I wish I had that space available. If you have the electronic suspension FJR that space has been used for the controller :(

I have ridden 10s of 1,000s of miles with plugged tyres (mushroom type - best, and with gummy worm type). I've never had a problem. Admittedly, my speed was rarely above 70 mph. I wouldn't have any qualms riding with plugged tyres. As to tyre inflators, there are pros and cons to both - Yes, I...

Rather than change the headlight on the FJR, I would recommend installing LED driving lights. Denalis are good (though more expensive)

I was once followed by a motorcycle with modulating headlights in heavy traffic. I just wanted to stop and kill him. Secondly, in a lot of States and countries they are illegal. They are illegal for at least one reason - they severely distract other road users. So my advice, NO - never, ever...

Yes. I have used them extensively with heated grips. BUT I rarely, if ever, have the heated grips on maximum. On my 2019 FJR, you can adjust the temperature for each of the 3 settings which I have done. On setting Low and Middle, I've upped the temperature by 1 unit each and for setting High...

I've used Grip puppies for years over 12 years at least. They are excellent, don't hold much water at all when wet and don't block much of the heat from the heated grips. I have them on all my bikes and thoroughly recommend them. There have been reports that grip sleeves (Grip Puppies and the...

I have a 29½" inseam and I've bought the lowered seat from Top Sellerie (they're also available on Amazon - sometimes). I can now get the balls of my feet on the ground which I find is sufficient for me. I am now much more comfortable on the bike both riding and when stationary. If the ½" you...

Unfortunately, some Yamaha Dealer's mechanics are just cowboys. In Europe I had multiple problem with the work for the 2nd gear recall. The garage fixed one of the problems but refuse to fix the other. I went to Yamaha France and they sent an "investigator" to check the bike out - waste of...

Using a Matte Ceramic Coating doesn't add a gloss or a sheene to the paint. It makes the colour slightly richer. It actually bonds to the matte clear coat and makes it more durable. Difficult to describe and most people wouldn't notice any difference but the Blue is very slightly more blue. I...

If the coating was done 4 years ago and she was kept inside or under cover then, with only 5700 km, she probably won't need doing for about 10,000 km or so. Mine was coated 3½ years ago and has done about 20,000 km and is still OK (she's kept garaged) but will probably need doing before next summer.

I have a Phantom Blue Matte 2019 which was (matte) ceramic coated when new. The ceramic coating works very well in keeping the paint looking excellent and minimising water spots as water sheets off. It also makes the paint more resistant to scratches (it's not a panacea though) As sunnyorlando...

My French insurance company requires that mine has a serious lock (SRA approved) securing her whenever she is parked and must be kept in an alarmed garage (with the SRA lock securing the bike) when at home. If I don't have the lock on her and she's stolen, I lose 50% of her value! These...

Phantom Blue in Champagne

Only just the other day someone posted on another site about one of his Panniers becoming detached and self destructing on the road. Luckily this hasn't happened to me. Even so I decided to do something about it. With that in mind I decided to pin my panniers. It turned out to be a very easy...

You could say something similar about most companies who have manufacturing facilities in different countries. So but your metric is Apple Chinese?

R-Gaza is in LATVIA not Russia. Shipping is fairly quick about a week or so depending on holidays. They did, or possibly, still do have a manufacturing facility in St Petersburg. 52 Slokas iela Riga, Latvia LV1007 [email protected] Tel: +371-2-9358646 I have no association with them...

I have R-Gaza and they are excellent. R-Gaza FJR1300 2006 - 2018
