The ES has 21 different settings for suspension, 7 in each mode of HARD, STANDARD or SOFT. The front springs don't allow for preload adjustment, set up from the factory for a 200 lb rider , give or take. If you weigh less or more the damping rate might not be ideal for you so you would have to...

08FJRSteve, Sorry, I don't have that brake line. Thanks, Dan

I am of the mindset that any FJR that has been ridden and taken care of an d not showing signs of wear other than tires if priced right is a good deal. FJR's are reliable machines on the average and very versatile. I have had three Gen 2 A bikes and all had upgraded suspension. Is the ES worth...

Sorry $475.00 plus shipping. Thanks, Dan

Very sorry for your injuries and prayers for a speedy recovery. We can all relate in some way.

I found a castle nut socket on FleaBay for $16.00 used. I found the spanner was too iffy and cumbersome. BTW, nice job @Pete-o on your creation.

I like the '15 ES. Still the 5 speed and I have come to really like the electronic suspension, cruise control and updated ( info wise) panel display. But my 09 A was nice also, they are all good and fun.

Are you certain the throttle closes to the stop completely? The 07 AE came with heated grips and the grip wire wraps around in the housing sometimes not allowing the throttle to fully close. The auto shift function ( both paddle and foot shifter) won't allow shifting if the ECU sees a high...

Scottfinn, Congratulations and welcome to the forum. Keep in touch here and you will see what issues were common with the 08 and what should be checked. A lot of knowledgeable riders here with good information.

If you decide you need a coil I can help you out. PM me

Sure, my guess is more than TheCrazyBird is willing to pay. $900-1200? LTL service is costly and that's why I still have my 09 engine sitting in my garage.

Welcome from Temecula, SoCal. Enjoy and glad to have you aboard.

All good advise. Concentrate your efforts on getting the engine running. If something needs to be replaced or a major issue arises, the cost of repairing may not be worth it on such an old bike. Flushing the brake/ clutch lines, etc. can be done later. As Dan Cooper suggested, don't forget to...
