But then I just found out about one 04 FJR that is having compression and leak down issues with only 88k on the clock. Still, that seems to be the exception and not the norm.
I'm new to the forum in the past week. Picked up an '04 in June with 16,000 miles. The reality of a the forum is that when you search for problem issues, all you'll read about are problems. Good to hear about the 100K+ bikes out there, especially the "spinning clown" guy. Thanks SkooterG!
