    Sold Found 2014 right side exhaust

    I have a pair of nearly new pipes with less than 5 miles on them. I bought my 2014 new, test rode the bike, then swapped them out with my Holeshots (off my '07) immediately the day I got home. They were only on the bike for the test ride at the dealership. I'm 90 mins north of Atlanta. I'd like...

    Clutch Slipping!?

    At about 60,000 miles I began having clutch issues on my 2007 and the clutch handle assembly was the problem. Replaced it and that fixed it. This may not be related to your issue but you may want to inspect yours to ensure it's still in satisfactory condition.

    Clutch Problem

    Had exact same issue on my 07. Replaced the handle and the soft brass bushing and it totally fixed it.

    2007 Black Cherry

    I put 80,000 miles on a 2007 before selling it and getting a 2014. Then I put almost 30k on it. The FJR is a powerhouse machine but yet so elegant and refined. I've done a number of trips around the US on FJRs and, you're right, it is very therapeutic! My one day distance record was 1083 miles...

    Flying To St. Louis Tomorrow

    I have tried two different aftermarket seats but I'm fine with the factory seat. I have done several 1000+ mile days on the stock seat - no complaints here.

    The Other Shoe Has Dropped

    I have suffered at one time or another for ignoring these minor PMs.

    EOM 2018 - Maggie Valley, NC - September 20-23, 2018

    Looks like everything is open in the area with the exception of the Blue Ridge Parkway (which they closed last week preemptively). I do not think they were hit with too much wind/rain in the area so I would not be surprised to see the parkway reopened before Friday. To check and see if it...

    We don't know that yet. I am not canceling until we know what happens. 72 hours notice is cutoff I believe.

    EOM 2018 - Maggie Valley, NC - September 20-23, 2018

    Unfortunately the mountains handle flooding and high winds very differently than places like Tampa. I've seen first hand how regular storms impact the southern Appalachians and sometimes it ain't pretty. It is not unusual to see sections of mountain roadways closed for months after a big storm...

    EOM 2018 - Maggie Valley, NC - September 20-23, 2018

    Debbie Downer checking in ... I hope this doesn't hold but it looks like chances just shot up we could have some weather issues in western NC next week. Things have just this evening. Video summary: the weather models are shifting to put the track right over Asheville/Maggie Valley Sunday and...

    Garauld Hiway Peg Mounting Plates

    Pictures are up near top of this page. Very worthwhile (esp on long trips). You will get immediate relief from the engine heat that is directed at the factory foot pegs. And it's nice just to change positions on long rides. Well made. Zero issues in 2 years. .

    Sport Touring on a ZX1400R ABS

    Thanks for the warm welcome! I will post back as I learn more about this machine. The 2bros were installed on it when I got it and I love the sound. Nice growl/snarl when you get down on it. I put two brand new Michelin PR4s on it, changed the oil, and now I am wiring in all my electronics...

    Sport Touring on a ZX1400R ABS

    Sorry to keep this old thread alive! But I recently picked up a low-miles 2014 ZX14R in hopes of outfitting it for sport touring to replace the FJR. What a beast of a bike. First time I got off it I said: "whoo hoo! sledge hammer!" What power this thing has. And it's so docile up to about 6,000...

    FJRF011: Fast Starter Syndrome

    I know it's an old thread but I might as well chime to thank you folks for helping me get my 2014 Gen 3 running, and to let the world know that Gen 3's are doing this too Background: Did a 5,000 mile trip out west about 4 weeks ago. No trouble entire trip. The day after I got home I hosed her...
