Gotta be good to FJeer's :D I'm riding a Super Tenere now :yahoo: ; wish I had hung on to my '10 FJR too; but wife wouldn't let me close the deal on the S10 without selling the FJR- sometimes I just don't understand her :dribble:

Update: All Items spoken for. I am cleaning out the garage of various spare parts. I have the OEM rear rack and bolts from a 2010 FJR (took it off to put on Givi rack) and now have sold the FJR. Have handlebar risers and bolts for a 2003 FJR . Glad to ship either of these to you if you'd...

I sold my 2010 FJR and left my GIVI trunk rack on the bike. That leaves me with the original OEM rear rack and bolts in my garage. Does somebody want this? Perhaps you banged yours up and want to replace it? This one is the 2010 silver color. John ([email protected])

Thinking of selling my 2010 FJR so I can buy a 2012 super tenere. My FJR has 7K miles on it and matching GIVI V46 trunk. Anybody interested in buying for $13,500? PM me if your serious. I am located in Austin, Texas. Here is a picture of the bike on my trip to Big Bend last May. Click here I can...

I have used Mapsource on a Mac-with bootcamp for many years. Using bootcamp or parallel program that emulates a pc program on the Mac is sadly the best option as there is no great alternative that runs natively on the mac.

Central Texas Summer = 8 Fall = 10 Winter = 7 Spring = 10 Season = 12 months

I too am a FJR/KLR (2010/2008) rider and enjoy both of these bikes very much! looky here and here

Thanks to all for the well wishes. I appreciate your caring responses. Ride safe!

You've all heard the expression- "its not IF but when." Well my when happened yesterday. Actually it is a worse when- my wife low sided her Kawi ER6N on a relaxing sunday morning ride. There is nothing worse than seeing your spouse in a ditch! Luckily we always wear full protective gear from...

You can drive very aggressively- just be mindful of the weight and balance the weight between the two bags- but you will never hit the bags leaning on a corner unless you low side the bike! Where the bags get bashed up is hitting them on stuff when you don't realize how wide your bike is- like...

My wife also learned to ride in May of last year. Her first bike was a Ninja 250- best thing I ever did. This bike was just the right size for her to learn on and allowed her to quickly gain confidence and skill. After about 6 months, she stepped up to a "naked 650 ninja" ER6N. This bike allows...

New tire = $150 Blow out in a curve or highway = hospital bills, maybe severe injury never mind damage possibly to the bike. Also, if this does start leaking air- there is no way to patch a gash like you can a nail hole. So will have to tow it- so if this happens anywhere father than 50 miles...

Looks like a great ride- love my KLR too!

We've already established that tire wear is dependent on road surface, road temp, and obviously how aggressive you are with the throttle/brakes. I am in Austin Texas, ride all year long, and ride in extreme heat. My short rides are about 200 miles and I don't ride like I'm on a scooter. While...

Skooter, Very sorry to hear of your accident- was right in the area on AZ 191 in the Apache forest about the same time you were in the area my trip post. Thanks for posting the pics and describing what happened to you. Is certainly a learning experience for us all and reminds us that even with...
