Funny this should come up. On Wednesday I saw an FJR rider in CT on 95N at exit 31 wearing just a helmet for gear. T-shirt and shorts were all that stood between him and some major rash. I debated about posting an FJR sighting query, along with a "wear some gear, dood!" comment, but have grown...

I would not make an FJR my first bike. Sharing this thought for your own protection. Having said that, best of luck to you. Ride safe and spend HOURS reading this forum.

A. Search the site B. Invest in 2nd power cords for your farkles and hardwire them to a fuseblock. Lots of posts on how to go about that.

I just installed the Snakeskin (removable) and rode it at a trackday. No adhesion issues at all.

Lee Parks showed me a trick to fix that. Grab the end of the finger and twist it, a lot. Do this a few times and it will lenghten the finger without having to wet the glove.

Although I wasn't hit by any rubber shrapnel, I was passing one with just the two of us on the road when he blew a rear inside tire. Even with 33 db earplugs the sound was enough to make me take a big bite out of the saddle. Full speed ahead and a wide berth from then on.

New tires resolved this. The front had worn to a point where there was a high point at every sipe. Took 'er out today and she's like warm buddah all the way up to 120. I am ready for my 1st trackday on 7/20 at Thompson.

Although the AE has a foot shift lever, I shift mine with only my left index finger using the paddle shifter on the bar.

I have one available. New w/o tags. Never been outside of the garage. PM if interested.

Regarding the steering head bearing theory, I've made a close visual inspection and discovered some minor seepage of grease at both the top and the bottom. I already have a new set of bearings on the shelf I bought to have on hand. Should I change them out based on this grease evidence?

I have a huge RIfle screen. The vibration seems to be back and forth, but I'm not sure how to discern it from an up and down motion. I have a top box, but it does it with or without the box on.

My '08 AE has a bad vibration in the front that starts at about 85 and peaks at 90 then never goes away until I bring it back down below 85 again. (This is per the Zumo 550 not the speedo.) It's done it through 2 sets of PR2s, but didn't do it on the 1st set. Is there anything besides an out of...

Found it for ya. https://www.fjrforum.com/forum//index.php/topic/122440-fork-alignment/page-2

Search for a definitive post on this subject by Fred W. He found that one of his forks was just slightly bent. He posted an easy, but painstaking fix to get everything lined up again.

I use the clamp-on to make winter riding more comfortable. You can tune it a million ways and it can create a cone of silence when adjusted properly. I'm 6'2 and even with my tall Rifle I'm not happy in the winter without it.

Surplus to my needs in near as new condition. $270 + shipping from 02903

Just checked. Its a 2XL.

Find a used one for $200. I have one and would pay $300 if I hadn't found one here for $200. OTOH, the German one has rave reviews and is a little cheaper I think.
