    Thinking About Running The FJR on Local Road Course

    Jay in Ohio - I have an ES so I set the suspension to Hard 0 but eventually softened it to Standard 0 as the track had some bumps. Tire pressure I checked and rechecked at the mfr suggested 38f and 42r. Suspension was not a problem except for the braking at high speeds. Nature of the beast...

    Big Sky - I appreciate your humble and honest account of your experience. I feel more comfortable with risk when I have "some" control of the dangers. I really don't want to wreck my FJR with No insurance coverage. Hearing your account helps so thank you. BTW: I am glad you were "ok"...

    Thinking About Running The FJR on Local Road Course

    I have the opportunity to run my 2014 FJR ES on a local road course (amateur fun). My reservation comes from having to shell out $300 for racing leathers and boots to find out it is a bad idea. I am a competent 50 year old rider. I think it would be a blast but other than watch I have ZERO...
