I bought a set of RS IV in the spring but didn't ride the FJR enough to use up the Bridgestone T32GT that were on the bike. (Half last...

Happy to report here that Alan and Helen's 2015 FJR got a new home yesterday. It was a little sad extracting this beautiful, well cared...

A year of testing to the cords on identical VFR bikes. Same roads, same riding style etc. Based on the miles, I would say it was...

It is clearly an "A". 2007 was black cherry and 2008 was black in both Canada and the USA.

I'm helping Mrs Ionbeam sort through some left over items from Alan's substantial collection of FJR parts collected over the last 20...

Depends on the coolant and the vehicle. Same say up to six years and 100,000 miles. Older silicate formulations say quite a bit less...

Coolant retains its antifreeze properties indefinitely, but the additives that prevent corrosion go off eventually. I change mine with...
