[QUOTE="SkooterG, post: 1415948, member: 118"] Wow. What a bummer. I remember lusting after the FJR you bought. I'm glad I have too many already and didn't buy it. That sucks you are so unhappy. Like posted above, sell it. You will NEVER be happy with it. I bought and sold a LOT of FJRs over the years. Always have had good luck in both. But the one FJR I didn't really love was a higher mileage 2004. It had 60k miles on it and I got it for *reallty* cheap but with that many miles I found that how other folks maintain and farlke their bikes is not necessarily up to my standards. I rode it for 6 months and sold it for more than I payed for it. (And fixed some of the 'issues' too.) After that experience my general rule is not to buy an FJR with more than 15-20k miles. My theory is with that low of miles, somebody shouldn't have had enough time to screw it up too badly maintaining it or farkling it. While I have had good experiences doing fly and ride FJR purchases, you have to be careful. In the past I have gone at looked at low mile examples of FJRs advertised as 'excellent' only to find that wasn't really the case. Wheatie got banned from FJRForum? Really? WTF? This place sucks.
