Short version added because most people probably aren't interested in my verbose narrative. :)

They'll probably move quick over at the FJ-09 forum. They've typically gone for a little over half your asking price, though. But, hey, get what you can! Glws.

Looks like it was a fantastic trip!

Pics in progress.

I adjusted my white screw on my old fj09. Panicked, I talked to a tech and was told to not worry about where the white screw was, just to make sure the gauges matched and ride. I only did about another 2k miles after that sync, but all seemed fine. I suspect you are just freaked out like I was...

Congrats! I checked one out at the local dealer the other day. That matte finish mixed with all the black IS dead sexy! :D

My guess is that around $5k or less it will move pretty quick, and at $6k or more it will sit indefinitely. Maybe start around $5500 and see what happens? I've sold most of my (recent) previous bikes by listing on Craigslist and cycle trader. The former results in a lot of spam, but is such a...

I imagine I could find my plugs if I looked around a bit. But I don't know where they are off the top of my head. In nearly two years of ownership I have never installed them. The bags come on and off regulrly and I just decided I didn't want to deal with the extra step.

Yamahasupertenere dot com. Not as extensive a history as here I don't think. Definitely far less going on than advrider, but model specific. Should be all the info you'll need on the Tenere, though.

Oh, btw, after re-reading your initial post I realized I overlooked two things: your quest for cross-continent suitability and shaft drive. I concur that shaft drive is awesome. Whenever I tinker with a chain I appreciate my FJR all the more. The shaft is one of the main reasons I wanted the...

I've had all three, although the V and Wee were the original body style. I agree that the Wee does seem lacking in the power department. And it just seemed a little small. I enjoyed my Vee. Took it off road in Nevada and got stuck several times, but it handled very rough non-technical dirt...

You had me going there at the beginning. Excellent RR. Sounds like you had a great trip!

Heh. It can be a challenge. I believe if you load on imgur and right click -> copy image address you'll have success. I find copying the suggested link doesn't work. But congrats on the new bike!

Awesome! That's about as a good a home for it as any. Maybe one day I'll make it over there and see your bike on display. :D

Thanks for all the compliments, Eagle Six! You're a great rider also and the ZX looks like an F-14 in action! Sorry it was a cold ride at first, but I was thoroughly impressed by how you toughed it out! And thanks again for adding that leg of the route. AZ would not have been nearly as...

...I don't think any of those pictures loaded properly (not that I should be one to talk about it).

So far so good. I'm strongly considering a flash. It's no FJR power-wise. I think I might change the air filter and throw in a fresh set of plugs first, to make sure I'm getting all it will give stock. I also need to figure out how I plan to ride it and when; the Mitas E07 are apparently great...
