Hello from Alaska...I'm a returning member that in the last year went from an '06 FJR1300A to a Yamaha Stratoliner S, and now back to a n '07 FJR1300A...back to the future it seems again...same great ride as before and am enjoying the speed and confort...the Stratoliner is a fine cruiser and whsh I could have afforded to own both at the same time.
The '07 seems the same as my '06 except for the rear lift handle which appears to be easier to grab...maybe it's my imagination...this is a much smoother bike than the last, has no vibration issues yet, and clear mirrors up to twice the posted limit...I'll wait a few miles to play synch with the throttle bodies and plates...I'm in the middle of a brisk engine run-in and already the engine temps have declined to a steady 4 bars...time to change the oil and filter.
I did the Barbarian Mod and went +5 from the factory setting of +5 +18 +18 +21...quite different from my earlier ride but seems as smooth...will check performance as time goes by.
Anyway , just here to say hello and will be reading to catch up on the last year's topics.
