Howie that photo chop is hysterical, but it looks like the whale had Hitler shoved up it's ass since you didn't get rid on the one arm.
Just goes to show, working in a hurry and you miss stuff.Howie that photo chop is hysterical, but it looks like the whale had Hitler shoved up it's ass since you didn't get rid on the one arm.
Since it is indeed FJR Forum dogpile Friday: Yeah, and if my other arm was up your ass - You probably wouldn't notice that either!

******** ummmmmmmmm it looks like a POS.... not worth the effort to install......Gentlemen,I've been running the PR2 also, and have about 16k on one now. It's toast, but not to cords. I'll probably order another one unless I read some awesome reports about the PR3.OCfjr, I am due for a new front tire soon. I live in Fl and do about 80% highway and 20% curves. What front tire do you prefer for IB type riding? Currently I am using a 2CT on the front with the Exalto on the rear.
The following are pictures of my PR3 showing some tread block wear after 1500+ miles. I installed it 2 saturdays ago. The tire handles as good as a new tire should. It tracks straight, only has a hint of a deceleration Yamawobble around 40mph, holds the curves well, and no surprises in the rain. My barn door of a Rifle +8 windshield is reflecting some tire noise back at me. It makes a noise similar to a 4x4 truck with mud tires, though not nearly so objectionable. You will notice there is no continuous rubber down the centerline of the tire, I believe that is where the noise is being generated. The old POS Metzler Roadtec tire was much noisier, I'm glad it's gone!
Air pressure is 42 front, 30 rear. PR3 front, Exalto rear. Stock suspension front and rear. Rebound damping turned near full stiff front & rear. I'm 6'6" at 210 lbs. Moderate load in both bags for my trip. Rain ride a good portion of the ride coming and going. Both tires self mounted & balanced - no Dyna Beads.
Interesting to note, my last bike had over 9K on the 019Grid at the point of impact. The front tire was a Michelin Pilot Power 2CT (sport bike tire) that I got in Bend Oregon on the way back from WFO 8 in Moscow. The front tire still had plenty of life in it save for the massive rim pinch and the truck license plate numbers embedded in it.
We shall see how this new PR3 holds up with time.
Hope this helps.

Huh. If the battery dies, how you gonna start your bike without a kick-starter?OK, just came upon this thread as a newbie. Being a post Yamaha RSWarrior owner I've read the pros vs cons on this "darkside" BS on RSWarrior.com. All I can say is, "What a bunch of cheap bastards!" that would actually put a car tire on a sport bike. If you can't afford the real FJR/motorcycle tire, then don't buy the bike. I just hope no one finds themselves waking up in a ditch after you spun your rear tire through a corner. :angry2:

See that, even you can learn sumptin from the guy with 5 posts.Now at least your front brake pads will last!OH MY GOD!

Thanks for the warning, Raven! I'm gonna go pull that damn heathen tire off RIGHT NOW!!! Your wisdom and eloquence has forced me to see the light!
You get to have an opinion just like anyone else 09Raven. We sort of like informed opinions better than judgemental ravings from someone new to the forum that hasn't even read all of the thread, or enough to realize the goals of this experiment. Cheap? You bet. Of course, some of my week long rides exceed the life of any other available motorcycle tire, so there's some functional issues in play here too.All I can say is, "What a bunch of cheap bastards!" that would actually put a car tire on a sport bike.

This just has to be a troll since he really can't be serious. But maybe he has evaluated all the various car tires and found none of them work and significantly dangerous. Hmmm, I must disagree though, but heck I've only tried one (Exalto A/S), do guess my opinion counts less than Mr. Five Posts.OK, just came upon this thread as a newbie.

And I suppose that you HAVE ZERO CLUE that some of us ride the FJR for reasons other than to push through the curves. Why don't you take a look at how the FJR dominates the Iron Butt rides and rallies. Since those rides usually involve LOTS of long straight miles, maybe there is an advantage of using a car tire. Oh, I forgot that you have been here for not even 10 posts and already know it all. :angry: :asshat2: :fuk:OK, just came upon this thread as a newbie.

Good to have you aboard.Ooooooo, you guys are super scary. In fact, I am a senior member of RSwarrior.com with well over 1600 posts since 2007. The "dark-side" is nothing new to me. We've discussed it several times on that site. I bought the FJR because I know that it is a superior motorcycle over the Warrior and most other bikes for my needs. My take on going to the darkside continues to be the prior mentioned. Just because this is my first FJR, doesn't mean that I don't have experience as this is my 6th motorcycle over 20+ years of riding. some of you people may scoff at my opinion but I hate to tell you, most people who ride motorcycles actually prefer motorcycle tires over car tires on a motorcycle.
Congrats to me, I've now obtained "6" posts. I must be in the running for "Senior Member" now! :yahoo:
Wow! You've really owned 6 motorcycles in your lifetime!!!! That's amazing! 1600 posts on the internet! Oh my gosh, we are SO blessed to have you share your wisdom with us rookies on our sportbikes!

Speak for yourself. I'll take un-informed sanity over informed insanity any day. :****:We sort of like informed opinions better than judgemental ravings from someone new to the forum that hasn't even read all of the thread, or enough to realize the goals of this experiment.
Troll? Nah. 'Enlightened' comes to mind.This just has to be a troll since he really can't be serious.
