    2022 FJR?

    I'll never buy another Suzuki. They use every excuse NOT to honor their warranty. Also, shifting is substandard.

    My 2007 FJR with 110,000 miles and still going strong

    Have your valves ever required adjustment, and if so, were they tight or loose?

    Es Model worth the extra money?

    I'm really surprised that nobody else has brought this up. Solo or 2-up, stopping, even from low speed, results in significant dive. I guess I will go through the settings. If they don't help, perhaps I will go to my dealer to be certain there isn't something wrong.

    Es Model worth the extra money?

    So, you said outside of the ES system. Are there firmer progressive rate springs for the ES? Whenever I brake, I get excessive dive AND "SLOP"unless I set the system to Hard, and that just makes the ride harsh. Perhaps I can use a PVC spacer like we do on our Gen 1 VMaxes?

    Has everyone posted photos and details about your FJR "boat"?

    That must be what admin is talking 'bout!

    Has everyone posted photos and details about your FJR "boat"?

    Uh-oh, someone got out of bed on the wrong foot today! Lighten up, life is short. Maybe it's time for some wind therapy!

    It sucks when someone confuses you with someone else. 😜

    Has everyone posted photos and details about your FJR "boat"?

    I'm sure you have all seen the mass email from "Admin*. If you haven't, I have pasted it below. Is it really that difficult for VerticalScope to differentiate between a motorcycle & a boat, and take 4 seconds to modify their generic mass email? It "really" makes one feel that they appreciate...

    Es Model worth the extra money?

    I have a '16ES, and I have been noting the the fork preload is sadly lacking on soft and standard. I would like to start by adjusting the fork preload alone if at all possible. I saw the Chart Fred(?) posted, but I have not broken out the owners or service manual to figure out how. (It was...

    Have you tried the Calimoto app?

    I too run Android, and will try scenic if and when it becomes available as an Android app. In the meantime, I am communicating with the Calimoto folks about some issues and desires. I posted the following review: Great idea, needs some work. Tried Calimoto 3 days. Good, & bad. -Address...

    Waterproof Gloves

    I had the exact same experience.

    Have you tried the Calimoto app?

    Correction: $59.99/year, $8.49/week I guess the $8.50 fee is good to test it, but useless for longer periods of time (unless you have deep pockets!)

    Have you tried the Calimoto app?

    I searched the forum, and I only found 1 reference to calimoto. It is a "windy road finder" app. The pro version costs over $50/year, but the free version is nice, despite the many limitations. It is available in the Apple App Store, and the Android Play Store. You can put in a destination...

    End of an ERA

    I'm glad to hear you are not giving up on riding. I hope the new bike brings you a lot of joy. Concerning knees, I've put off replacing mine for 15 years, but I don't think I can put it off much longer. After several months of rehab, how was it riding? Any significant issues? Thanks, and...

    Waterproof Gloves

    I also bought Klims, with no insulation in the palms. They are great until it gets very cold, at which point I break out my heated gloves.

    New Cannonball Run record - on FJR1300

    Perhaps he had highly oxidative urine from the road tube he fashioned! Seriously, though, it was not the middle of summer when hot roads might have contributed, and 7 gallons in the auxiliary tank is less than 40 pounds.  It looks like he also has a Frankentank, but that still does not add a...

    New Cannonball Run record - on FJR1300

    I'm hoping this isnt a repost of an old topic.  I searched the forum and it does not appear to be. https://www.roadandtrack.com/news/a38053459/new-cross-country-cannonball-motorcycle-record/

    S O L D S O L D Garmin Zumo 665, with lifetime maps, 8gb SD card, and base & 12V power supply

    You can change the splash screen, I believe.  I know I used to do this on my automotive Garmin's.

    Are these 1st or 2nd gen? I need to go check out dimensions, but I am possibly interested in the smallest ones. Thank you!
