    2008 FJR, what's it worth ?

    Thinking about selling my FJR since I just haven't had much time to ride it, (work, track days and racing and a V Strom in the garage also.) It's a black 2008 model I bought used, 12,000 miles, not a mark on it, all services, oil changes etc. done by me. Sweet bike that I just don't have time...

    ScrapedUp, no I don't have an air vest just too much fat !! Loll!! My Fieldsheer suit has a foam hump in it and I wear an Alpinestars back protector. Alpinestars gloves and boots and an Arai helmet. I always wear good gear, the best I can afford street or track.

    You're right nothing like riding on the track to improve riding skills. I've got a spare bike I bought with a salvage title for 500 bucks so I've got plenty of spares. I'm probably going to try running Ameteur class again this year and get my license again. Been running 8-12 track days a year...

    Looking at a used 08, got a question about brakes

    Ok, sorry I haven't been back to put up a picture yet but the weather has been pretty nice in KC so I've been riding it ! Here she is at home in my shop. When I get the time and $ I want to add some Two Brothers carbon cans with the P1X tips and some sort of topcase. She runs like a top and...

    Looking at a used 08, got a question about brakes

    Ok, they bled the brakes and they work great now like they should . I picked the bike up today and got the title and paperwork. I stopped at my local Yamaha dealer who are a very good long time dealer. The service manager ran the VIN through to check if the recalls had been done. The...

    Looking at a used 08, got a question about brakes

    Ok, thanks, I didn't feel the fronts working when applying the rear brake. The front brakes were strong and solid. Bike ran great and smooth on my 20 mile or so test ride. I told them I thought the rear brakes needed bleeding and they were going to look at it tomorrow. I just wanted to make...

    Hello, I'm considering trading in my KTM Superduke for an 08 FJR in black. The bike has 9900 miles on it and is clean as can be, I test rode it today and it runs and handles great!! The only issue I can find is that the rear brake is like a sponge and has no stopping power at all it seems...
