dose the fjr need to be lowered

[krotchrocketgrampa]

am a new owner, 3,100 miles ,came off an st 1300,have noticed that my fjr really turns in fast ! couple of other new owners have also notced this trait.

dose this thing need to be lowered,like some people say,or is it a matter of getting used to it doing so ?

I wouldn't lower it. You will lose clearance. I would only lower it if you can't touch the ground and can't find shoe lifts high enough.

Fast turn in is a good thing. You got used to the ST's handling, you will get used to the FJR's handling. Bottom line, don't go changing things, especially in a major way, until you've had time to get used to it. A few thousand miles and you won't even be aware of the 'fast' turn in.

Lowered !! -- only if you're inseam challenged. I had to raise mine to get adequate clearance cause we're always 2 up.

Once you get used to it, it's a *lo* of fun.

I think it needs to be raised!

thanks for the info guys,it was really helpful

instead of lowering it, which throws off clearance and suspension geometry, here's another option.
