[QUOTE="graytaz, post: 1447421, member: 7079"] I've never heard of anyone other than a darksider getting that kind of mileage on an FJR. Are you sure you're not riding a Harley with a heavy cruiser tire? I get between 13 and 14,000 km typically (8500 miles) and figure I'm doing well. When the road is challenging enough, my riding would definitely qualify as spirited but most of south western Ontario roads don't qualify. My Gen I '03 was spec'd at 36psi front and my Gen II '08 is spec'd for 39psi and it's a slightly heavier bike with its weight bias more forward. Have they reduced the recommended pressures since the '08? The 36 on the Gen I was always too low and it showed with most riders experiencing cupping until they bumped up the pressures. The Bin of Facts doesn't indicate when tire pressures changed. [/QUOTE]
