Took the FJR out for a Sunday morning romp. Found a new mounting location for the camera that I think is pretty good. Todays route took me up PCH to Las Flores, Rambla Pacifica, Piuma, Malibu cnyn, Mulholland (snake, past Rock Store etc), 23, Encinal, PCH. Fun ride though there was some crud...

Nice day today in So Cal, SantaMonica Mtns/Malibu. I think someone hit the Summer botton in these parts! For anyone interested the link below is a vid of all of latigo cny from PCH up, then kanan back down to PCH. Fun ~25 mins if you are interested. The middle of Latigo is great with all the...

Got the new Contour GPS unit and mounted to Feejer today for a test ride. Went up PCH to Latigo, down Kanan and home in about 1.5 hrs. Took 1 hr of video and tried out a few different mounting locations. The GPS data is sweet. Its all is viewable when playing on the software installed...

I am curious what experiences or thoughts folks can share about continuing to ride our beloved steeds while raising a family. Do you have a young family now and ride? Did you ride during the early years of a new child’s life? Did you stop and perhaps resume motorcycling once your family was...

Wondering if anyone has real world experience using a Corbin passenger packrest on an '08 with a Givi E52 topbox mounted with a Premier Cycle accessories rack. I called both manufactures (Corbin and PMA) and they are not sure if there is sufficient clearance for the Corbin backrest and...

Well I took the feejer out for its first “longer” day ride. Just over 350 miles from Playa Del Rey to Santa Barbara, then on up the 101 to the 1 to Jalama Road, then up to Lompoc, over to Solvang, over the 154 back to the 101 down the coast home. Now, the ride was good and the ride sucked ass...

Hi all, I have just about a measly 1500 miles on the new '08 and am still getting used to the "normal" engine sounds etc. It seems to me there is a tinny/rackety sound coming from the engine I can hear when warm at idle. I am not sure if its normal valve noise, cam chain, just me or what? I...

This past weekend I took the bike for a run in the Malibu hills on Sat w/o the bags for the first time. It was a blast. Then today, Sunday, I basically did the same ride fully dressed. Santa Monica up PCH to Latigo Canyon over to Encinal Canyon and back down PCH. Great ride! Bike does...

Had my first really close call today with a low speed drop...pulling out of work parking lot, small driveway from lot meeting with street. Driveway is a downward incline pulling out. Making right turn. Bars turned slightly to the right, bike slowly rolling from drive way to street, front...

Hey gang - tried to google and search on this topic but did not find details I was after...hope its not too redundant a question. Got the Givi E52 gloss black topcase, mounted using FJR Sport touring rack from Premier Cycle Accessories. Nice rack, real easy to mount rack to bike and box to...

Going over the bike this evening and noted a small open threaded spot. Not sure if this is normal, bike is still new, but looks a bit suspicious as if something belongs there. If anyone can comment on the pics would appreciate. Thanks

Curious what most folks do with the side bags and/or top case when bringing the bike in for service. Seems like a good idea to remove and leave home (unless they somehow need to be worked on)...one less thing to get dinged up or damaged at the service shop. Also, what about other farkles? Do...

Hi all, Took the new bike out for another spin up PCH here in So Cal over the weekend. Again did Mullholland, Encinal, Latigo and nice sweepers up to Pt Mugu (for those who know the area). Feeling much more comfortable on this machine and love the way it handles overall. On the ride back in...

Hi all, 2 weeks on bike and noted a "clunk" up front moving around at slow speeds on 1st day or 2. Read up here on possible clunks from brakes and steering head, decided to give it more time and eval. Noted some chatter/clunk/rattle up front going over road ripples, thought maybe was the...

So after 1 week with the new 08 FRJ I am loving it. However need to put some real miles on it. Couple quick observations: -Saddle bag lock screws very loose and not loctite'd. I mean finger loose. Fixed that up yesterday. Cant stress enough the importance of following the new owners check...

Got the new bike today. All I can say so far is AMAZING ride!! Put a measly 35 miles on it after closed the deal this afternoon. Puts the other bike I have to shame. Speaking of shame, OK total green F'up here...took seat off to get manual out etc. Got front seat back on, placed rear on...
