[QUOTE="painman, post: 1087481, member: 1114"] Welcome to the fold Steve. IMO the FJR is the best bike buying decision I've made even with all the recalls and quirks. I'm sure you will enjoy this fine model of super sport touring motorcycle. To me this bike is bullet proof and this is definitely backed up by our good members here that have put their bikes through some very tough endurance riding like the Iron Butt Ride with some awesome results! I concur with the G2 throttle and taking as much slack out of the throttle cables as possible for smoothness. While I have never had a power commander my 06 runs smooth now with the recalls and the new ECU. Also I have done the spring un-wind mod which helped greatly on the early models as well. The only other recommendation I have is on the 06 models (maybe early numbers only?), which mine is, is that the stock window was made of a plastic that is way too soft and prone to scratch easily. I bought a window off a 09 from one of our good members here on the forum that is way better than the original when I first bought the bike. I like the stock window for our hot summers here. Anyway, good luck with the new bike and may she put many miles and smiles with you in the future. Take care, pm. [/QUOTE]
