[QUOTE="ReRose, post: 1419471, member: 91214"] All I had to compare the FJR to was my old 1300GT beemer but I sure thought the FJR should run better. I was used to the beemer with its roll on 1st gear wheelies and a real decent lift in the 1-2 shift and a little air on the 2-3 shift. On the last ride with my friend Brian he asked if I had traction control on it and I honestly did not know. He looked up on his fone how to turn it off and to my surprise a full twist at 3500 in 1st the front lifts fairly easy and will get a little air on the 1-2 shift. It would also actually run pretty good on a standing start without go - fall flat - go - fall flat ect. Now how to make the FJR feel real slow even with the TC off is ride the ZX14 all day and then switch to the FJR for the evening.
