How dare anyone say that they like another bike more than the holy FJR?????? Some of you guys remind me of Harley riders.

Acceleration 0-60 mph: 8.1 seconds (3.9 seconds as modified) 1/4-mile ET: 16.4 seconds @ 88 mph Top speed: 118 mph (132 mph as modified) Now, I need to know what mods were done.

In 1964, a bobcat tuned 421 2+2 catalina recorded one of the fastest 0-60 times by a PRODUCTION based car. 0-60 came in 3.9 seconds. Kansas, I don't know where your info came from, but i'm calling ******** !!!

"WERA Heavyweight Twins Expert regional championship" WOW!!!! Thats really impressive, compaired to a guy that has more than one WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP.

Fix It Again Tony.

My 2 cents worth (and it's worth just that). Yamaha engineers knew in the beginning there could be problems with the genII (and r1/fz1) bikes, but the ******* accountants overruled. Today the bean counters are running the asylum. it can be seen everywhere. There is a fix available, and has...

Great idea. Than put them all on a shaker, in a hot/cold room and see which one lives.

Hey York, gotta agree with ya. The latest and greatest isn't necessarily the best. How's that 1098?

It's alot easier if you just wear roller skates.

The day you buy (or the next day), go over every bolt on the bike. Take stock of your tools, and get the tools needed to do the job. I've built 100's if not 1000's of bikes, and yes **** happens (litterly you need to ****), :rolleyes: and forget to thighten whatever. And yes the guys...

Years ago, myself and 3 buddy's stole my Z-1. Pulled up in a van, hopped out, threw the bike in the back. We were gone in under 20 seconds. Probably could have been quicker in a pick-up. If your really worried, use a large cable to something unmovable. that should slow them down for about...

As much as i would love to remove all that crap, i think I'll wait until the warranty is over (2011, if i still have this thing). I would hate to be in BFE and need service (warranty), and be denied because of its removal.

How much less does your bike weigh with the helium in the tires?

it's a self-adjusting clutch with a badly designed ratio. BINGO!!!!!!

Nope. The piston is pushed ALL THE WAY INTO THE BORE by the rod. If the piston were pushed into the bore all the way. what would happen as the clutch wares?

Now it's the bikers fault???

A shim won't work. Its a hydraulic clutch (self adjusting). If the shim were to thick it would apply constant pressure on the pressure plate, and could cause slipping.

I don't know about that. Notice the way the bag broke off, didn't even have to open it to collect the broken parts.

shuttle1998, try a beaded seat cover 'much more airflow'.

The transmission on the FJR is stacked, the input shaft is above the output shaft. The clutch is, of course mounted to the input shaft, which is not bathed in oil. Some oil may get to the clutch from 'flinging', and possibly from the oil passage in the input shaft. It's a simple job to...
