Thanks for the add. 2014 ES haven’t ridden in a couple years due to heart issues and moved. I have some maintenance to do then hit the road.

BigRock,

Welcome to the sandbox! 8-) Pull up a seat, and relax. Glad to hear that you are on the mend. Welcome aboard!

Take things easy for a bit; no hurry, no worry. We may have several different fixes, if you hit a snag, so ask around. For any rider, I'd recommend fall bars and frame sliders for the FJR. One zero-speed drop could cost more to fix than the protection there, so that is cheap insurance. I'd also recommend half a tank of gas or less for a while, until you get a good handle on this beast. Good lookin' bike; I think you are gonna love it. To me, the FJR is a great mix of power, handling, and reliability.

Whereabouts do you live?
Cheers,
Red
P.S. Life is too short, and health is too valuable, to ride on cheap parade-duty tires.
Yeah, I ride motorcycles. I know why dogs put their heads out of the car windows.
Yeah, I fly hang gliders (3000 hrs.+). I know why the birds sing.
