"Get ready for alot of questions not all dumb I hope." Just don't dare ask ANY questions about oil or tires for goodness sakes. You can talk about anything you want on this forum EXCEPT oil and tires. If you do, then you will be sent to the NEPRT Dungeon right away! Enjoy the new ride.

Dont want to hijack..... but I am gonna! Get the Morgan CarbTune. I own both the motion pro and the Morgan and there is no comparison the Morgan is way better. Whew! I am glad I got that off my chest.

Its probably your balls roasting! Ok, I had too! Seroiusly though, I use a special motorcycle soap on mine called s100 that has a funny smell for a while after I wash. I use it for the engine and lower end and it just stinks and takes a while to go away. Mine also has a "just been ridden"...

Wire brush off the big chunks or use a piece of marron scothcbrite and paint it. I use rustoleum by the gallon and a small paint roller. it goes on fine and lasts for years. I would not go to crazy on a trailer, they take a real beating from rocks and road debris. Even if you did the...

ok, I went to a local shop and had three keys made for 17.81 out the door. They look just like the Yamaha key but do not say Yamaha. I called the dealer and they wanted 14.00 for the blank and then I would have to go to a locksmith to have a it cut - no way I was paying this much. Now I have...

As title states, I pulled into local cycle shop to look at tail bags and back rests for the FJR and as I was just touching the key, a car whipped in right behind me going really fast so I took my eyes of the key and it fell somewhere down in the fairings of the bike. The car did not hit me but...

I have the same thoughts: one of my riding buddies has the C14 and him and I have ridden together a few times in Colorado and here in Texas. Both bikes seem about the same to me on the top end. We have done several runs at 100+ and a few at 150+ and both bikes stay together all the way up. I...

My story exactly..... I really like the Carbtune: Simple to use and works well, what could be wrong with that?

1300, My bike gets a "heavy" front end when either the tire pressure is low or the front tire is worn. I have experienced both scenerios with this bike. Good luck

LOL! Seriously, I wonder if the loose slide feel has to do with the shorter wheel base and reduced weight of the Gen1? Maybe? The only time mine has been loose is tar snakes and a nice high speed slide in pea gravel in Arkansas. I saved that one or it would have been back to the hospital...

Get a radar detector, mine has saved me countless times. Most cops I see ride around with their radar on so you get an early warning..... Laser is a different story but if you watch traffic patterns and use your detector you should be ok. For what it is worth, I do my real speeding in the...

I have read this entire post and find it interesting to say the least. I would try the power commander and use a datalogging Wide Band O2 Sensor system that would allow you to measure the actual output at different areas. It would be easy to see with a wideband if the ECU is in closed loop and...

I have not felt that on my PR2's and I ride it hard. I only get 4-5k out of the rear, which is almost twice what I got out of the Diablo's. The Diablo's were the best riding tires by far I have had but they simply did not last and I need all the mileage I can get in the new "Hope and Change"...

DBM, I loved your post! I advised a friend to buy a Ducati last year as his first bike because he found the deal he wanted and really liked the bike. i was the "odd man out" with all of the others wanting him to buy a Ninja 250 and learn to ride, and blah blah blah. I told him he will be...

Welcome to the club. That is High Mileage for me as the Pirelli Diablos I ran only got around 3k on the rear. Pr2's get me to 4k and I am thrilled with that. Probably why people try car tires / wheel barrow tires / tractor tires or whatever the newest thing is to save a few bucks. These...

I thought it was the ball roasting heat forcing the Gen 1 riders WAY back in the seat, therefore causing the front end to be light and the results are more wheelies. Kind of like a sub-conscience effort of your balls to self-protect themselves? I guess your theory of taller gearing and longer...

When I was looking at both, my wife preferred the FJR by far. She said about the Concourse "Thats the ugliest thing I have seen, and the rearend is too wide" (Still cant figure out if it was me or the bike she was talking about) Anyway, she said I should buy an FJR cuz it was "pretty" Rest...

Thats about all I get also. I do ride mine hard though. I found the PR2 non B spec handles better than the B spec. However, neither handle like the Pirelli Diablo Strada tires do. I just cant deal with the low mileage on the Stradas. If I get 4k on a PR2 I am happy. 3k on stradas

Here we go again..... I havent had any trouble with my 2008 whatsoever.
