One must know his limitations! I would be dead inside a week Bernie

This FJR has taken all the fun out of riding other bikes. I have been commuting to work on the FJR and can't wait to head home on the bike, sometimes adding a few extra miles to the commute(along the coast etc). This week I rolled out my other bike, a honda VTX1800, and it is just too boring to...

There is an 09 at Champion in Costa Mesa, So. California. Looks just like the 08 except for a "plastic chrome" 1300 badge on the fairing. I noticed it has Meztlers instead of the bridgestones which came on my 08(the front bridgestone wore out in 3kmiles!!) The 09 had a list price on it of...

Conrocks If I need any work done on my FJR, who would you suggest I use in Orange county? BG 08

thanks for feedback. Put the pr2 on the front Friday and ran it for 200 miles this weekend.Runs great. Have not pushed it too much yet. Stayed along the coast Very hot(90's) smoke filled air from the so. cal fires. BG

Anyone running a different front tire than rear? I have a bridgestone 021 front that is trashed like everyone elses(ridge down center) but the rear has lots of life. Was thinking of putting the mich pr2 on the front and leaving the bridgestone 021 on the rear until it needs to be replaced...

Same here. Just got back from Death Valley, surrounding mountains. Great ride but front tire is toast at 6000miles. Center ridge just like the photos. Ordered a set of pr2's.

Excellent job Just got my Rider Mag and read your article, great read. Plan on doing the same trip at the end of the month BG Irvine, Ca

No Champ in Costa Mesa.

Hi fjr gang Just a report on dealer BS. When I picked up my new fjr last month I asked the dealer to put on the taller windscreen and to check the lock screws on the bags. (thanks to the forum for the info). I should have waited on the windscreen since the Yamaha taller screen vibrated too...

Picked up my new FJR 8/09/08. Rode around southern Cal for a couple of days to put the first 600mi on it so I could do the first oil change etc. I was riding a honda vtx 1800 so the bike was quite a change. I read the article on proper posture on the FJR, bend at waist, loose arms, light grip on...

just bought an 08. like the lower peg brackets. where do you get them. your bike looks great bg

Bought an 08 FJR at Champion in Costa Mesa yesterday. I have been riding a Honda VTX 1800 the last 4 years and it was lots of fun but I put 300 miles on the FJR today and don't know if I'll ever get back on the VTX!! What a rush (even while staying under 4500 rpm). I will have to look through...

What is the ballpark price for the FJR1300A in southern Cal? 14k otd?
