    Maximum Speed per Gear

    I searched but didn’t find an answer. I love the sound of this engine at higher RPMs. I hit 55mph in second gear and it felt like the sweet spot to shift. Is that too may rpms? I wasn’t paying attention to anything but the speed and couldn’t believe it…. What a Ride this bike is…….. BTW...

    I have a tick tick

    Bike is completely stock except for a power commander and after market slip-ons The tick I hear happens hot or cold, load or not.    I took a ride and have it nailed down to 2600 to 3000 rpms. And, I’ve read many posts about the tick. It seems the engine probably won’t suffer any ill effects...

    Front axel bolt issue

    What size hex bit are you using to remove the axle? FSM says 18mm but I measured it and it looks closer to 20mm

    Front end dive at stops

    Yes, the bike is completely stock. I will try more adjustments but I’ve noticed that they were already as tight as they can be.    The bike came with an owner’s manual  and FSM so I’m planning to remove the forks and service them.    I do plan on upgrading the innards as well. If I can keep...

    Front end dive at stops

    Hello, My FJR seems to ride  and handle quite nicely. However, when I come to a stop, the front end dives. What can I do to lessen that?

    2005 Oil viscosity

    Not trying to start an oil war but, the manual says to use 20w 40.    PO was using full syn 15w 50. Is that a problem?    I kinda think I know the answer (it’s not a problem) but I don’t know these bikes so take it easy on me please.😀
