Introductions / Re: Hi from Kent

Hey I now own a Blue 2005 Yamaha FJR1300 with 34774 miles and tip-over scratches on the right side.
Seems solid and smooth up to about 80mph. Gets buzzy in the 100 to 120 range but engine still sounds good. All gears are smooth.
Seems to have somewhat of an oversteer but feels planted in corners. My last 40,000 miles are on a WR250 so it feels different but not bad. I tend to adjust to bikes rather than try to adjust the bikes to me. It looks like the previous owner put spacers on that have the bars up and back a few inches.
I wouldn't mind switching with another FJR owner on a ride sometime to compare the sound and feel.
I'm riding to Knapp, WI via and hour of back roads on Friday if anyone wants to join up.
Later,
Kent
