    GEN2 stumble during takeoff

    I had a 2006 that did the same thing. I installed a power commander and enrichened the bottom end quite a bit and it ran as good as my new one. Done.

    Beautiful. Kinda reminds me of something.

    Considering a 2016 FJR, but concerned about tranny recall.

    My mechanic told me not to worry about the recall. He has not heard of any gear failures. I decided not to do mine.

    FJRF013 - Transmission Recall for Second Gear (DE, UK, CA, & US) (2016-2020)

    My dealer who happens to be the head mechanic told me that if it were his bike he would not do the recall. Mine runs great so that`s the way I am leaving mine.

    2022 FJR?

    I hope they upgrade the second gear.

    FJRF013 - Transmission Recall for Second Gear (DE, UK, CA, & US) (2016-2020)

    I`m not doing mine. I had a nice talk with my dealer who is also a mechanic and he said that if it were his bike, he would not do the recall. Just my opinion.

    FJRF013 - Transmission Recall for Second Gear (DE, UK, CA, & US) (2016-2020)

    What happens if I decide not to do the recall? I bought my 2016ES new and I don`t beat it and I don`t track it. I`d like to hear from some of you high mileage owners to see if you had any second gear issues. With the announcement of the end of the FJR, I might wait to see what Yamaha`s...

    I don`t read Dutch. Does anyone know what the issue is?

    Concours or FJR

    I had every Kawasaki series up to the ZX-14. When it came time for a tourer, I picked the FJR. The Concourse is way too big and heavy for me. When it came time for an adventure bike, I picked the Super Ten. Love them both.
