Stiffy what?

What did i do to my fjr today?

I looked at her.....kept on looking.....got my helmet and took the 1098 out for a spin.

(Sorry but its the truth)!

My stiffy is being shipped at the moment






A stiffening bracket to help support the rear sub frame of the bike.

Brought it home!

Waxed the paint, cleaned the air filter, raised the idle from 900rpm to 1100rpm, removed the PAIR and performed the throttle return spring mod to lighten the throttle pull. I was going to perform the Barbarian mod but there's no way in heck that PIN23 is going to come out without a pin extractor. (sigh)

Changed the engine earl and shaft earl.

The Stiffy is a rear subframe support bracket that prevents failure of the rear subframe when you actually carry something in your trunk.

See Gaurald over on the other forum. They cost $100 and take about an hour to install.

Installed mcl driver foot peg lowering brackets. Snow forecast. Can't try them for afew days yet. Feel great sitting on the bike. And waxed her. Again

Went for an 80 mile ride and it was only 28°F! Man I hope spring gets here soon!

To the bike to the store to check out the bar weight ends. Opened the bike up a bit to check out the new exhaust....

Put MCL lowering pegs on both sides and the Two Brothers Black Carbons. Got some popping on decel, not sure if I'll de-pair or not. Found the highway pegs won't fit with the canyon cage. More to do next weekend.

Put the handlebars in the rear most adjustment.

I have changed the OEM windshield to Vstream. Couldn't test it yet - I must wait for better weather.

I installed 1" bar risers. So far, I like the change, but will have to wait for a seriously long ride to see if they cure the "between the shoulders" ache from previous rides.

Putting new tires on it this week.

Put on the new PR4 rear tire. Greased all of the driveshaft and u joint spines. new diff oil too. It was in the 20's this morning so I'll get to ride it after I go home for lunch. I'll ride it back to work and see how the new tires feel.

- I heard my dad say "holy Sh*t" over our intercom. -

Took the FJR out yesterday with dad to go enjoy the countryside. There was an older GSXR in front of us and I thought I'd be playful and catch up to him. I yelled "sport mode!" and kicked into said mode. Grabbed some throttle and I was off. My dad on his Honda 919 was dumbfounded that the big girl got up and hurled herself down the road that quickly. Honestly I am to everytime I switch from Touring. Lol

He said after catching up.. "So apparently you DO still have Ducati like performance, only now it's reliable." LOL
