I am curious why there is such a vast difference in the miles riders are getting on the same brand tires. I have been using Michelin Pilot Road and now Road tires for many years. The best mileage I have gotten has been on PR4's 13,000 miles and still some tread life left. On Road 5's 10,000...

Brodie, You will do just fine with that car tire on the reproof your FJR. Let us know how the trip went. I would consider it if the gravel sections were not full of ruts.

Any scratches or visible damage to the bike?

Same here. I have 68,000 miles on my 14ES and the clutch is as good as new. I have had two 07's in the past and never had a minute's problem with clutches. I am very easy on brakes as I down shift at all times. Having driven standard shift cars for over 40 years proper down shifting is never a...

Is the filter sold??

I have been using Michelin Road tires ever since replacing the factory OEM. I have a set of Road 6's on standby. Glad you are happy with your Road 6's.

Your purchase of a new FJR is a wise one. If I were you I would insist the dealer take the bike back and refund you the invoice price.

Ditch the ugly *** top box. Put the “sport” back in the FJR!!! 🤠

If you are going to be spending time in Polson you should take a ride around Flat Head Lake. It is quite scenic. Not sure how much time you are able to spend on your trip but since you are not that far from Glacier National Park it is well worth your while to make that journey. You will never...

Thanks for the comments. I now have 67,000 miles on the current bike and the transmission seems to be as good as new. I have always made upshifts correctly by backing off the throttle and lightly snicking it into the next higher gear. Never done clutch-less down shifts. I am interested in...

I notice you are from Ontario, CN. If you want to see colorful rocks and canyons you need to visit Utah and Arizona. Much of Colorado is very similar to the Canadian Rockies. Start in Moab, UT and work your way west. You will need to do some zig zag routing to get the full effect of the...

Thanks to all for your comments. I will cease clutch-less shifting. Last thing I want is damage that would require taking the engine apart.

Welcome from up the road in San Ramon. Take the bike up to Mt Hamilton and the Junction. That will give you an idea how well the bike handles hairpins.

I have no advice to offer on the subject but I am very interested in Diablo 1's comment about clutchles shifting. I have been clutchless shifting for years on three different FJR's and never experienced an issue with the transmissions. I only upshift clutches. Precisely what is the damage issue...

My first 2007 FJR had a similar issue. It happened in upper elevations. It was referred to as altitude sickness. On the road reedy was wack the throttle a couple times and it would clear up. My second 2007 had a Commander III installed and I never had an issue with stumble at any elevation.

Is that FJR a right side drive bike??

I'm in San Ramon and we have a group of riders who meet up regularily to have coffee and a ride. Many of them are still working so they meet on Sundays. If you are in the east bay area and want to meet some of the local riders let me know and I will pass your name on to Ed Margolin.

Docs, Why did you put after market exhaust cans on your bike?
