Feels undersprung on both ends. Fork was just rebuilt, the shock has most likely never been touched. I'm going to buy a shock for it and put stiffer springs up front.
I guess you guys missed the part where I said I love the bike. It just has a few things I need to sort out.
The bike is mint I bought it with only 13K miles. Just did a big ride on it 3200 miles with 3 days of 14+ hours of riding and between 700 and 850 miles in a day.
Its fast, comfortable...
The suspension is horrible, wallows way to soft. Fork has just be rebuilt but it's needs stiffer springs and shock needs work. What do you guys recommend, not into 2 up riding, just sport touring. Hate the heated grips, too big and hard, gonna buy new bars and sell this set up. Brakes suck...
3200 miles, 8 states, 1 Motocross national, 3 big ride days 14+ hours 750 to 850 miles, 2 nights in Hood River,6 Days away from home. Almost all twisty 2 lane. What a great bike.
My wife and I on a ride yesterday, Leadville and back. She loves the FJR. Went to dinner last night, my wife rode the FJR my son was on my T7 I had to ride the grom. Time for another bike.
Dirt bike, Dirt bike , Dirt bike.
Get her a ttr 125 and let her figure it out in the dirt. You can teach them so much on a little ttr. Threshhold breaking with the front brake is a really skill to have on the street bikes, even with ABS, that's just one skill you can teach them on a mini bike...
TTR 125 Love that bike
2022 YZ450FX Love it, perfect 450 for an old guy like myself
2020 Yz250F Best motocross bike I have ever owned, my go to if I'm gonna race
2005 FJR1300 Love it!
2020 T7 can't get enough of that bike, put 12K miles on it last summer, love it!
I have one more YZ450 in...
Thanks for the heads up on the ABS pump. The bike had new fluid in the front reservoir but after getting it into the ABS a few times I could see it discolored, I'll do a few more cycles to get it all out. Great tip RossKean, thank you!
Just picked this up yesterday.
