From a Mainland Kiwi in America with 40,000 miles on an 05 theres probably not much to worry about other than the items you mentioned, I would add one...
Hi Neville, By Mainland I am sure you mean the South Island. Thank you for your comments. I believe the FJR is a pretty sound motorcycle. Regards, Brian From...
Thank you Donald for your comments. perhaps the reason for the quiet site is FJR riders are out there do it and the bike just does not give many probelems. ...
Just a note to comment on the widespread geography of the FJR. I am in the US near Chicago and have an '05 with only 8,000 miles on it. It has been fantastic...
I have a 2005 FJR, and I discovered a broken fairing. I have no idea how it happened or how the heck I didn't notice it before...but on the right side, on the...
l have had some success with J-B Weld, the 2 part epoxy. Clean the heck out of the mating surfaces then apply. Let it cure for at least 24 hours. Less than...
I concur with Steve. J-B Weld epoxy has rescued me on a number of occasions. Just last week a friend's car mirror was torn off by a careless driver, breaking...
amen! I neglected some important points that Geoff illuminated in good detail. The building up of layers can be particularly effective. I also repaired a...
I disagree that it's necessarily very expensive. Yes, $100-200, but at least check it out. For instance, I've bought a bunch of pieces from cheapcycleparts....
I never have very good luck with JB weld. So I talked to my body shop guy who sold me some Duramix. a twin tube setup that mixes when pushed out of the gun....
Hi Robert, You mentioned "Fairing drop protectors", where do you get those? I have a pair of GSG Moko crash pads, is this the same thing? I was also looking...
I wish to sell my FJR1300 Top Box as it is too small for my needs, will replace it with a Ventura Pack system. It will also allow me to place the load further...
Ah yes, the T-rex frame sliders are a bit longer than the GSG Moko that I have but they can potentially protect the upper fairing of the FJR on certain crash...
Bruce Riding is dangerous, or so we keep being told. But, you don't have to accept that! The figures show bikers are 40 times more likely to be killed on the...
Can we take this stuff somewhere else? "Life is an adventure; Meant to be ridden on two wheels, and savored over a good cuppa coffee!" Yerington, NV 2008...
Hey Alec, your rant is falling on deaf ears. Bruce has be spamming and harvesting E-mails (especially on the LD list). I banned him from all my list. Best bet...
To LDR Legend Tom "Catfish" Bisagni: Once again a whiney LDRiders List Lemming falsely accuses me of being a "spammer". As I have been attacked in this group,...
Another list turned to shit because of politics... "Life is an adventure; Meant to be ridden on two wheels, and savored over a good cuppa coffee!" Yerington,...
We are seeking bikers to ride with, and take to biker rally. Now, lots of bikers joined. Many biker girls, boys, women and men gather here. If you want to join...
can we shit-can this jackwipe? ... From: tony95754 <tony95754@...> Subject: [Yamaha FJR1300 Club] Bikers, are you seeking local biker girls to ride with?...
Hi Ken, Sorry for my late response but I have been busy trying to figure what I will do. I have finally decided to get a FJR1300AE. So, if I can sell mine...
Robert, After reviewing the posts below, I noticed that there wasn't any mention of ABS. :-( I am looking for a ABS unit. After riding for 130,000 miles...
