The 07 FJR is only at a little over 81,000 miles. My FJR is a dedicated rally bike and not my daily rider...therefore almost all the miles are from various rallies including the 2010 IB5000 and the 2011, 2013 and 2015 IBR. It has been an incredible platform to complete multi day rallies on!

I am finally catching up on this thread after getting home late yesterday. This was my third and final IBR. I want to congratulate all the other riders who participated. Each rider must endure their own personal demons and physical ailments. It is truly an accomplishment to finish this...

Hi, this is Perry's wife - Perry has confirmed that it is his left speaker and not the cables.

I met Tony in the parking lot this morning and he was a little stressed by the broken frame and not sure that he was going to able to start. I told him get his issue posted on the FJR forum asap and this community would have him fixed up in no time. I had to leave to get a tire change and then...

I will be looking for you!

Matt, A few months ago the original scheduled as posted was changed. The date for Checkpoint 1 was changed from July 1 to July 2 giving us an additional 24 hours on Leg 1. All the posted times remained the same. The date/time for Checkpoint 2 was left as is.

I will be riding again this year. It will be my 3rd IBR. I am using the same 07 FJR as the previous rallies so preparations were less intense this year than my first IBR. As Matt indicated, the time leading up to the IBR can be all consuming. It is all the little details that can make your life...

Arriving Thurs afternoon. Bike maintenance scheduled for Fri. am.

Give it to him before....... I will take mine after

Thanks for the info.... I have forwarded to Scott..... Re clutch destruction....... Scott is in denial and is placing blame with the previous owner.. something about high mileage and 125,000 miles....blah....blah.... blah.... I just nodded my head politely at his pathetic attempt to cover up...

I am posting this question for Scott Thornton who was riding a new to him FJR on the Mason Dixon 2020 rally a couple of weeks ago. Unfortunately, after only a few hours into the rally, Scotts FJR's clutch self destructed. I guess he is trying to put the pieces back together and had the...

I made the switch to the darkside this Spring as I wanted the mileage from a CT for the IBR. I chose the Gmax base on the feedback and local availability. After a few 100 miles, I forgot about the CT. I expected more of a compromise in handling and I was surprised how fast you can adjust to...

Just a little choked up from that.....very emotional.

If a cheeseburger has blown off your tank bag while riding down the freeway....

Well guys, this week I am going to "pop my CT cherry". I will be installing a G-Max and will post some pics once installed. The posts on this thread have been very helpful. Unfortunately, it is going to be many weeks before I get the bike out for the first ride of the year. -28 degrees C...

I had a water pump fail at about 45,000 miles. I rebuilt the pump and have had no problems for the past 50,000 miles. As already stated here, usually the pumps will leak for some time before complete failure. In my case the leak started just before a LD rally and I was able to ride about 2000...

Tony, I doubt any of us are thinking that you are a quitter and who really cares if someone did. Your LD riding accomplishments are huge and you belong to a small group of LD riders because of your IBR finish. You have nothing to prove to anyone.....including yourself. I would echo what...

Enjoy the ride Mike and return safely.

On Friday I finally got off my lazy *** and rode my first Saddle Sore of the year. My work schedule has prevented me from participating in any rallies this year. To make it a interesting, I did it on my stock 92 Yamaha FJ1200 using a paper map and headed north to Cochrane, Ontario. I love...
