I have been riding it since 13th Feb this year, the day I passed my CL2... Rode it up to Hatyai on 18th Feb (CNY chu yi) and came back on 20th Feb night, still in good condition now, except for a tick tick sound when at idling... I am going to MotorFactor to do the fan switch and fix up my electric horns, may change the EO and do other stuffs... Then I will ask the mechanic to check on that tick tick sound too...

 

I hope it is not the tensioner or something like this, like one of the guys posted here... if it is and I must change it, then must burn big hole in my pocket again... sighz...

So i supposed you will be updating us on what the mech got to say about the sound after your next servicing!!!

Tensioner is more on wear and tear.. in evitably muz change....

 

FJR is the best rides i rode... considering i tried a beemer and STX, ST11 etc.... itz definitely a very SPORTY tourer...

 

only minus is the cost of spare parts are abit more damaging.. but not as bad as european bike parts..

 

Ticking is inevtiable too... no tick... u have not been riding hard.... hahha!! signature sound for moz yamaha bikes i guess?

 

Sellin due to financial reasons... as of those who knowz me well... wud know my story and difficulties...

 

haha the insurance damn choor lehh... NTUC.. cost around $1.1K+ i tink after 20%NCB..... any other ins to reccomend?

 

anyone ever tried using yusa batt for their FJR?? dunoe workz or not... original yamaha batt cost around $180...

 

If I cun sell off at good price.. not point sellin siahh.... might as well keep it....

 

Ah pui and cookies... tink i will be join u guyz for the trip liao.... +sitiawan hor? but muz confirm timing lehh... moi peak is coming tink from june to sept lehh..

A tensioner is a self adjusting (spring loaded) or mechanical (bolt and lock nut) adjuster or eccentric cam type for applying pressure or force to a chain or belt to prevent slipping or jumping. They can be lever or slider or eccentric cam type. ( http://www.motovan.com/cat/2007atv_en/ht... this shows cam chain tensioner) on the drive train it is usually a slider mechanical over spring type adjuster

Looks like the bike is for cold country!!!

 

So till now any significant problem with your bike???

which big CL 2 bike, when stuck in jams will not heat up???

 

then ride a small scooter like me loh, so that u will not hate the jams in sgp...

 

people say the heat prob is a big issue for FJR, but its the same on my VFR previously... 2-3 Red lights, and the fan will be on.... same wat...??

Wow, ur post is very suspicious and very confusing!!!

 

i think Mutant's FJR was a failed-QC.

 

thus have alot of probs.... either that or he didnt really take care of the bike...

Fri nite i'm keen! But can have option to meet elsewhere???

 

there's nothing nice/good abt KKFC???

 

no Teh Tarik, no out-door seating (very limited), always jammed-packed with people, new-comers always lost bcos dunno where's the FJR group, cos too many groups there....

 

any other suggestions?? if not, probably i'll give it a missed...

Did you ever tried AIG insurance???

 

My friend riding brand new FZ1 using AIG and the insurance is around SGD800.

 

I know both bikes are different cat, buy think won't differ too much right???

[kopiosatu]

just got back from phuket.

 

so far no problems at all.

the only gripe i have is the insane amount of vibration on the handlebars which is probably apparent on all other bikes.

 

no ticking sound either. this bike isn't fit for riding in singapore at all.
