I have had a couple tires that wobbled on decel if I let go of the bars to rest my wrist. The roadsmarts never did that even at the end. But I road to Church this morning with just the front PR2 on it and going from funky shaped tire to nice round ones again, I would have thought anything felt...

Well I am in the middle of changing my tires, and I am noticing odd patterns on my front tire that I didn't notice on previous tires. ( front only ) I have been running Roadsmarts for the past couple sets of tires, and had good luck with them, but this set wore in such a way that I have been...

I need cheap tires that stick. I know these 2 tires are for lighter sport bikes, but I see them on sale for $200 a pair and since no one has bailed me out yet I don't have the money to spare for the PR2's I want. Will these run any time on a heavy bike like this? I am running them on my FZ-1...

Just finishing my 2nd set of RS. Looking for my next set, but it wont be Roadsmart. as others have said, I got only about 3500 miles out of them and the odd wear on the front makes the last miles feel like crap.

the title says it all. I know that some years had different gearing then others. is the 04 a lower gearing then the 07? Thanks

The center is wearing first. But Most of my miles were going to the places I wanted to ride. ( I.E. Getting to the Curves) And I have a beach trip and some other straight road rides this year ( more then I would like) .But the tires haven't cupped like other tires I have had, and they are still...

Just an update on my Roadsmart tires. I now have just over 5000 on them and several mountian road rides including back to the dragon this past weekend. ( actually we found many good roads near the dragon that are better suited for the FJR ,,you know,,, Sweepers and such.) anyway, I am not...

MY HERO :yahoo: I have never ran the 1/4 only 1/8 mile tracks, but your 1/8 mile et is as good as my VTX 1800 With its 40 nitrous shot!! It runs 7.40's in the 1/8, my fairly stock FZ-1 ran 7.10's and I crashed my Gixxer 750 on a road Course Track ( 7.30's at the dragstrip ) And am just now...

Wow, It never stops amazing me how Young I feel around a group of Rocking chair racers. I Want the noise for Saftey. I have had loud bikes all my life and only One ticket since 1984. You can buy used mufflers for this thing on Ebay for a song, so If I don't like it no Biggy. It seems that...

I while back I seem to remember someone talking about drilling out the mufflers on these bikes . If I remember correct they took a drill and drilled where the 5 small holes are ( stock these holes don't appear to do anything, but if you drill the part of the mufler behind them it will change...

That is why many of us have multiple bikes. I have several personalities On fits my VTX1800 another for track days 06 750 gixxer But when I am going to be putting on the miles, I Love my 07 Feejer. I do admit that I miss my FZ-1. That was a better compromise of performance to comfort, but...

I see a lot more scenery on my Big Slow Cruiser, but I feel more alive on my sport and sport touring bike. I think of the guy in the movie "Worlds Fastest Indian" Who Said " I live more in 5 minutes on my bike than most people live in a lifetime. Vote for nunoftheabove

No typo. I started out with the suspension all stock. but the 39-41 tire pressure that worked good on the sweepers made me very uneasy on the switchbacks I found that even the smallest imperfections in the road at full lean moved the bike. so I dropped the tires to 35-37 and that was much...

First I want to say that not all the Bad things some here have said about the Dragon are true. I went to the Deals Gap aka "the dragon" over the 4th of july. 318 curves in 11 miles,,,,who can resist. :yahoo: I stayed the night and got an early start on the dragon the next morning. at 7:30...

What bothers me is that you have frame sliders on it and yet you still hit the engine cover from the looks of the picture. How long are you sliders?

First let me say that I Know you are supposed to ride a bike not haul it, but Me and my family are going to do some traveling over the 4th of July, and I would like to take my FJR with me because we will be dangerously close to Deals GAP ( The Dragon US 129 in NC and TN ) 318 curves in 11...

Youse guys knows what he means! The turn signals on my 1979 Yamaha XS1100SF would "self-cancel" (though sometimes before I wanted them to). It certainly isn't cutting-edge technology for Yamaha to have put them on this bike. That being said, it isn't that difficult to add a unit that will...

I have both, an 03 VTX 1800 ( highly modified ) and my 07 FJR. I love my VTX for its Attitude, But as A friend of my stated " The VTX is like a Dump truck in comparison"

Congrats and ride hard, Ride long, ride safe,But RIDE

I saw on the VTX site another VtX owner test road an FJR this weekend, and couldn't stop bragging on it. My friend Joey ( who rode my FJR Saturday ) emailed me latter saying when he got on his VTX to go home he Really thought something was wrong with his Bike, He said it took a moment for...
