    My 05 FJR vs. HD

    Hey pilots, I just wanted to say that I bought my 05 FJR in May with 2000KM's on it and I now have 11,000KM's. I'm really loving this bike. This is bike number 15 for me and so far it's the best street machine ever. All the riding I have done so far has been in the Rocky Mountains of British...

    Great Ride Through The Canadian Rockies On 05 FJR

    05 FJR With 5K When To Go Synthetic?

    I have an 05 with only 5000 KM's on it. I went to my local dealer to get some new synthetic oil for the engine and rear end. The tech told me not to switch to synthetic until the bike had at least 10k on it. That seems like a very long break in period. Can anyone else advise me on this...
