I'm interested in trading my FJR for an FZ1 (or similar). I'm looking for a lighter, more sporty bike. The FJR is a great bike; I just don't ride it like I was planning (two up touring). My background is sportbikes and trackdays. While I'm no longer doing trackdays, I do miss my more sport...
Hi there. Thanks for the info. This is the first bike I’ve had with linked brakes. I come from the world of sportbike and track bikes, all of which had traditional 2 lines up front and one line in the rear. Also, no ABS. If I could find someone with a low mileage non ABS Gen 1 who wanted a low...

I also have a Gen 2 and I've turned my adjusters many, many turns; no changes. This is the first bike I've had that has these adjusters on them. I ride solo 99.9% of the time, and in daylight 98% of the time. If I can't get mine figured out, I'll pull them off and bin them.

This is the first bike I’ve had...

Any tips?
Thanks. I've never rebuilt forks before, but I'm pretty competent with tools and really want to give this a try myself. I know some guys say it's a bear of a job, and others say it's not too bad as long as you're methodical about it and take your time. A local shop near me quoted me ~$300-350...
