Ray, as you know, I have the RSV gears in my FD. As you also know the standard FD gears in ALL FJR's are 9/33 for a ratio of 3.66 and the RSV gears are 10/33 for a FD ratio of 3.30, about 10% higher.

The biggest problem [other than a lower 1/4 mile ET, which isn't a problem for me, LOL} Is that first gear becomes 10% higher, which makes for a lot of clutch slipping when you have a passenger and a trailer and you're at a stop sign on a hill.

This new FD makes my FJR turn 2939 at 60mph, and the six gear FJR's turns 2896 at 60mph which is what I was going for.

I noticed that the six gear FJR's INCREASED the first gear ratio slightly over the 5 speed Gen. 2. My question to you is, {and I tried like **** to do this math but am not smart enough to do it}. I know the ratio in first gear was 10.66 in the five speed and a slightly lower 10.52 in the six speed, I want to know what the first gear ratio is in my FJR with the 10/33 FD gears? If you would.

Thanks in advance. Phil

The biggest benefit I see is the cold air/rain deflection. The fairings have foam bits on the inside to block air and channel it through the rad. If you feel heat, you'll only get a tad, and the rest exits down below. Gen3 got a couple of new openings at the bottom, which will keep your feet warmer in the cooler stuff, and unfortunately, even warmer in the hot stuff. I h aven't had time yet to see how the Gen3 panels go out 20mm, but soon.

After begin reminded of how temperamental AE's can be, I'm currently open to both.

Seems fair but I still feel like I'd be paying too much. Guess I'm just cheap.
