Welcome from Seattle-ish and congrats on the new (to you) '20! Great color choice too!! ~G

Welcome from Washington state! ~G

Providing the clutch feels good & is working well, I wouldn't worry about anything else Rich. If you're concerned, bleed it again in a couple weeks. Which bike you riding to Baker City? Good luck! ~G

Those pegs will scrape in tight turns. Beware. I had a set, removed them after one of the PNW crew suffered a broken case from a zero speed parking lot mishap. Ruined a trip and the bike earned a UHaul ride home. Not something I want to risk many miles from home. ~G

I'll have to store yours away! ~G

With Steve^^^^ my thoughts too. If something is truly kaput, I think this will be first report of a LED headlight problem. ~G

That was me...guess I need to keep up with ferry schedules! Carry on... ~G

Nice time of year, should be a great trip! WA ferries are as messed up as sapest indicates BC ferries are. Was going to suggest Anacortes ferry to get to the Island but honestly it's six-of-one depending on the day. If you get into a bind, the PNW gang has tire changing / balancing equipment...

You don't 'need' much more than 4-5k rpm to get around, but you're most definitely not hurting the engine. In 'ole dirt bike terms, you're just getting it on the pipe! Run it up there and see what she does...for a fat sport tourer the FJR does pretty well. Enjoy! ~G

Welcome from metro Seattle! From pic, looks like your '06 is an AE model? SH 46 is a common AE error. Check out the search feature (or Google) and you'll find many threads discussing this. ~G

As I mentioned in your intro thread, great color! Your '03 would have been a '04 in the states...integrated turn signals give it away. Looks like a very nice example of a GEN I FJR. ~G

Welcome from Washington state and congrats on the new (to you) FJR! Love the color, wasn't available for us in the states. Enjoy! ~G

Congrats on the new (lighter-weight) scoot Dave! Agreed it's the FJR that brought us together, but the years-long relationships that keep us going. Enjoy the new bike! ~G

An '08 with 60k still has many (s)miles left in it. As you eluded to, maintenance is everything so if the the machine has been taken care of I wouldn't worry. If you can stretch the budget a bit, there's a nice looking '12 in the classifieds. Great buy for someone. Happy hunting! ~G

Utah does indeed have some nice roads...welcome from metro Seattle! ~G

Great buy for someone! GLWS ~G

MCCruise is your (expensive) best option. If you've got the itch to mix up the stable, go for a '13 or newer! ~ G

Agreed the '15 is priced too high. Only you can determine what it's actually "worth". ~G

Pick the bike that speaks to you. With such low miles on both, does one look better maintained than the other? '16 does offer a few improvements, slipper clutch, LED headlights and 6-spd but otherwise they're the similar machines. From your description the '16 sounds like a better buy. For...
