I bought new radial tires for my Kendon trailer at Wal--Mart online. They were on sale and pretty cheap for the two trailer tires and the spare. Shipped to my local Wal-Mart and I took the old tires/wheels in and they mounted/balanced the new tires for free.

I was dual sport riding last year with a guy on a new KTM 500 when he put diesel in it by mistake. Made it about a mile down the road before it sputtered and died. We drained the tank and put new gas in it and he ran the lithium battery down cranking it over trying to start it. So we put...

I have a Wr250R, FZ07 and FJR in the garage. Talk about being different!! I've put about 18,000 miles on the WR in five years here in the Ozarks. Just got the FZ07 a little over a year ago and it is now my "go-to" bike on the street. Loads of fun to ride because its so light and nimble at...

Looks to me like someone should be using a Tier 1 gasoline like Shell or Exxon or BP to keep things clean..

Used Dark tinted shorty sport screen. 9 inch high by 22 inch wide. No scratches, but normal minor wear marks. Great air flow and makes the FJR look like a big sport bike. Send a PM with cell or email and I will send a pic. $65 plus $10 shipping.

Bought a lightly used FZ07 last summer. What a fun bike! That parallel twin engine is sweet and love the light nimble handling!

Lots of suggestions here for bikes but not many are true sportbikes. I just sold a Honda CBR 954RR. IT was an awesome narrowly focused sport bike that had 380 lbs of telepathic screaming power and 150 hp. That riding position was good for a little over an hour before my right leg would go to...

Still for sale... Still for sale...

I need to move this unit out of the garage!! Someone make an offer please!!

Best bike I have ever owned too.. I'm downsizing to a FZ07..

Faster Galaxy Blue color Good condition but has been ridden so has some scuffs and minor scratches from riding Non-ABS 115k miles Fork brace Cee Bailey +2 +2 windscreen Wilburs suspension front/rear Recent tuneup and valve adjust Heli Risers Garauld backrest and tailrack New battery...

congratulations on the new bike!! I think of all the times I haven't used my '05 FJR toolkit over the years and 115k miles. If I did need to fix something, if I couldn't do it with a screwdriver and an allen wrench then I wasn't going to fix it while on the road. Which, by the way, has never...

its a simple equation really: big heavy bike + rider + big engine = back tire wearing out you could make a back tire wear a little longer by going easy on throttle but whats the fun in having a big motor if you ride it like a Prius??

my original battery on my '05 lasted a long long time, right up until it wouldn't start it while out on a good ride. you have definitely gotten all the "goodie" out of that battery so I would replace it. I gotta get a new one for mine before I ride anywhere this spring.

I can relate to this topic... My ;05 FJR with 115,000 miles still runs like a champ, pulls like a freight train and looks good. I walked into several dealers in this area to look at new bikes and they all started with "hey, bring your bike in and lets trade"... so I reply "what will you give...
