I've only every had Michelin Pilots. I hope the Bridgestones handle as well. I ran dual compound Pilot Road II's on my FZ1 and I loved them for grip and wear. I wonder if I should just yank the Bridgestones off before spring and put Pilots on. I'm sure I could get some half decent coin for...

Yep, I just check Bridgestones site and the pictures I have of my bike and the BT21's look the same. I'm kinda glad. It looks like the Metzeler was not a good tire.

I'm a pretty tecky kinda guy and I love the iPhone for many reasons. I thought I'd use it alot when biking, but it has not worked out that way. But here's a few uses I've gotten from my iPhone: 1. If you buy Navigon app, it is a fully functional GPS app that looks very similar to a Zumo/Nuvi...

I did some searching and found that the Metzeler Z6 was used on the FJR's as stock OEM tires. But the bike I just bought (but have not picked up yet) has a different tread pattern. So is there another tire that came on the 09 FJR's? Thanks.

I appreciate all the advice I've gotten here. But I also said from the beginning that I was getting ready to buy new. Not used. So how am I not open to suggestions? I never asked for advice on new vs used. I made that decision up months ago. What I'm uncertain about is price for a new 2009...

It's too bad the Gen I dash looks so dated.

Wait till you start using it with the intercom and the GPS at the same time. VERY BUGGY! There was a couple of updates in the spring that sort of cleaned up some problems, but they have not had an update since July (ver 2.3). I used it for a week with a buddy that had one also. My music...

I thought I read somewhere here that the LCD info on the Gen II was able to do Fahrenheit or Celsius on the outside temperature. Is this true and if so how do you switch between the two? Does that apply to the MPG or L/100 km mileage as well as the odometer in miles or kilometers? I'm in the...

One thing is for certain. FJR owners are very passionate about their bikes. The FZ1 guys are a little more conservative. LOL New is the only direction I'll take. Decision's been made and its not changing. Niehart's bike looks nice. But I'm sticking to new. I talked to the dealer today...

I'm pretty set on getting new. I currently have a FZ1 (Gen I) and I'm quite certain it was not broken in properly. It burns oil and I'm tired of dealing with it. I changed the valve seals over last winter and the cross hatch pattern looked pretty good in the cylinders, but it stills goes...

I've been waiting for this for a while. I'm getting ready to buy an new FJR. I've talking to a few dealerships in the Pacific NW and I have a couple options. First I can get a 2009 for about $12k. I also have the option of a 2010/11 for about the $13,500 mark. I'm not sure which to choose...

I got a 660 from GPS city in June (don't worry about the "sale" price. It's always been that price). I started with ver 3.5. I also got a Scala Rider G4 to work with it. The 660's firmware was a bit ify at first, but I'm currently using 3.9 and the unit is very stable. I have had absolutely...

I like all the bling. I wish more members would post pics of their bikes.

I've had my Scala G4 for about 4 months. Me and a friend got them for a trip we did in June. Version at the time was 2.2. Its nice to have firmware upgrades, but as a designer I know companies tend to release products earlier then they should when they are firmware upgradeable. That is the...

Why would the ABS light come on when accelerating out of a corner? That sounds more like a traction control light which I know these bikes don't have.

I bought a Zumo 660 and love it. It seems to have a lot of little things that make it nice for motorcycles. But its a little bulky for using in the car so I thought I'd get another for the car and got a 265W. Going through the 265W's menu and functions I quickly realized how much more the...

I recently went down at highway speeds with bags attached and I was so glad I had them on. Fixing the bags will be much cheaper I think then if I didn't have them on. As it sits now I only have to replace bar end, mirror, highway peg, and brake lever. Plastic is usually not that expensive the...

Is the hitch bar connected to the sprung or unsprung part of the bike? It kinda looks like both.

Holy crap. Who would have thought this would stir up so much. I wanna buy a 2008, but if its "grey" then I'm not that interested. No offense, but I'm not a big fan of grey. If its "black" then thats fine. You guys and your fancy dancy little names. Geez. Is it grey or black? LOL I'm...

Anyone have a link that shows the colors the FJR came in for those years. American models of course. The stuff I've found on the internet is so inconsistent I don't know what to believe. Salesman tells me each year had only one color available, but internet seems to show about 3 colors for...
