Thanks guys! It's a standard UK colour but I added the "1300" decals because I remember from the last time I owned one, people constantly asked what capacity it was, lol. New brake fluids is a good idea - I'll jump on that, thanks. Regards, Tom. .

Found this 13yr old beauty LIKE NEW with just 10k miles on the clock. Beautiful!

Motorad - the FJR will be "The One", I assure you. Like you, I had a big gap inbetween riding bikes and in the last couple of years I've had no fewer than 11 bikes!!!! That includes the new Honda CBF1000 and the new Guzzi Griso. I never kept any of them for more than a few months and then I...

I lowered my 07 FJR with a dogbone kit. The bike dropped by 30mm and handled like a bag of shit. It's now back to normal height and I'm currently undergoing leg-lengthening surgery.

I'm not ashamed to admit it - that's my kinda humour! :blum: I want some!!

The longest single journey I've done is about 300 miles and I wouldn't honestly want to go much further in one day. To me, it's not about putting miles on your bike, its getting the most out of the miles you travel.

I went to Warrington today to pick up a cartridge for my Linn and I parked the FJR right in the centre of the precinct. When I came back 10 minutes later, there were 8 foreign visitors taking turns to have their photo taken with one hand on the throttle as if to claim ownership :D I...

We have a beautiful static caravan in the tiny village of Scorton on the edge of the Forest Of Bowland. It can sleep 4 people very comfortably and has central heating, double glazing, digital TV, cooker, microwave, fridge-freezer, all the mod cons to make your stay enjoyable. You're only...

Over the last few weeks I've been trying the Wally Smoothness/Power map and although it seems pretty good, I feel that it's a bit on the rich side. The exhausts are very sooty. Now that I'm used to it, I think I'll switch back to my map and see just how different it feels.

The installers of my PCIIIUSB failed to disconnect the O2 Sensor and after I did it myself, it ran far better. Click HERE to download [MadDogMcQ_Map 06/07] Copy Of Dyno-Printout

After the Quill exhausts were fitted, the bike had 9 Dyno-Runs to get the most out of the bike. A few people had asked me for a copy but I forgot to post the map for people to play around with - until now : :) Sorry! Click HERE to download [MadDogMcQ_Map] Suitable for 2006 bikes onwards...

Hmmmm, wonder if the "new" grips will be able to be fitted to the 07??? And WHY has the screen-mount been altered? Has anyone experienced problems?

Yes, I get that too. :rolleyes:

I don't know about you guys, but a lot of people never seem to know what make or model my bike is. In all fairness to non-bikers, the FJR is quite subtle in declaring its manufacturer's name and its capacity, so because my bike doesn't have the two stripes on the side (it's an 06 model), I was...

Well, on the UK site its showing 3 colours of Silver Tech, Midnight Black and Graphite. Silver Tech Midnight Black The Graphite has no stripes at all.....
