[QUOTE="xbmwscoot, post: 560673, member: 17487"] Well this sux a bit.. Just got back from my maiden voyage on the FJR...mostly loved it...learning Master Yoda riding position, etc. So the feelings were great, until I got home and did a fluid leak check, and walk-around. Seems my Oxtar boots (with hard ankle protectors) started rubbing said ankle protector on the left side panel (directly above the foot peg)...about 4 or 5 abrasions that MOSTLY rubbed out w/ polishing compound. I promptly got out the 3M paint protect film and got the left and right side panels covered where my boots are. Anyone else have this problem with boots that have ankle protectors? I have a pair of BMW boots w/o ankle protectors that, I guess, will be used a lot on the FJR now. Otherwise LOVED the engine and drivetrain. Suspension is a bit more abrupt than the BMW R1200RT's I am coming off of. I'd say...90% positive on the initial ride... anyway, any others w/ the boot abrasion problem on the painted side panels?
