    buying high mileage FJR

    For me, I’m thinking 260k miles is the point of replacing. My ‘05 had 262k and my ‘08 had 265k. Both were fixable, but I had already had replacements in the garage. The average rider will not even consider the bike in question. Give the salesman your contact and let him sit on the bike awhile...

    Hit this milestone today on the ‘08. Seems random, but it is the ‘05s final OD reading when I decided to part it out.

    FJR Mileage Milestones

    Wow, I have closed some gap between our bikes. Mine has 3,700 to go now. If I end up doing another ride that I am considering, the ‘08 will be closing in on my ‘05’s final mileage.

    What is her OD at now? I ask because I am about 21k short on my ‘08. I’ll be in Cali again in July, but quite a bit south of you.

    Saturday I finally spooned on a car tire. I am pleasantly surprised at the handling.

    FJR Mileage Milestones

    I had cooling issues last year and because of the type of ride that I was attempting I didn’t have time to sort it out. Taken care of now (Cracked reservoir, broken water pump return piece, and leaking thermostat seal) As far as valve checks? I am a bit overdue on my 2nd check... I’ve had only...

    FJR Mileage Milestones

    I have not retired yet. I road the 124k while working full time. Most of the riding were BBGs (1500 miles in 24 hours) at least 1 every weekend. I can say that much of it was riding to be riding. When I retire, I would like to enjoy more backroads and stop a little more often.😌

    Display Question

    I actually need it to happen on the FJR display. An upcoming photo of the OD that I took when I hit it with the ‘05.

    Display Question

    I have a ‘08 FJR (Gen 2) Is there anyway possible to get the display to show the temperature gauge In Celsius and have the odometer display remain in miles? If so, How?

    FJR Mileage Milestones

       Well I hit this mark on my ‘08 today. Needless to say that my ‘08 is up and running again. I have about 42k to go to match my ‘05’s output. Meanwhile my ‘18 is collecting dust and my ‘09 may go up for sale shortly.

    FJR Mileage Milestones

    Congrats !!! Quite the accomplishment ! I was just working on the ‘08 in the garage, and yes, you beat me to it. I have 217k on the ‘08, but only 193k are mine.  My goal was to put 250k on 4 different FJR Gens. Too bad I might have to use the mileage from the ‘09 to accomplish this. i do...
