[QUOTE="Fontanaman, post: 1327836, member: 19354"] The Gen II FJR's have a soft suspension. This was fixed starting with the Gen III's. Redfish has a good solution here. Many running Gen III find the rear shock works well. Still the front end needs attention such as a GP Suspension front fork valving and stiffer springs. I have upgraded the suspension on my 09 and it was one of the best upgrades. It solved many of the problems you described - it put the bike on rails and made turn initiation easy. The bike still stands up when braking in a turn but that isn't a suspension issue. [/QUOTE]
