Very nice!!! Take good care of it...there may not be a future FJR offered.

I've owned three FJR's, two 2007's and the current 2014. Never have I had an oil sensor light come on except when first starting up the bike after an oil change. As a side note, I never start off until the engine temp shows a numeric reading. Likewise I have never had an FJR that used oil in a...

Great write up on the efforts required to open this highway. I have taken the highway in both directions in late summer. It is one of my favorite rides..

Interesting to read the different opinions. I have owned three FJR's and ridden about 200,000 miles combined. None of the bikes ever had a steering head bearing issue. I had the head nut retorqued on the break-in service and once again at about 8000 miles. Never did another torque check after that.

I've done those as well. Another good one is Mines Road from Pleasanton to Junction and then from there to Mt. Hamilton and down to San Jose. You will not fall asleep on that route.

Welcome Peter! My name is Art Miller and we are neighbors. I. am in San Ramon next to the Bridges Golf Course. I ride a 2014 FJRES and would love to meet you and introduce you to a few of my riding pals. You can contact me by email at; artmiller2@yahoo. com or cell phone; 925-967-3738. Hope...

This is what I see from my Family /room and back patio. Devil Mountain 3850 ft elevation. Sa Ramon is a great place to live if you want to be in CA.

Amen!!

Tank trim looks good. Now get busy and clean up that rash on the bag(s) and faring. For what it is worth, I covered my tank trim with 3M carbon fibre tape. Did same on the cowling behind the front wheel.

Good choice! With aux. lights you will be just as conspicuous and not hated by other motorists.

Some good suggestions here. Just as info there are some states that consider modulating headlights illegal. If you do not plan to ride at night consider Denali DM lights. They have have very low current drawl and are not that expensive. I mounted them on the location where the side...

Did you use any magnetic tools around the ABS sensor when disassembling the rear wheel? Likewise, the cable being frayed is a possible problem. I’ve had three FJR’s with ABS and had many rear tires replaced. Never have I seen any wear or damage to that cable. It is well fastened to the...

Interesting chain of comments here. I know this will drawl negative comments but here it is. I have been running Michelin PR tires starting with PR 2 and currently Road 5. Of all the series I have never used wheel weights. I started back in 1999 on a Virago 1100 using ceramic beads in the front...

Fred, We share the same status on our 2014’s. I too just turned 60k on my bike and it is just as good as the day I took it home from the dealer. At 80 years old I do not foresee a need to worry about wearing the bike out before I hang up my jacket. 🤠

I had the Venture gears put in my 2014 final drive. It was done by a shop in, as I recall, Mannheim, PA. Cost was $300. It works great… adds about 4 mph to the 5th gear.

I am by no means an authority on batteries of any type but I can report I had a 2007 with original battery and sold the bike in January 2014. The original battery was still going strong. My current 2014 battery was replaced in May because the dealer said it was weak and since I was about to...

I was in Gibraltar yesterday and now in Malaga still no FJR citing. I still have a week left in Spain to gleam out some Forum name sake bikes. 🤠

I have been traveling in Spain and Portugal for the past 7 days and have not seen one FJ R so far. Other than scooters, the most common motorcycles seem to be BMW. There are some riders from Spain on this Forum so perhaps they can advise how getting service in their area works?

Ror dust cover in the garage I use a retired king size fitted bottom sheet for the front section of eh bike and a king size top sheet for the windscreen t the back. That gives complete coverage of he bike. On road trips I bought one of he cheap water resistant coves that was shipped from Hong...
