    Handle bar / handling questions for the veterans.

    Even though the front tire has good tread, how many miles does it have on it? Once PR4s get past 1/3 - 1/2 life the handling changes and most of the time, not for the better. How is the suspension set up? If you're 180 lbs plus and have a stock rear shock, try moving to "hard" setting. The extra...

    Yamaha Comfort Seat

    AIS- Oily mess

    Although it's expensive, I'd go with Yamaha Ring Free. A forum member (Dave / Wynpro?) used to make the plates. IIRC he stopped making his accessories a few years ago. Maybe search eBay? ~G

    AIS- Oily mess

    Like many others, I removed the PAIR system on my last three FJRs. Cleaned up valve cover clutter for easier maintenance access. With the latest FJRs, the solenoid is left plugged in so there's no codes and the check-engine lite doesn't illuminate. For oil consumption woes, I'm with Skooter...

    Hand Guards for 2022

    Late model VStrom handguards are the ticket. Buy the kit and everything is included. Only modification needed is slightly enlarge bar end of guard to slip over OE weight mount point. Easy install and work well. Good luck! ~G
