    Wrist pain after 3 hours

    If you want some "expert" advise from this group, have someone take a picture of you on the bike, hands in your current riding position, feet up on the front pegs(center stand). Take the picture from the side about shoulder high. Make sure you are extending your hands/fingers over the levers...

    The WHY NOT 2023 is a reality!

    Great Rally and so nice to meet some of the FJR group. Jeff and I are up in Missoula and heading back down to Ventura, CA this morning. So many great roads out here! We look forward to future events next year! Thanks JP and Mel.

    FJR Forum Decal design

    I think most people have the same initial thought. Lose the top box. No need for the WWW. Front angled view would look more interesting. If side view is kept, not sure side stand is necessary. Bags do not look quite right. I think the shadowing of the raised area makes them look recessed...

    The WHY NOT 2023 is a reality!

    Just Booked a room at the Hotel! Will be planning to come with my riding buddy, Jeff Bertrand. We are good friends with AdamK, but he might not be willing to admit that! I'll be on my 2016FJR, Jeff will be on his Super Tenere.

    Could be Epic

    Why does it seem like the girl with the drink in her hand is about to say: "Here, hold my beer."

    Oil filter

    Man, for $81 that wrench should drain the old oil, replace the filter, and pour the new oil in while you sip a beer and watch!

    FJR1300 To Be Retired

    I was just at a Southern California Dealer today and asked him about the FJR being discontinued and he said he has the bike still listed for orders for 2023. He did not think it was being discontinued yet at least in the states. He has also heard the rumors, but felt they were wrong. He has...

    Sold SOLD! Aerostich Darien Pants Size 36

    Aerostich Darien Pants Grey/Green color, Size 36 in great condition. I bought these from EBAY to try for a few rides to see if I liked the 2 piece approach and decided to stay with the 1 piece suit. Pants are clean and all velcro/zippers work perfectly. They come with the standard knee pads...

    Serviced Gen 3 ABS System - Contaminated Fluid Purged

    The dark fluid is pretty common when you haven't changed the fluid regularly or failed to activate the ABS during the regular maintenance fluid change. It evidently does not get bled out of the ABS parts of the system very well even though you get clear fluid coming out of the brake calipers...

    2022 FJR?

    I thought we were talking about the Suzuki GSX S1000GT ??? That is the bike I was commenting on!

    2022 FJR?

    Saw that bike at the Motorcycle show in November in Southern California. Nice bike, lots of power, but the bike has relatively extreme seating position for me and would not be comfortable on long hauls without a lot of ergo changes. Very little could be done to change the more extreme peg...

    FJRF013.2: Recall ECU Reprogram (Post Trans Recall) (2016-2021)

    I can definitely confirm that some shops don't do the ECU flash after the gear replacement! I had mine done in February and it was the first FJR for this dealer to do the recall. Here is part of an email to another FJR owner I had at the time. This was after the bike was reassembled (twice...

    2016 was a good year...

    Hi everyone! I originally joined in 2016 the year I purchased a new 2016 FJR ES model here in Southern California. The picture shows both my new 2016 FJR and my old 2004 ST1300A I had put over 100K miles on and sold later. Originally I questioned my sanity buying another dark blue sport...

    2016 FJR1300A Check Engine Light On

    The bike was back to the dealer the day I discovered the pool of brake fluid. I was so pissed with them the owner called me to assure me they were taking all this very seriously and he was going to get things fixed. He ended up replacing the Front wheel because it had a nick in the rim, but...

    2016 FJR1300A Check Engine Light On

    Well, I can confirm NTXFJR's Ignition key CEL code trigger! So I go to get on the bike after work. Turn the key and the dash lights come up normally. Crank the engine over a few times and notice it doesn't start up immediately like it normally does. Try it once more and then notice the key...
