Just got a new FJR1300A, black cherry :clapping: . I have a couple of questions about my new bike. Have read a lot of posts and not seen any info.
In the "port" on the right fairing behind and level with the blinker there is a piece of gray foam rubber. It is visible from the driver position looking into the port. Is this normal (maybe to control airflow)? or did the dealer forgot to remove a piece of packing foam?
Next question. When I compress the fork while holding the front brake the fork makes a slight "thunk." With the bike on the centerstand and the front wheel in the air I can't feel any looseness, clicking, or thunking in the forks when I push/pull on the lower fork leg. What do you guys think? I suspect that this is normal suspension noise, just different from my prior bikes.
The local shop has only had 2 FJRs in the last year so I suspect that the shop will not be that much help.
The bike runs and handle great, can't wait for the first trip to the twisties.
