I just got back from Germany, training active Army soldiers (91B's) in Wheeled vehicle recovery. They all look like that, especially the really hot waitress (sorry, the pic is on my iphone and I can't get it to talk to windows) at the ice cream shop right across from the cathedral in...

Changed the oil... HOLY COW!! According to my maintenance log it was 8000 miles ago. OOPS. I really got to keep up on this better.

I am assumeing it is the truck version if that is the two choices. all I know about it is it is a 205 50/17. It was not particularly stiff in the sidewall.

All right, I have used the search and looked through quite a few posts. I have an extra wheel and am ready to put a car tire on for the commuting miles. (with the option to throw on the PR4 for fun riding) I am looking at the (Bridgestone or Michelin) Ecopia. Has anyone used one of these? Thanks

What SLK50vsaid on the handling and pegs. I got 12500 out of my last one, plus the 5% offset to the odometer due to the additional size.

I got my KIDS to wash it for me!!

Check the tire pressure. That is the one thing I have personally found that will induce or cure front end wobble.

Really Bust, it is much easier and less expensive to get your attention your normal way, hanging out and making derogatory crass comments on the forum. Get well soon ya FUK!!

If unused rubber were the overriding issue, I would have to be a darksider. I don't care what anyone says. I have used them for the last 42,000 miles. I found the FJR's peg/ground clearance to be substantially less than on my under powered, vibrating, rough 1993 K100RS. In fact, I found the...

I own an 03 with 140,250 miles on it. What do you mean, "opened up a few areas"? This is a counter-intuitive fact; to make an FJR run "cooler" (meaning cooler to you) you actually close up a bunch of areas. Specifically, the areas between the fairing and the frame/engine. The hot air tends...

Michelin PR4. The reason is the type of riding. Almost all slab, almost all commute. 57 miles one way, every day. The pavment is very smooth and not very abrasive. When I go up and down 58 or other twisty favorites, I can almost see the wear changing every 50 miles or so, lots of chip-seal...

I am close. My friend has an extra rear wheel and I have a motorcycle shop that will put it on. Then I can switch back and forth as needed. I just need to figure out which tire, but that is a question for another thread.

1. it reduces the speedo error 2. it lasts AT LEAST the same percentage longer as is its circumference is larger 3. the additional width keeps the footpegs just a little higher reducing dragging when I do canyon carve (which I like, I just have a hard time finding to do,this part of 58&229 is...

Just mounted my fourth. I got 13,032 miles out of this one. I like the way they help to prevent dragging footpegs.

I kinda liked it. The perfect imperfect. He rides crazy off road like I ride. Roughly.

First, rode hard up 58 to 229, then turned around and went back, even toughed a footpeg down. Used some of my unused side rubber. -Then- Got a new 190/55 PR4 put on. Cost 243.52. Last one lasted 13,032 miles, almost all slab.

I rode it. (daily thing) To Bakersfield. (yuk) To help my brother with his Saturn. (glad I could help) On Highway 58 BOTH ways. (OH YEAH!)

So, you are advocating road rage highway shootings on the forum...? Welcome back Bust.

Rode it to work today. HOLY COW the 'targeting computer' windshield is WAY too small for 35 degree 56 mile ride to work without extra insulation.

Took off the V-Stream riot shield and installed the extra short original '02 targeting computer. Didn't like the shape pulled the tuning block, didn't like the angle installed some improvised spacers (nuts) under the support frame, didn't change it enough, put the tuning block back in.
