    Pros/Cons of the 6th gear?

    There's no need for the 6th gear, but no downside to it.  If you're looking to upgrade for it, its not needed.  On paper it sounded good and I know I'd regret it if I didn't have it as the grass is always greener.  However, having it I rarely use it.  It's basically an overdrive gear to lower...

    :..Where did you buy your FJR - Dealer with best pricing..:

    I got such a good deal, my dealer went out of business.  I kid but, they really did go out of business so no help here.  By the way, once  you get your FJR we need to go ride brother hANNAbONE!  It's been a year since the Un.

    2018 FJR Details Released

    I kinda like the matte blue. But not too keen on the mix n match of matt black frame and rear set mixed with other silver parts. Do all the extra parts matte black or leave them silver like the previous blue. Seems like a hodgepodge of parts. Also not keen on the black side body panels under...

    Corbin Seat

    I also did the ride in seat build at Corbin and am very happy with it. The stock seat was unbearable. I've done 8-12 hours days on the Corbin seat no problem. They give you the opportunity to ride on the seat a little before they cover it. Definitely take advantage of that and keep doing it...

    Tire Pressure Monitor

    Thanks for posting this. I hadn't seen this brand yet. Seems closest to what I was looking for. Having had OEM TPMS for the past 10 years on previous bikes, I've been missing the piece of mind on my FJR of knowing what my tires are doing when I'm rolling. Having had a tire go flat 2 up at 80...

    E-Mail from Aerostitch

    Got the email and had exactly the same thoughts. Also made me wonder if he's hurting financially. Seems like the company has changed a bit in the last few years and maybe he's just looking to go in a different direction or get out.

    Front vs Rear Tire Wear

    With only 3500 miles on my 16 ES so far and on the OEM tires, the rear tire is wearing significantly faster than the front. Must be the magical FJR motor and right wrist. Since you mentioned past experience on BMW's I'll include mine as well. On my K12GT with PR4's I was seeing pretty even...

    Is Cruise Control Consistent

    Same here. So far I've only seen it vary by 2 mph uphill and 1 mph downhill.

    Yamaha #1 in Reliability

    I resemble your remark. My 07 GT started breaking down more and more. Left me stranded .... again and gave up on it. Lovin my FJR replacement!

    Clever idea from Shad

    Great idea. The only thing I worry about is adding even more stress to the rear subframe that is already having issues. I wonder if the Shad mounting hardware somehow reinforces it like the Givi mount seems to. Or is it like the OEM top case where you can mount the top case or side bags, but...
