    Have I Neglected the FJR?

    A bucket of water and micro fiber cloth and you can keep you bike sparkling with little time or effort. The cloth works as a sponge and a chamois.

    buying high mileage FJR

    Having an 06 with 110k miles with minimal (no breakdowns) I can see someone being hesitant in buying a bike with high mileage if you don't know the owner or the maintenance history. You can buy a low mileage bike that has been trashed and end up with a lemon. Mileage is a flag to raise ones...

    Picked up my new 2012 yesterday

    Ride it for a while before you do much more. You will be amazed at how much stuff you don't need. congrats on the purchase. I demo'd one a month ago and loved it but if I replace my 06 no one will know I got a new bike. lol

    Coolant Flush Question

    Supposedly they are the same but I would use distilled unless purified was all I could get.

    Miles on FJR

    110k and runs like new. It has no value but I am sure I will get a few more years of trouble free riding. Bikes are not an investment with an eye towards a monetary return.

    Bike came back detailed with full tank of gas, he installed a new gasket. Took it out today 250 miles running great, no oil issues, runs cooler than it ever did. Life is good. 110k miles and counting.

    New 2010 price?

    I was there a couple months ago and they said they sold the bike but they continue to advertise it. They generally have about a grand in extra fees plus tax and tag.

    Used 2008 or new 2012?

    No brainer, the 2012, you get the warranty, heated grips and whatever unannounced updates they have made not to mention a nicer color.

    When does high miles matter?

    110k miles and still running better than new. No valve adjustments during that time.
