Hello! Sold all my bikes (Beemers) when I moved from M/C paradise (BC) to SK - where the twisties are few and very.far.between (whaaa!). I'm a boomer and though older than dirt, my riding days aren't over! Just bought (2 days ago) a 2005 FJR w/ABS. So many scratches on the Galaxy Blue paint - sinners! But it runs pretty fine. Idle is too high (about 1200-1500). And I gotta check what gen of CCT I have (scared to look!). Only 33K kms on this one so she's just broken in. It has the National touring windshield which works for me (I like an open-faced helmet). Stock grips need changing as does the seat. So what oil should I put in it? Lol - seriously, will Motul disable my clutch? The Owner's Manual has some scary warnings about the oil (and tires!). As if you couldn't run Pirelli 'Angels' on this rocket ship!
I welcome any and all feedback - 35 years of Boilermaking (finally made it to the Big R) - I've pretty much heard too much!
Hope to have a long and fun relationship with this beauty, my first Yamaha. Hope not to P/O anyone off on this forum (old-man-syndrome)...at least you'll never have to sniff my farts! :wink2:
Shiny side up! Remember, everyone else on the road 'might be' trying to hurt you!
