I wasn't sure I would check back after my post as I though I might need a clean break to ease the pain of not having the bike, but I'm glad I've come back and read all the encouraging things here. Thanks. This was purely financial as the $ is needed elsewhere and I know I will return. I will...

Sold my bike tonight and I'm as low as snail's belly. Told my sons it is a classic example of doing the right thing, even when it is hard. Just didn't need it for commuting anymore, and it was too much cash to sit in the garage M-F when I've got kids in school and stuff. This forum has been...

Well the bike sold today. A very sad day. Thanks to all here for the fun and knowledge. If I am able to buy a bike again in the future, I hope they are still making FJR's.

My bike is still available and I've dropped the price below NADA to 10,399! It's a perfect and farkled 14 with many upgrades and loads of love. Unblemished. If you are in the market for a Gen 3, you should take a close look.

Don't make this any more painful for me. Just buy my bike and drive it away and enjoy the hell out of it, as I would. A job change has removed my "need" for the bike, and I can't justify having it sit in the garage most of the time. It is as pristine as a bike can be, with many upgrades, and...

Just got my PR4GT and will definitely be doing my rear tire as I had hoped. The original T23's have held up OK for 9,000 now, but the center flat spot is starting to be noticeable on rides. For fun I will pull my air filter too as I haven't don't that yet. Looking forward to seeing everyone and...

Congrats and welcome to the forum. Although the blue bikes are mighty cool and turn heads, the red are proven to be fastest by the Eyeball and Butt Test Society of North American Motorcycle Speed Verification (ETBSNAMSV). Now that you have the best overall machine on two wheels, you will start...

I think it is true the T30 is discontinued because my local dealer says they cannot be ordered anymore and Revzilla says the same. I was told the EVO won't be in warehouses until mid-April. I'm certainly inclined to stick with PR4 like I have on front, but for $60 less on the rear for a good...

Curious what the word will be on the upcoming T30 EVO GT. Supposed to have improved, but they always say that. About a $60 difference between that and the PR4GT.

You may have found what I found that one of the online FJR tutorials on spark plug changing is for a Gen 1. My Gen 3 is different. You do need to loosen the bolt at the hinge point at the back of the tank. then, when you are ready to put her back together, the allen bolts near the handlebars...

Don't suppose you were Navy? Biggest employer and reason for people passing through this area is Navy. My older brother was on a fast attack sub out of here for 8 years. Well, when they weren't underwater for 6 months looking for trouble.

Life is indeed like a box of chocolates, except it is not only random what you will get, but who will do the getting! If our bikes, for some reason, were limited to 4 gears, we would all be fine with that and move on. Since our bikes can now have 6 gears, some will like that variety. I'm...

yes, sadly, I have no pictures. And this is an awesome photo creation. We are so fortunate to have magnificent riding country here in the PNW.

As a Bainbridge Island based rider, I tend to do my joy rides on the Kitsap and Olympic Peninsulas. Not a bad stomping ground. I've been taking pleasure rides in various locations for years, but did a combination ride yesterday that was just outstanding. There are endless great variations, but...

Just a quick reply to say i did a TBS check on my 14 at our local Tech day when my bike had about 1,000 miles and they were found to all be perfect and needed no adjustment. Luck of the draw. I just changed my spark plugs today, at 9,000 miles, using the OEM plugs, because although the bike was...
