    Blipping the Throttle

    Hi All, I noticed when I give my FJR a quick throttle blip, I get some not so good, kinda of a knock like, sound from under the gas tank. I can twist it up and it revs up smooth, it's just the quick blip when done real quick that I get that knock sound, and it seems to resonate through the...

    SPLIT: Salvage FJR

    The second Salvage FJR I found has been on the road for some time, it's registered and loaded with sliders, GIVI trunk, seat back, and lots of smalls... The seller sent me a text yesterday and is getting desperate to sell - I have no affiliation and am just passing on the info. I think he'll...

    My Dealership Burned Down Tonight

    They had two buildings. I think this one is the ATV/watercraft center. https://www.nbcbayarea.com/news/local/Firefighters-Battle-2-Alarm-Structure-Fire-in-San-Joses-Cambrian-Park-Neighborhood-280478332.html

    Saddle Bag Hickey

    I was looking at a 2014 model without bags and noticed an identical looking scratch just below the mounting area for the saddle bags. The scratches are just into the clear coat on the painted area and it looks like it could be something put there by the bag or bracket. I do not remember if it...

    Any Hams on Here?

    Amateur radio operators, that is... I'm wondering if any of you use APRS to track your FJR rides, or other? There is an APRS transceiver module, an AP510, for around $120. It's only 1W, but well featured otherwise. Real-time tracking on www.aprs.fi

    Buying on Ebay

    There is an 09 listed with a $7800 BIN. Of course I need to at least see a bike before buying, and this one is only a half hour drive. The bidding is up over 6 grand and the auction keeps going past it's deadline. Anyway, I'm trying to figure out how to cut through ebay and get to the seller. I...

    Salvage?

    Scraping the bottom of the barrel here, an 05 missing some pieces for $2, and while not said I'm sure it is a salvage. Any idea approximately how much body panels would cost? I'm guessing a grand (if I skip the side cases). I'm not sure if there is any other damage either (no dents in the...

    Tell me I did the right thing?

    2013 FJR1300A, ~2,000 miles, Bought Jan 2014, $10,500. The seller has a $14.8K loan. He wanted to go to notary to draw up a contract, then we go to an affiliate branch (since the actual credit union that has the title is too far away from him, one hour drive) and I pay $10.5K on his loan, he...

    General Dislikes

    Hi All, I'm still considering an FJR, but I was wondering what generally puts people off of an FJR? Does it seem too big, tall, hard to ride? A couple things about my current ride, a cruiser, is that I do not like sitting back, not able to stand up. Feels like I'm hanging on and getting blown...

    What's not to like?

    A lot of the below is just me blathering on about me…but to get to the point, I’m looking for all the information about the FJR1300A (2009 models+) that come off as negatives. Mostly considering the ride feel, comfort, and reliability, and other nuances one would not know until they owned one...
