    FJR1300 top speed?

    It’s a 2003! I started putting CB radios on my bikes in 1980. I had never heard of Bluetooth back then. Before gps times even. I used to load Delorme Mapngo on a pda for handlebar mapping. I’m an Old Dog don’t ya know

    First KTM 690 Enduro Ride

    Yes my 2010 is a wheelie demon too! Hot motor, but fan keeps it in check. I hit kill switch if sitting still for a minute or more. I don’t shut off key if fan is running rather stop motor with kill switch and when fan shuts off then shut off ignition.

    Advertising said brakes of the R1! Wait this beast is a little heavier. Galfer wave rotors, stainless brake hose, fork brace, forks and rear 4 way shock sent out for cleaning every couple of years. Spring for just my weight and no passenger. I keep it soft sprung for my sensitive behind!

    I have galfer floating wave rotors on my two sets of rims. Used a big big hammer to get the bolts out. Good luck!

    Daughter needs a car

    Nice truck! I like the diesel with the pull behind tt because I get to fill up the tank at the truck stops when towing. Makes it much easier not having to worry about the cars blocking me at a gas pump.
