Manufacturers like to be very careful in case they get sued for not telling you that something may not be safe.

 

If a top box could make the bike unstable a passenger would be far worse!

yes,i fully agree with u on sengkwang price nowadays, really duno how they derive the prices sometimes, cos price of metal only goes up by 40%, but the price they quote usually much much more then 40%

i guess is because he do not have competitors for biking market..Mayb that's why he takes advantage of it.Is there any other metal/stainless steel/ shop doing bike fabrications?

is only recommendation by Yamaha. follow or not is up to the owner.

anyway any rider can try to ride a FJR with top box & 2 side box. But personally i think it shouldn't for hi-speed riding.

Yup, no high speed riding with top box. I've tried the most 140 - 160km/hr should be safe/comfort highway traveling speed. Any speed faster not stable. The handle will start to wobble.

Thanks. Ok, I understand now. It is okay to put top rear box. Just take it out and travel with only the two side boxes when we go for high speed travelling.... Right??

[Cybernation]

Yup..

DurianS... Yum Yum! Like e tastes, dislike e smell...

 

Enjoy ur wkends FJRians!

[mutant_sheep]

any1 attempting having a ride to Mersing is not advisable

the road condition is getting worse, due to mud after flood.

& there is a bridge have been destroy by flood, now is under rebuilt.

[nkan0]

I'm keen to do a Day-Ride to say.... Malacca???

 

BUt will not prefer a Sun, cos that place always tends to jam like crazy on a Sun...

[DiabolicZero]

Heyz guys, just curious which grade you feed your baby with.

[ashenZ]

i die die stick by 10w40......

 

2brands i tink i s good...

 

1.) Royal Purple Maxcycle 10w40 (too bad it onli come in quarts)

 

2.) Maxima Ultra 10w40 (not mani place hv this grade.. usual is 15w50)

 

w50 grade i feel is to sluggish n thick... hotter for me n slower acceleration... muz drag mre to pick up...

 

2 cents worth!

[DiabolicZero]

Pai say I mean the petrol grade

[mutant_sheep]

cheeko: that1 is wildcat izzit?

 

Ashenz: u alwys want royal purple, think sooner or later ur good good fren will bring in. as he is now bringing in the Delphi

 

Casper4XXX: don't blame Ashenz, he is always like that.. as 4 me, i always pump m'sia Petronas, but later on found that M'sia Esso is more powerful. but yet the best is the Singapore Caltex Techcron Platinum..but 1 liter is 2dollar+

[DiabolicZero]

Reason why I'm asking bout the petrol grade is becos wondering if higher octane level is required for our bikes. Owner manual says 95 but in thailand where got 95? Then how? What are the effects if we use lower octane etc blah blah blah...

Can ar... me go to and fro thailand twice liaoz my bike still running fine.. 92 also can...that time saw 1 ang mo also go up and he said he never pump more den 92 even in sg. The bike also dun look/sound like it's dead when i was beside him...

[nkan0]

Ya, mine's working perfectly too .... anyway, i think its seriously pointless to pump more than '95' for our bikes.... unless u intent to try top-speed all the way on the NSH....?? jus change to Castrol 10W50 yesterday.... feels good...

[fatherrider]

Maybe once in a while pump spore vpower to clear off all the stubborn carbon deposits. Vpower rocks!

Hi guys, a few qns to consult the owners here with your experience on the fjr.

 

1) any one know of any 2nd hand headlight protectors from anyone, and what's the price for a new set, and from where? asking for a 01' model anyway

 

2) from i what know, the stock resin rack will have to be removed and replaced by another rack if i intend to fix a rear box (some call it top box), depending on which brand u are getting. Assuming that i intend to put a typical Givi rear box o nthe fjr, any recommendations on who i can go to ( other than sengkwang-mura?

 

 

appreciate any replies man.

ventura comes as one piece.

 

motovation two piece. Used to be $45 per set but now dunno whether got become cheaper. U can find their contact in the advertisment board i think.

 

U can get the givi rear rack specially for FJR from chiap lee. About $220. Den the base plate at $75. But if you buy as a set can get $30-$40 discount.

 

Yamaha rack is $380 and box is $1200.
