14,340 Miles. Clean/Clear Title. This motorcycle is in excellent shape and has never been down or dropped. The Break-In Service was performed at New England Cycle Center and has been properly maintained ever since. I changed the oil at the end of every riding season, always used a genuine...

Question: should I pull out the (basically dead) battery on my 2013 and charge it, even though it's (just) now in storage for the Winter? What happened was: after treating my gas and getting back from a nearby gas station after topping off the tank, I went iniside to let the mufflers cool down...

I recently purchased a pair of Olympia Air Glide 3 pants and (mostly) like them, but am not completely sold (I'm still in the 30-Day Return window). The knee armor is adjustable, but the range/mechanism of adjustment is less-than-ideal. I like the fact that they are mostly vented, look pretty...

Grateful to read your story and glad to hear you're getting out on the road. Hearing what you've overcome is inspiring and puts thing sin perspective. Be Well and Ride Safe!

In the first episode a sweet Gen II makes an appearance... Clicky

I noticed that you noticed the wind-screen returns to the bottom position at shut-off, there's a hack to "fix" that (have it stay put at shut-off); search the forum, it's pretty easy. Great job! Thanks for all the pictures and allowing us to "follow along" on the project...

Thanks for all the helpful feed-forward. You all have confirmed my suspicion: that motorcycle-specific boots are my best choice. I really appreciate all the helpful and thoughtful responses!

I am in the market for a pair of riding boots and considering a pair of military/police/tactical type of boot (likely a pair of Danners, but Bates are a possibility), rather than a motorcycle-specific boot. The boots that appeal to me are 8-9" hybrid leather/nylon (at least 50% leather), with...

What a great thread! I've enjoyed following your project and really appreciate all the photos you included! Great luck with the rest of the project!

I am selling my FJR because I miss my previous bike too much (a Triumph Speed Triple). I was planning on doing some long-distance riding, but that won't be for a few years (too busy with work, etc.). It has 1,944 miles and is just "broken in;" the 600 mile Initial Service was done at a local...

Congrats and enjoy! I recently picked up my GenII (#93) and can't wait for some warm weather to ride more...

So, I am starting to get a little excited. Tomorrow I pick up my new FJR. It will be my second (I had a 2010 that I bought as a left-over in 2011 that I had to, unfortunately sell last Spring). There's a little bit of a story behind my getting her now. I had planned on getting a new FJR...

Are you on the Assistance List ;-) I'll have to check, Harrisburg would be a good place to stop... Thanks for the great tip!

Thanks everyone! +1 on all the useful and reassuring comments, and +2 on LAF's suggestion!

(Please know I have searched with multiple word combinations already on this and found nothing -- either it hasn't been mentioned or I was doing something wrong.) Is it okay to exceed 600 miles before bringing a FJR for its initial 600 mile service? And if so, by how much? I am considering a...

Congratulations on the new FJR! I have to say I am ambivalent on the question of whether it's possible that a FJR could be a first bike. But, I do not -- at all -- disagree with everyone who says you should start on something small (kinda contradicted myself there, didn't I?). I started out...

Congratulations! And thanks for your impressions.

Congratulations! Enjoy...

Thank you. I am appreciative of this learning opportunity and the way you handled this -- and this Forum.
