    2005 Saddle bags and stock screen

    I've got bot in OK condition. They have been kicking around the garage with young boys so they are a little scratched. The screen is in fair condition as well. It's been in a cal-sci bag and box. Make me a fair offer and I will consider. Pics on request.

    MPG

    I'm consistantly getting low 40's, rarely going below 40 but never above 44: disclaimer; I try to keep it between 70-80MPH on the freeway which is probably close to half of my riding, I do 30-50MPH the other half, in town to and from the freeway. 2005, she's 2 years old this month, with 25,000...

    Who Commutes on the FJR Daily?

    Every day rain or shine, 30mi each way! Well 4 days a week anyway, gotta love 4-10s! I must say, splitting lanes down 880, in Northern California, is easier with out the bags.

    Yami Tricker!

    I don't know if you know this or not but that is a trials bike. and you can get them in the US, maybe not from mamayama, but from others. Gas-Gas is one alternative. https://www.gasgas.com/Pages/2005's/Tri...odels-main.html

    Getting dent out of fuel tank

    I have these suction cups that grab when you close the handle. I have pulled dents out of car doors with it..... Might be worth a try. I got the suction cups at Harbor Freight. https://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/disp...temnumber=92825 Good luck.

    Interesting Theft and Crash Statistics

    I would be curious to see the data represented based on the number of accidents as compared to number of bikes registered. Sure there fewer bike crashes in Montana there are only 5 bikes registered there.

    listening to the radio

    SO I'm set up with my new XM and Etymotic headphones. Now every time I pass an officer of the law I wonder if I'm going to get pulled over. I know that there is a law, in Cali, that says that you cannot drive with headphones on, but I'm not sure how or if it is enforced. The question is have...

    Whats The secret to cold wet weather clear vision.

    Two Words... FOG CITY! I only swear by a few aftermarket items, this is one of them. They are kinda spendy (price per pound) but it works as advertised.

    FJR Sighting in Florence, CO

    I was backk visiting Mom and saw a crowd of bikes riding into town on 115 Christmas Eve. There were about 4 or 5 bikes but the only one I recall was the '05 beauty! Made me wish I had brought mine with me. If it was you where were you heading or returning from?

    rear end gear oil

    I know it's starting a potential oil debate but that's not the idea. All I want to know is, what weight oil do you use (in the rear end)? I went to my local STEALER and they gave me Honda brand shaft drive oil 80W90 shaft oil. Is this the right weight? Unfortunately the owners manual...

    know what these are?

    The dealer gave me these two rubber thingies (technical name) with an eyelette at each end. I asked what they were for but he didn't know, what they were, just that he found them in the owners manual so he passed them on. They are black rubber about 5-6" long and about 3/16" thick with a 1/4"...

    50! Who can do 50? I guess that I'm stuck with the 5 speed. I think it might grow on me but keeping it under 70 on the freeway for break-in is KILLING me....hell cars are passing me :bigeyes: ... That NEVER happened on my YZF! I couldn't agree more on hating stopping for gas, and no just...
