    Retail value

    I hate to do your homework for you but I was curious.  I found NADA value at $7015.00 and KBB value at $7655.00.  Like others have stated, check your policy for accessory coverage.  I hit a deer 5 years ago with my first Tenere and was happy to know that Progressive includes $3000.00 accessory...

    SOLD

    Dang, not happy to hear Gary quit doing red but I can't say I blame him. Gary repainted my red luggage rack and back rest frame. He charged me a little extra for the three coat red but it looks spectacular. I bought a use 2014 red Smuggler from another fellow on Facebook and although the...

    Sturgis 2019 info please

    Sturgis is safe as far as I've seen and although it isn't populated by my normal company I enjoyed it. My son and I stopped there for a night staying at the Buffalo Chip campground on our way to New Mexico. He was riding a Ninja 1000 and I was on my Tenere and no one gave us a single sideways...

    A third FJR forum.com celebrity makes an appearance in Abercrombie today.

    Haha, your sharp mind caught a bit of sarcasm. I found out yesterday, sarcasm doesn't work with dimwitted people.

    A third FJR forum.com celebrity makes an appearance in Abercrombie today.

    Well there isn't many reasons to ride a FJR to North Dakota but Uncle Hud found one. I met up with him in Minnesota for a destination photo shoot of Atlanta MN, then he said he'd like to see Roger Maris's grave so we swung through Fargo before making a lunch stop in Abercrombie. Thanks for...

    A detailed pictorial clutch soak "how to"

    I've been experiencing some very notchy up shifting particularly from first to second gear. Under hard acceleration shifting at higher rpms, its almost been scary sounding going into second. I followed your clutch soak and found the plates were dry as expected but didn't find the friction...

    Airboss having health issues

    Karl was one of my first FJR great friends to greet me as I arrived at my first FJR get together a LaCrosse 9 years ago. He's a good guy and hope he gets back in the saddle some day soon.

    I've Been Unfaithful - To My FJR

    Same goes for me. 4 years ago at 52 years old I picked up an XR650L to get comfortable on dirt and gravel with my Tenere. I soon fell in love with my dual sport and switched it out for a lighter and more powerful Beta 500. Now my biggest regret in life is not buying a dual sport 30 years ago...

    Bought another Yamaha

    I have that same Yamaha set in red under the steps in my basement. I bought it for my boys to use while participating in percussion in the school band and have always enjoyed banging on them myself. My oldest got pretty good on them and was in a garage band for a couple years. I should dig...

    Rub Marks on ES Fork

    The forks can absolutely get misaligned when changing a front tire. There is two ways to hold the axle while tightening the front 22 mm axle nut. One is to install a 19 mm hex head in the right side of the axle to keep if from spinning while tightening the axle nut. The other is the way will...

    Rub Marks on ES Fork

    I had some similar looking wear marks on my Beta after I noticed that I had tweaked my forks out of alignment. I would check to insure that your forks are properly aligned. I'm guessing the the forks were replaced slightly off, and aren't in perfect alignment causing stiction and wear marks...

    Looks like we have another FJR in the family

    Well, we have a new FJR owner in my family. My oldest son Jordan, who some of you may have met or rode with at the Red Lodge Rendezvous in 2016, decided he wanted to add a more comfortable bike to his garage. He currently rides a Ninja 1000 which he's ridden to all the lower 48 states. Since...

    The Hog Phenomenon

    Don't listen to these guys Jammess. Bustanut is more than just a little goofy. He's F###ing nuts. You've been warned to keep your distance. I met him once and he's just not right in the head. Look for yourself!
