We received this tidbit in the inbox this morning from the Iron Butt Association... "This is to Certify that on the 25th of July 2016, Jack Ryan Larish, IBA# 65410, rode a 2015 Yamaha FJ-09 a total of 1,031 grueling miles in less than twenty-four hours starting in Ankeny, Iowa; continuing on to...

Looks like the FJR is not quite ready to take on 4 wheels just yet...I knew it was an FJR by the sound before I even looked at the gauges... https://www.liveleak.com/view?i=609_1476656161

https://www.foxnews.com/auto/2016/10/11/bmws-vision-next-100-motorcycle-wont-fall-down.html This is a truly new concept from the krauts...

The Wing motor is a pretty solid well sorted item...I know the engines on the Broken Motor Works K1600 platform have been less than stellar...at least the early units...hopefully they have things sorted by now. I do agree, this is bike in search of a market...and BMW may have just found a niche...

Glad everything is up to snuff Joel. Joel is being quite humble....he is a pretty damn accomplished wrench turner...I think I may have found my new Radman minus the crust!!! If I can help out with anything in the future, give me a ring...you may get a ring back when I need expertise!

Slipper clutch engages differently? I am tempted to put one in my 2013.5, but I want to try one out first on the 16...maybe I will get a chance tomorrow...

Well, you only get one picture...so here goes...saddlebags full of Honeycrisp apples and apple cider...we had to stop by Lake Pepin on the way home. The weather was as good as it gets here in the midwest this time of year...we enjoyed a little 4 hour tour. The boy is off to college next year so...

Weather is nothing short of spectacular here in the midwest...looks like tomorrow is apple day!!! Jack and I will be heading down to Maiden Rock Orchard to fill up a saddlebag or two...we'll give you a wave if we see you along the Great River Road in Wisconsin...

I am assuming it points a tad left or right when you are describing "askew." Did you remove the upper and lower triple clamps? If so, loosen the top clamp bolts and have someone hold the front wheel and you give the bars a little push to the side you want to correct to and retighten. If that's...

Wow....I am glad I keep it 10 under the limit pretty much everywhere I ride...when I am feeling a little adventurous I sometimes bump it up to 5 under.

Minimum order size: 100....

And it's gone...

OK, so you own a Gen II and are either waiting for the spider to bite you or that little demon has already sunk his teeth into your bike. I have a complete set of terminals to help vaccinate your bike or help you repair a failure by creating a legendary Brodie harness. All you need to do is...

I have a set of used but serviceable tires for the FJR platform waiting in the garage for just such as emergency...and I agree, the help offered by members of this forum is quire humbling. If you ask for help you will almost always get multiple offers of assistance. And yes NTXFJR, I am waiting...

Jack and I pulled off for gas at Buffalo City. We ran the little FJ-09 down as far as we dared...we put 4.45 gallons into a 4.6 gallon tank...not quite fumes but we were close. From Buffalo City to home I let young Jack explore the capabilities of the FJR...he seems to think that those of us on...

Wisconsin is full of wonderful little towns...some of them nearing the end of their lifespan... But the Wisconsonites are an industrious bunch and when life gives you lemons...paint them with The Motor Company logo... And it's good to have an observant rider with mechanical skills along...

Here is a fairly easy solution to your dilemma...

Freedom Value Center gas station in Prescott at 7:30ish am...it's right at the end of the bridge...hard to miss...everyone can then be topped up before we leave.

Those wanting to ride can meet up at the Freedom Value Center gas station in Prescott at 7:30ish. We can adjust our route based on the SwollenRaccoon's road report. I will build a couple of different routes into my GPS. Looks like the reported damage is mostly on the southern portion of the route.
