I teach on base and we dont have training bikes, So we ride what you have. We as a militarty base have a different set of rules as far as that goes. ERC and BRC are on your own bikes.

if I ever get the chance to repaint mine, You can bet it wont be black, Or any other factory FJR color for that matter. Why look like everyone else? These bikes are very limited in colors. Personally I love silver, but I would not paint my bike silver just becasue yamaha already used silver.

I made the same transition, The bandit 1250 has serious issues with erratic power. I would come in really strong even with little input, Sometimes it went the other way. I neve got comfoprtable on the 1250 ( 9 months and 10K miles) as for the other bikes you mentioned. My brother in law has the...

Computer Snafu, Sorry for the double post

I do all the demos on my FJR. It build confidence for the younger riders seeing that big FJR do it.

My stocker looks like death, Would like to see if anyone had a tinted windscreen laying around for a 2005 before I purchase a new one. Stock height is fine. I live in the south ( alabama) so I dont need much cold air protection. [email protected]

The connie lower fairing could be modified very easily so you didnt have to remove it to change the oil. I rode mine way too much to go thru removing the fairing to change the oil. it was a hot machine in the summer. Bad head wobble in dirty air. Odd dated tire size make then tire chioces very...

I got mine from Acadamy sports, Paid like $30 for it. Small and works great. I did spray it with reain proof before use. Seems to work great in wet or dry.

I have a ;large set of Channel locks that I use for this. They are really huge but work great. I dont use a screwdriver anymore.

I use a good degreaser on the tires once they are mounted to clean some of the goo off. Then just ride conservatively fro the first 50 miles or so.

I wear full length leather military booots. Steel toes and all. Cheap and comfortable

I have been supportive of this the whole time. Gotta try new things to see what will work and what wont. Trial and error ya know.

I saw the wing, Saw alot of bikes. No concours, no FJR and no bandits though.

The black FJR at teh races I saw was near the spectator area opposite of the pitts. (other side of the track) The blue gen 2 was on I65 southbound, a little south of montgomery.

And I passed a Gen 2 FJR on I-65 southbound, I was heading norht from Mobile, And I saw a completely stock black gen 2 at barbers motor speedway. Wanted to say hey to those guys. But anyway I went to the track and watched the races, Had soem free tiem so I went thru the barbers motorsports...

I just stuck mine on the lower fork tube. they come off pretty easily if you use some heat so you wont damage anything.

I disagree about the ABS, I have it on my bike and for the most part I dont care for it. I am going to install a switch so I can turn it off. I bought my 2005 about a year ago with 4500 miles for $8k I would thinlk with the extra miles it should be near the $6k range

Kinda had a suspicion someone was going to go there.

Dies anyone else here feel their ABS comes on too soon? I know I have more braking potential there, But the ABS kicks in too early for my taste.
