I am at 6000 miles on my 23GT's and they look almost new. I keep expecting wear but I have to look hard to see it. I can't imagine not going over 10,000 miles on these tires. I live is flat South Texas. Hard to wear them out anywhere but center. BGH60

I would like to meet up with some other FJR riders in the Houston area. Sorry I can't make this weekend but if you schedule other rides please let me know. I live in Katy so have to head north to go anywhere so Liberty is in my routes. I ride with a Victory group and we are going to Victoria...

Mine rides twice a year whether I want her to or not. Once in the warm spring and once in the fall. Usually no more than 200 miles. Don't want to make it to comfortable for her. If she is moving around and complaining I know she is not asleep. Have to watch the grand kids though. They like...

Thanks, I found it but also got some new comments. Think I will do it in the spring. BGH60

I have a 2009 with a few farkles but I am considering the lowering links. My inseam was I thought 29" but old bow legs make it more like 27"-28". I had the Spencer seat mod and I wear boots with thickest sole I could find (that are not Harley boots). I can get both balls of my feet on the...

Just adding my ditto for the 09! Been doing it since I added the Yamaha touring screen. Tried lubes and helped breifly. Glad to know Yamha will fix it. Now I just need to remember next time I go in for service. I never have anything to complain about. My dealer checks every issue at every...

FYI-My son bought a new 2010 Tiger with bags, heated grips, center stand, upgraded exahust, all for $2500 less than a SE. ($500 was a Triumph military discount). Only thing missing is ABS and a reported better suspension. He loves it especially when he found out how to adjust the suspension...

I had same problem but I just cut out rubber gasket and it works great. I ordered one from Yahama and it was only a few bucks but my homemade is better anyway. BGH60

BT023 GT are great. I have about 900 miles on mine now. Made my bike feel new or better than new. BGH60

I to am bless/cursed with living in South Texas. In South Texas it's not just the heat but the humidity. I feel guility about it but ATTGATT goes out the door in the summer. It is impossible to enjoy a ride will full gear on no matter how much mesh it contains. I wear jeans, boots, long...

I must have short arms. I have never noticed anything bad with stock mirrors. I have only a few farkles. Throttlemeister (which works great for me). I just lock it down and make slight adjustments until I get it right. Frame sliders because I dropped it in my driveway (nobody saw me do it)...

If you wanted something kind of outlandish but totally workable a Suzuki B-King can be bought for around $8000. It is a standard. Pillion seat kind of small but would be fun to ride. Suzuki maybe releasing a 2011 version in UK with diffent paint schemes. BGH60

No ground spiders, no whistles, no heat, no vibration, no ticking, no slip clutches, no transmission noise, on and on and on , beautiful black color, 1/2 a tick slower to 125MPH. Humm I think a 2009 Gen 2 sounds pretty good. BGH60

This is only my second set of tires so I don't have a lot to compare with. I went with the new bridgestones 023GT. My OEM's were the 021's and I got about 8500 miles out of them. I could have squeezed more of of the rear but the front tire was getting slick. The 023GT are supposed to get 15%...

My 09 did the same thing. WD 40 and a few up/downs solved the problem. BGH60
