    At first after buying the fjr I kept putting my feet up but there were no floorboards there , just air in the cruiser position. I've liked the cruisers I have had but not enough to keep them, except the rocket 3 I think I would still have that if I didn't total it.

    FJR Rated 8 of 10 in Comfort

    My fjr is comfortable but my wife dislikes very much the corbin seat it came with, I am not so sure it will be good for me over a long ride either. Have only done short jaunts so far. The Yamaha gel seat might be a solution, or just go Russell daylong?

    Yes I finally got a fair price for my C109, First told me they did not want it, then a really lowball offer and it gradually went up. My wife did the deal because she is really good at dealing with these kind of things. She was tired of dealing with them, they were not going to give what we...

    Never was unlimited it was "reasonable and prudent" which in general meant if conditions were ok then maybe up to 100mph over and you would still get in trouble. But I now would not mind settling in at 90 without getting a ticket.

    Spent 6-7 hours today learning the fjr found and checked the air filter-k & n was ok, changed the final gear oil, checked the coolant- good for 25 below that wont due have to change it out before winter, I like it to be good for 40 or just over 40 below just in case. Adjusted the shifter 1/3inch...

    The only thing I found I don't care for so far and I am sure it can be adjusted is the left foot peg to shifter distance. It is very hard to fit my size 12 boot for upshifts. I see it can be moved a little, is there aftermarket solutions to this?

    Its mine! Closed the deal today and drove it home from work. They were not going to do a deal, they didn't really want my c109 and then they didn't want to give me much for it and finally we told them fine well go somewhere else. They called back in 10 minutes and said its done. I need to go to...

    This bike already has an aftermarket corbin seats and givi trunk. they are asking 11,400 if they don't come down or offer more for my c109 I might look into a another fjr at the local Yamaha or Suzuki shop.

    Forgot to add that at the end of the ride I was still stitting on the fjr telling my wife how much I loved everything about the bike and there was this guy that really looked like a Harley guy come over and starts spouting off statistics about the fjr how fast it is and on and on. My wife...

    I just finished a test ride on a silver 2011 fjr1300 and I love it! I've had big cruisers my last 3 bikes and after this ride i'm wondering why. Had a Yamaha raider which is a good bike, then a Triumph Rocket 3 which I really liked but hit a deer and totaled it, then I bought a Suzuki c109rt and...

    fjr for me

    I joined in March and have been thinking about a fjr or concour 14 for a while, except in May i traded my Yamaha Raider in for a Triumph rocket 3 (one of 3 bikes i really wanted). Loved my raider but i guess not that much since i traded it. Anyway i had a rocket with corbin bags and fairing and...
