    2013 bike

    I owned a 2013 for 60k miles. I flashed the ECU to remove the CC limit completely. I also had the Yamaha trunk. I still have the backrest pad if you want it... pm me. Great bike, nothing but tires and oil needed. I like the A suspension better than the ES too. Buy it and ride it!!!

    TIRES?? What tires are everyone running on their FJR?

    Fred, Like we say in Minnesota ... " Sure it's cold and miserable sometimes , but that helps keep the riff-raff out" Enjoy all 4 seasons! Life would be dull without them.

    I need 6 RED hole covers for my new to me 2014 FJR! I rarely use saddlebags so these are important. If you always wear bags, maybe let them go! Also, I have 6 2013 (stone gray) hole covers available for sale! $50 plus shipping.

    Road Noise

    roar begins when front tire pressure gets down to about 37psi. The manual says front s/b 36, but most find 40-42 feels firmer , lasts longer, and helps to eliminate checking. YMMV

    Fuel Gauge

    M, While you're working on the vent tube, re-set your trip meter whenever you fill up. Then assume 200 miles (5 gals x 40 mpg) until you need to find some gas +/- 50 miles. YMMV

    The best year for the FJR1300

    2003 !!! First year in the US and the prettiest and the lightest and the fastest!!! My son still rides my '03 (78k) after I added my 2013 (58k).

    New Member - 2013 FJR1300

    OP, Nice 2013 !!! I have one just like it w/ 58k miles and it (mostly) still looks like new! I did add a 'kickstand foot' so it will never roll off the kickstand in gravel or pointing downhill. BTDT...

    Mixing Michelin Road 6 GT and 4 GT?

    now the front is almost perfectly 'matched' in lifetime with the rear so I change both front/read in the same time. Cosmin, Maybe you keep the front in the air so much the wear equals out... Wheelies can be fun (?)

    Looking to replace my RT. Have a few questions.

    Marko, Mama Yama sells a color matched top box ... most of us prefer Givi due to larger inside and firmer mounting bracket. There is a Touring windshield from Mama available. Fix the bars first, then the seat, then address the windshield. Risers help, also a Heli block raises the bars...

    Mixing Michelin Road 6 GT and 4 GT?

    I love Michelins ... PR2, PR3, PR4 and Road 6 (never tried R5). I found they like to be aired up about 40 psi as they seem to ride soft (even the GT). I find them great initially, good in the middle miles, and still round @ the wear bars (6-9k mile avg). Wet or dry they are better than I am!!!

    Considering returning to FJR

    Enn, A 60 year old friend of mine recently bought a used 2014 FJR. After just the 50 mile ride home from the Dealer he said " That CC is a game changer!" Maybe try any 2013 + FJR for a day or so and see if it doesn't fix your issues.
