    Does the FJR have a low first gear at all?

    Probably a dumb question but I’m considering coming back to an FJR after years of owning and riding BMW’s.  Since I sold my last 2 FJR’s I’ve been involved with working as a MotoRef for USA Cycling and also working some of the largest Pro Cycling Races in the USA for the past 6 years.  One of...

    2008 Yamaha FJR 1300AE Properly Farkled (Lots of Pics)

    Was hoping this was gonna be a bike I would keep for along time but after riding it for awhile I have decided to part with it.

    My FJR might be short lived

    While without a doubt the FJR is an amazing machine it might be short lived for me.. I have tried pretty much everything and spent a bunch of money to make my 08 1300AE comfy for me but after about 250 miles or so my back and neck are screaming at me. At 6'5 and 250lbs I just can't seem to...

    Bought a used FJR that came with a color matched Corbin Smuggler. The bike I bought is an 08AE but I believe the 09 was the same color for the AE model. This thing looks like it was never used. Not a scratch on it. New they will set you back $799 plus shipping. Hoping to get $600 shipped...

    Anyone near St. George Utah wanna install an Audiovox Cruise for me?

    I bought an 08 AE and would love to put a Cruise control on it. I don't think I have the mechanical ability to do it. Really wish I did but am almost certain I would be over my head. I would be willing to ride somewhere for the day and help someone willing that wants to make a little extra...

    What is your GPS of choice?

    Lots of choices out there for GPS units for our bikes. I had a Montana on my KTM Adv but want to get something a little more bike specific. What is your GPS of choice? Are the Zumo's worth the cost or is it better to just buy a Garmin car unit. I have seen a few of these on bikes before. I...

    Best place to buy a Givi Top Case

    Been looking around on the Internet looking at the Givi E55 Top case. Need something big and I believe this is about as big as you can get for the FJR. Anyone seen any good deals on them? Also seems like I have read not to buy the backrest for the Givi. Is this correct. Seems like some...

    Who makes this luggage rack for an FJR?

    I had this rear luggage rack on my last FJR that I believe was made by Premier Cycle. It appears Premier is going out of business and it doesn't show them as even ever selling them. Wondering if I may have bought it from someone else online. Anyone recognize and know where I could pick one of...

    Thinking of coming back to an FJR.... What do ya think?

    So I owned an 07 AE model that I bought new in 08 as a leftover and rode it for about 6 months and sold it because I had this vision of being this incredible adventure rider and doing these amazing off road adventures all over the states. So I sold the AE and bought a GSA. Loved the GSA on the...
