too much fun to miss out on, here on the east coast we have our fair share of tight twisty bits but this looks like something special. Sure I would prefer to be on a Motard but I'll just have to suck it up and ride...

    Renting 07 FJR

    Highlander, nice pics there sir, I cant wait to see that in person, what time of year is that, looks cage free to me....I spotted that road going thru Hunter Ligget and was considering it for my E to W connection, when you say goat trail is that to say it is dirt? I dont mind some groomed dirt...

    Renting 07 FJR

    Wow, nice response....Highlander, this looks like a great loop, we may ride all of it or just one of the two N to S legs depending on how the day goes, is one better than the other? That line near Mascorini Place looks like a riot :yahoo: As JB presumes, so it goes, we do hope to see the shore...

    Renting 07 FJR

    https://www.blueskymotorcyclerentals.net/Lo...a/Monterey.aspx This agency is in Monterey CA, anyone here worked with them? This website does not show the FJR in the fleet, owner assured me the bike is available, tells me its a 07 he just recieved. I have reserved this FJR for a day in July...

    Pre-flight mantra / affirmation?

    In a fake scandanavian accent I yell inside my helmet 'YOU COULD FOR TO DIE!'.....I dunno, it makes me laugh while keeping me mindful of the risks....or something.

    G2 throttle cam installation

    can the original fjr cam be cut down to have the same shape as the g2 and give same results?? save a few $$$ I think it would work, a small file should do it just fine. I installed a G2 on my 06 tonite and thought the OEM tube looked like it would be easy to reshape. If it doesnt work you...

    "Abrupt off/on Throttle Reaction" Rider magazine

    I just got back from a brief test ride with the G2, very nice. This is how the bike should have been delivered. With the G2 cam bucking the Yamaha cam down below, seems to give fairly linear response, certainly easier to modulate off idle. Sam at G2 has my vote, the guy has put together a nice...

    I just got off the phone with Sam, he expects to have new tubes built for us in a few weeks, Im on the waiting list :clapping: I told him about this forum, he may post something in the vendor section. Thanks again Jwit6, great find.
