    Conti Road Attack

    My experiances with this tire was very disapointing. On HighWay they were OK and bike unusally firm but on normal roads they have: - No grip - No feedback And on wet they made surface like ice skating not driving. Definitly will never see my FJR or any other bike again. For FJR back to...

    Cracked Factory Trunk

    We had the same problem. We heat the trunk with heat gun (tried before with hot water) from a distance since two parts are glued together with some sort of plastic which melt on heat. Afterwards we increase the strenght with metal sheet glued with epoxy to the bottom of the trunk. It survived...

    FJR video

    This is quite good driving technic for this twisties. It's actualy very good for low speed obstacle bypass in city ride too. So I recomend You learn it, it may save You some day. Looking at the video I'm more concerned on left corner cutting. It is common in Alps but it is also common that a...

    It's not a mod but regular service thing, Yamaha does porely at the factory: TBS (Throtle Body Sync)

    "Abrupt off/on Throttle Reaction" Rider magazine

    On my bike TBS (Throtle Body iSynchronisation) resolved the issue. I also heard reports that it does the same on FZ1 and other Yamaha FI bikes. It seems that for some reason Yamaha factory settings is not very good like they would allow to wide specification. Anyhow, after explicitly demanded...

    Yamaha Top Case vs. Givi Top Case

    Ever Touched a Knee Puck Down?

    Hi, one guy made a movi with last two corners on the track with FJR. It can be seen, that they are fairly slow corners when You can do knee draging. https://foto.slovenija.net/index.php?album=...age=Goody01.mpg

    Ever Touched a Knee Puck Down?

    Actualy I tried it and it was easy. You have to lean enough (or as we say get enough off the seat) and then You also don't have to be very gymnastic (I'm sure not :) ) But it would be advisable to train this stunt on cheaper bike just in case. As it was mentione, kneeing to the ground can...
