Hi, what is the indication whereby the rear shock is faulty? Btw how much you gotten your ohlin? Good?

Leakage of suspension fluid is one of the indication and/or if you find the shock getting softer even after setting the 'hardness' to max.

 

I got it from Sportin Motors at S$1800 but gotta wait for the shipment cos they dun carry ready stock. It's GREAT! More stability during hard braking and at high speed. Even with pillion on board, you wun find the rear sinking down. No regrets.

 

Fully adjustable and rebuildable unlike OEM ones. Rebuilding OEM shocks wun be 100%.

 

OEM shock cost around $1200 that time, so might as well add another $600 for a good one if you intend to keep the babe for long. Even if sell off the bike, the shock can be resaled with value, esp if pushing in to motodiam. What for let the shop have it, might as well remove it and offer it to fellow FJRians.

(Ps: The motodiam can have the leaking shock back. Haha..)

 

You also can consider other brands like Penske and Bitubo. Slightly cheaper. But performance wise, I also not sure.

word of advise to u gelu rider is to get use to the ride first... u r riding a beast.. heheh

Remember the very first time I ride on this bike and open the throttle, wow!!!

My body was actually being pull by the handle bar, so scary, not use to the power

Takes a while to get use to it and then loves it so much

Dear All,

 

I've traded-in my FJR for a Silverwing400.

Now I'm demoted to associate member liao.

Decided to change cos hardly got chance to tour.

Miss the power of FJR already.

 

 

BTW, I still have a spare brake lever & a spare clutch lever.

Pls PM me if you're interested to buy over.

 

Ride safely.

No diff in power watsoever.. Just reuseable. OEM filter cost $40 apiece.

 

Some riders feel that K&N filter doesnt filter as well as OEM filter. So, up to you.

Hey Guys,

They have L,XL & 3L size.

Just bought a 3L size bike cover

[DiabolicZero]

Bro, how different is "Rainmate" as compared to LAB ones?

[ReBornBikeR]

This cover can be use to cover bike immediately,

never buy LAB type before, can't compare, sorry

Ya...

& my legs are so short that I've to come down to push the FJR everytime...

[seahmh]

I bought my bike cover from LAB when I got my Fabulous-Joy-Ride in Feb this year...

 

The cover can be used to cover the bike immediately after I parked my bike on main-stand while the whole bike is still hot. The cover is okay lei...
