[QUOTE="killbilly, post: 1164568, member: 87060"] This is all seriously good and helpful stuff. I really appreciate all of the info/assistance - especially the advice about the final drive. With regard to the recall stuff, the dealer I would be purchasing the bike from is not a Yamaha dealer. They used to be, but they haven't been for a few years - which means they won't have access to the recall database. I should be able to call any local dealer and give them the VIN, though, and they would be able to tell me what, if any, recalls have been handled. Since those are not on my dime anyway, I'm not worried. It's funny how history repeats itself. 16 years ago or so, I had a Ducati M900 Monster. And I liked it okay - it was a cool bike, but I wanted something a little more comfy and...civilized. I ended up trading that for a '98 YZF600R - going from the Duck to the Thundercat was like switching to an electric bike - it was so smooth and comfortable compared to the Duck. But also a bit more...boring. And maybe that's so, but I do think the FJR is better suited for my needs these days than the Tiger. I'm sure the Tiger'll make someone happy... [/QUOTE]
