Traded my fjr in on a new 2013 deep blue Stratoliner S. Fjr is an amazing bike but between my wife hating the back seat (not just padding but room was a huge issue. Also I could not drive the speed limit, not at all, was hauling *** everywhere and enjoying it, was a matter of time before I got...

Tire sold to Slardy, Thank you!

Nice!

Sold my fjr so this tire is just sitting around. For sale Bridgestone bt-023 gt 120/70zr17 (58w) front tire. NEW. Lists on chaparral motorsports this am for 136.88 (where I bought it) Will sell for 95 bucks with shipping included. Will ship from Montana. Thank You,

Hard time starting my fjr this afternoon, hit the starter and turned over but no go( it usually fires right up). Hit it again, trying but nothing, after about 10 tries it finally sputters to life and then warms up fine and ran like a ***** ape for a nice ride. Thought I was trying to start my...

She does not want to ride or us to spend the money on a second bike. I really do love my fjr that is why I bought it. Will just have to learn to take it a little easier on the throttle and get the Russell seats this winter and all will be well!

I like that it works really well, does not look too bad. She was sliding all over the place before. The tape is actually no slip tape for stairs.

You are right redfish, riding season ends here Saturday and its supposed to get in the teens at night after that. All winter to get the Russells ordered. Actually I am not sure the fjr will be around next spring, I can't seem to keep off the throttle and between that and the wife not really...

Ok, for now I reworked the corbin pillon seat. I drilled out the rivets and put a gel pad and more foam in and re-riveted it together. I also adden no slip tape so the wife is not sliding all over the place. She likes the seat a lot better now.

A pretty good article about the fjr, as usual a little bit said about "only" a 5 speed. Personally I have had no problem with 5 gears, works well in my opinion. I don't feel its too "buzzy" and there is more than enough top end (150 is plenty fast, speed limit is 75).

Congratulations! A super t is definitely on the list of bikes that would make it home someday.

Ok i'm going to take apart my corbin pillon seat first and add foam-gell, basically mess with it and see if it works out. There is a fair chance it wont but its worth a try.

I do appreciate the replies! This winter I will have to make up my mind as i'm now in now hurry it has been snowing already. Squeeze in a ride here and there when the weather is permitting. I want to keep my givi trunk in place as I like it but the wife wants a backrest as she doesn't feel the...

I'm choking on some of these prices. My wife hated her rocket 3 pillon seat so I found a used one on ebay tore it down bought new vinyl and foam at a sewing type shop and for 30 bucks she still says it was the most comfortable seat she has ever had. Only problem was it looked like crap, i'm...

Thanks for the replies. Ignacio, yes I have went back and read posts about seats. Pretty much as I figured this winter will need to send my corbins in and get a Russell day as that is much less expensive than getting a different bike especially when I like my fjr a lot. Have seen laams before...

Love my fjr, hate the corbin seats it came with. The passenger seat has a lip in back that does not give my wife enough room. They are way too hard for my liking. Was thinking about trying a sargent back seat for the wife because it is flat. Probably a front sargent also. Then if they don't work...

Most: quiet, good horsepower and torque, adjustable windshield, easy to turn, easy to stop, quick, very easy to change the oil and check your oil, centerstand (lot of winter time to sit on it, also makes it easy to clean your rim, check your tire, etc.), Seats come off easy(not that I take them...

Good deal! I too am interested in following you in this adventure. I probably will learn a lot also.

Very nice! Did not notice before that it says 1300 on the side.

I love that Yamaha is updating the fjr only a year out of the 2013. I watched bmw update the ss1000rr continually even though it was a great bike and it just make it that much better. Don't bring out a bike and then just let it sit for years, if something can be tweaked to make it better without...
