[QUOTE="Cyclepath, post: 1422424, member: 78971"] Welcome to the world of the Gen1 mranalli ! Yes, she'll roast your 'nads a bit on the hot days, but as already stated here, she'll keep you warmer on days when you might instead start getting concerned about the level of grip your tires have on cold pavement (!). I put an aftermarket rear shock on mine, and freshened the forks with new progressive springs a few years ago. Seats, windshields, alternate luggage, electrical accessory farkles, Barbarian jumper mod, it's all been a part of ownership. I bought my Gen1 used 7 years ago when she had about 20K miles on the dial, and now with over 80K miles, still has enough grunt, agility, and reliability to keep the smile on my face. Review the rich set of reference info + first person accounts of others' experiences you'll find here, and I'm confident you'll thoroughly enjoy your FJR for a long time. BTW, I've been using Shell Rotella T6 5w40 full synthetic for about the last 6 years. [/QUOTE]
