kieefjr is back on a FJR.
I wasn’t a huge influence or poster but I enjoyed the comments, information and hit a few rallies.
Anyway my Super Tenere days are over, just to too dang tall. Even after lowering I kept getting into situations that were “uncomfortable”. Great bike and sweet motor so I hope the new owner really enjoys it more than I did.
Looks like I’m off to a good start for the new year because this new owner happened to have a 2016 FJR for sell and was looking for an ST.
I posted an ad on TN’s CL as a feeler for interest on my ST and this FJR owner from FL saw it and gave me a call.
We completed the deal today.
I always liked blue FJR’s but I seldom saw used 2016’s coming up for sale within my area. I was also never up to crossing state lines to find one but this guy was in his search for a ST.
This bike has a lot of goodies on it and slick as a pin.
Questions, since be been out of the fray for a while.
1. I’m aware of the tranny recall as of now it doesn’t have a VIN# with the soft 2nd gear If it does end up on the recall, I’ll deal with it.
2. Is the 2016 considered a Genlll or GenlV or a Genlllss which I advocated for with no luck.
3. Any issues with these later models?
4. Any mods that are essential? Isn’t the seat supposed to better than previous years? Probably irrelevant but curious if some are living with it and of course mods are personal.
I did have a 2013 for a short while but at the time I had back issues and I never took the time to make it fit me like my 2005 model did. Since I had back surgery las year I’m hoping I’ll have success setting this bike up.
Looking forward to enjoying my new to me FJR and watching this forum.
