Yes, I have the OEM frame sliders, but no highway pegs. Just do not get me wrong, I am more than happy with my FJR and this small buzz is nothing that would stop me riding or making me look for other bike. Its just a kind of inconvenience which I only remember after long and continuous ride...

I have a ridden in bike (45 000 km ), Helibars, vibronator and gripbuddies, did the correct engine bolts torque, but still have the vibes at 4000-4500 rpm. No problem on 3-4 h ride, but by the end of the full day my hands and toes become pretty sore. I have to say that gripbuddies have so far...

I also decided to re-torque the engine mount bolts as I too feel pretty remarkable buzz on footbegs, the same way as stated earlier, at around 4000 rpm. I also consulted the Yamaha Service Manual (pg 5-6, 5-7) and the tightening order was a bit different there. According to it you should start...

In fact the XJR1300 is not very new really, has been on sales in Europe for some time. When I bought my 08 FJR in 2009, it was already on sales and I did some test ride. Up to 50 mph it was ok, after that it is the same as all naked bikes - you feel like the wind will twist you off the bike any...

Thanks a lot for feedback to everyone

One of my driving buddies, Sverre, happens to be also a pretty good writer and he just recently wrote and published a European MC touring guide in Estonian. There are 30 European countries in it, starting with UK and Iberia in the West and ending up with Balkan countries in the South-East, also...

I guess you meant Norway, they took gold and bronze. Finland was 5th ...

The chargers usually have a separate small 2 wire harness with them which you can fasten to the battery + & - (placed in the middle on the battery) and take the plug out of the bike's plastics, then it is just to plug it to the charger ... While riding try to hide it so that the occasional rain...

Thanks for advice, Mihalis. Well, I am not only looking to drive in bushes, but also in the city and its also meant for my son to practice driving, eventually doing some longer trips together with me. I also do not like the 1 cylinder engines very much, am a bit afraid of the vibes in longer...

I know that quite few of you ride V-strom as a second bike. Well, I have have an opportunity to buy a 2008 V-strom from Susuzuki dealer with 0 milage for dirt & gravel roads. Anything I should be worried about and check due to many years in shop? The discount in initial offer is 25 % compared...

So I did try the loose-handlebar-mod over weekend and it worked fine! I have no problems on unpaved roads any more! That was a great advice, saved me from buying a dualsport . Thanks to all.

Ok, holding the bars loosly sounds like the best thing I can do for the moment and it does not really cost me anything extra I will have a good oppotunity to test it out this weekend. Many thanks to all.

Ok, I guess it is to do with my weak English, but I did not mean off-road riding, just roads which have no asphalt cover, so to say dust-roads. TKC 80 is for sure too rough to be ridden on any normal roads. But thanks anyway for your comments :)

Many thanks for replies.Today I only ride 2% on unpaved as it does not feel comfortable enough, so I avoid them. Would probably ride some 10 % if it would not feel so damn lose. Had a feeling that it is mainly a tire issue, but can also well be the whole geometry and suspension thingy. For sure...

Hi, guys. Anybody driving regularly on unpaved roads, on gravel? What tires do you use? I have PR2 on, but always when I leave the asphalt the bike becomes very unstable. So I wonder if there are any more universal tires suitable for it?

Works especially great in 2 up ride

Here's how I have installed the Zümo 660 on my AE. The bracket came with the kit, just needed to file off the shifter case a bit to get the U bolt around the handlebar.

Yes, I have the mount like on that pic. Many thanks for advice, I just have no clue where to get the flat adapter from
