    FZ-09 is tempting me

    I have the Andreani fork cartridges on my FJ-09 (same parts) and it is loads better than stock. Then I added a Penske double clicker out back. Totally transformed the bike. Check out my install on the FJ-09 forum if you are interested (Suspension Section). Bought from Omniaracing direct from...

    Cee baileys: standard or reverse curve?

    Just for info: 6' tall with a 32 inch inseam and I used the 2+2 reverse flip. Almost perfect size. A 3+2 would have been better for me personally, but not a standard size. The windscreen is big enough to look through when full up, so the dark smoke is not advisable. This is not like a sportbike...

    Cee baileys: standard or reverse curve?

    Reverse curve is great. No problem into the triple digits I have heard, but I always lower the windscreen when in the twisties so I can feel the wind in my face. Have not noticed any vibration. Get the light smoke if you like (not dark at all). Still easy to see through, and looks better IMO.

    fj-09 Do not think so

    115mph thank you. Jeesh. I know, what is 5 mph.

    fj-09 Do not think so

    I have always wanted a lighter FJR. I don't do long distance (the FJR is perfect for that) much if at all, and really like the comfort and wind protection of the FJR, but that weight. It is heavy, especially in the tight stuff and pushing around the garage. If you want a lighter FJR with good...

    BeemerDonS crashes, is in hospital.

    You look like that boxer, Gash-ish Clay. Heel up soon.

    BeemerDonS crashes, is in hospital.

    Man that sucks. All that pain killer and no alcohol to consume in the hospital. I hope it wasn't his "service" hand/shoulder.

    Ok, do you "fast shift" or "slow shift"?

    I don't shift fast and I don't shift slow, kind of half-fast.

    Yamaha FJ-09 Sport Tourer Update

    This F-Jay handles fantastic and I want to take it on the track occasionally, and 115mph is pretty slow for the big track at Willow Springs. Heck, some people take the 600 lb FJR on the track I have been told.

    Yamaha FJ-09 Sport Tourer Update

    Those were probably overseas. We have had 4 members verify this speed limiter in the U.S. and one from Canada. The European ECU has a different P/N, so I think it is only a States thing. One bike had 1,700 miles on it and he was limited also. I have 800 miles on mine, and it is most definitely...

    Yamaha FJ-09 Sport Tourer Update

    I found the seat to be hard when just sitting on it and figured my Candy A$$ would require an aftermarket seat as usual, butt (notice the spelling), after a few 100+ mile days, it does not make me squirm or ache at all. I will keep it stock for now. Oh, just discovered it has a speed limiter of...

    Trailer tie down points

    It goes without saying to lower the windscreen all the way down before trailering right?
