    Russian engine work

    Found this on you tube, I have been studying Russian but have a hard time following it. Seems he had a major problem with his fjr, I watched another video where he installs cylinder liners also.

    What did you do to your FJR today?

    RossKean, what did you hate about the Dunlop RS2? I went for a ride they felt good, I do live in Kansas though.

    What did you do to your FJR today?

    Put a new back tire on. Dunlop sportmax roadsmart 2, 95 bucks to the house. Used zip ties and baby powder (on the tire) and got r done. I am just getting to where the shops are charging way too much for tires and mounting, fjr is easy with the centerstand. Rocket 3 is a pia with having to jack...

    My new Triumph

    Had a 2005 rocket 3 but hit a deer and totaled it. Was really missing the uniqueness of the rocket. I found a very lightly used 2018 (123miles) and just could not resist.  Love my fjr but I love the torque of the rocket, the unique sound and looks. Still have the fjr as it is probably the best...

    Why I Love My Fjr

    When i was around 16 or 17 filled my 1978 Kawasaki kz650 with diesel and drove it home 2-3 miles. Realized something was wrong running hot and not right. Drained the tank put regular in and had no problems. Ever since i pay a lot more attention when filling up (no daydreaming).

    Bike keyed at work!

    Frustrating. Possibly cover it with a sticker or reflective sticker like some put on the back of their saddlebags? Touch up paint will help but certainly looked "touched up". I have thought about buying a beater bike to ride to work as I have a shiny bule fj like yours, older klr 650 maybe.

    What did you do to your FJR today?

    Rode to and from work. On the way home got to use my es suspension as a friend needed a ride home. Rode fine with me 225 and my friend around 190lbs. Did notice it felt like riding a board on the way home with the 2 up and luggage setting so i stopped and changed it back to one up and is was...

    what is the highest mph speeding ticket you have had on a motorcycle?

    Odd but I just remembered When i was around 17 i got a ticket on my 78 kz 650. I noticed flashing lights in my mirrors and pulled over, he did not get a speed on me but i got a ticket. states it took him awhile to catch up as he had noticed me speeding a while back.

    what is the highest mph speeding ticket you have had on a motorcycle?

    Wow, I would imagine the judge might even take your bike with that one. I do remember family trips though across Wyoming when the speed limit was 55. You could count the white lines they came so slow. Now its 80mph in Wyoming. How times change.

    what is the highest mph speeding ticket you have had on a motorcycle?

    Just got back from Kansas City and found myself riding a bit quicker that i should have been. Was in lower 40's and the fj really felt like it had some extra go in that temp. I got rid of my zx14 because i really was riding way too fast and now i am finding I am still riding fast maybe 10 or...
