Got to agree with Flyguy on this. My ST1100 would shake like crazy slowing down through 45 mph if I took my hands off the bars when the front tire was toast. The Bridgstone OEM tires were better then others I tried though. I haven't experienced any headshake on the FJR although I got into a...

Well I read J's post all the way through. Interesting stuff.

When I bought my 02 V-Strom last year in SC from a private party, I rode it back to Texas with the previous owner's plates. Got stopped north of Abilene for going a little too fast and the officer checked the transfered title for proper signatures as well as the plate. Let me off with a...

Just the opposite experience here. I've had the Stop N Go plugs spit out a couple of times after 200 miles while no problems in thousands of miles on string plugs. YMMV

and not even a smiley

Coming home from our local Thursday night dinner ride the bugs were bad. I kept thinking of the Harley rider wearing only wrap around glasses for protection. That must of been a miserable 50 miles for him even if he kept it at 50 mph.

Enjoy your new bike. Like FJReady I've had mine about 3 1/2 years. Thought about trading it in on one of the black ones but can't really justify the upgrade as my 05 is such a sweet bike. :)

When I read the thread title I thought it said "Policeman drowned by Clowns". Boy was I disappointed. ;)

Unless that's a fake can on the left side it is a 1000. 650 has a 2-1 exhaust.

Then there are track logs that some GPSR use including my 2610. Every few seconds it records your speed and location.

Well if I was buying a Beemer it would be the F800GS. I already have a sportsbike. ;)

There should be a troll going through that gate. Looks like a picture straight out of a video game. Nice bike.

Welcome aboard dstray. 3.5 years of ownership here. Never a problem (well except for the right fairing panel that just cracked at a screw hole, but the replacement cost is only $114 so no biggie) :)

How about a rheostat? Hell wire it into all the ***** lights just like a car. :)

Crashing sucks. Did about the same thing on a R100RT several years ago. Tore a pair of jeans at the knee but the old BMW was undamaged. Something to be said for horizontal twins. Take care.

You bought the bike a few months ago and the weather was crappy so you couldn't ride it and by the time you could ride it the temp tag expired??? :)

A year after I bought my cbr929 there was a clutch recall and I brought it in. Ended up with a torn down engine because the mechanic managed to remove a bolt by brute force from the engine case while pulling out the clutch basket. They were very up front about it though and although I didn't...

Works fine in Safari. :yahoo:

ZEO = Zealous Enforcement Officer ? :) I passed a county sheriff Wednesday doing about 15 over on the FJR out in the country. Gave him a big wave and kept on trucking. He didn't turn around. Thanks Officer.

I found that if tires pressures are low (especially the front tire) the FJR handles like a truck. Keeping it at 40/42 cold makes the handling feel light and nimble.
