Receive my Sargent this morning, harder and larger than the stock seat that is way too soft. Time to ride.
I've never seen the 606 lb figure - where did you get that from? Wet weight of the non-abs Gen I FJR is in the 620-630 lb range from most figures I have seen. Add 15 lbs for ABS.have an 04 non ABS and I went & weighed it today on a local scale used for weighing moving vans, etc.
Book says the thing will weigh 606 completely wet, I assumed that was with hard bags however I guess bags
are extra. Full of gas without bags it was 620 which suprised me. Could the scale be off on low readings
since it is designed to read much greater weights ???

Just another dim wit from New Mexico here.
Ahhhh...... that is your problem! You are believing what Mother Ship Yammie tells you! Silly boy. As you have found out, they are fibbers!
I used to be able to find 'actual' wet weight measurements done by magazines with the help of Google, but it seems Gen I FJRs are getting long in the tooth. I can't find those anymore.
Barry's got bling! Barry's got bling!
Whatever you do, don't tell her how much that Smuggler cost.
Chuck, chuck,Chuck!! :no: You don't read much do ya??
fleabay mirrors are like beemerdons........ Avoid at all costs!
Naturally I went along for the ride. But, had I been in charge, I suspect the comments would be very different, something likeA very competent, confident ride. [FJR] is obviously very comfortable in all road/traffic conditions. Dealt with other motorists/cyclists in a safe, courteous manner. A high standard was shown throughout the ride.
You need to do like the rest of the guys over that way.. Send it here an drive over an get it.Whatever you do, don't tell her how much that Smuggler cost.
That wasn't the worst of it.
I paid an extra $362 in duties and shipping just because I'm on the "wrong" side of the 49th parallel.
I should get my head checked for pulling the trigger anyways.
I spent half of the day today spooning so I can have fresh rubber for NAFO.
Well, actually, my wife did help with the spooning. The front tires went right on almost by hand, but the rear ones needed some leverage.I spent half of the day today spooning so I can have fresh rubber for NAFO.
Spooning with whom Greg?? An why ya need rubbers for NAFO??
Is there something I should know aboot?
