If I ride casual, I've seen 400km+ from full tank to just touching reserve, keeping revs at about 4K and working the gears, highway routes mainly. If the right wrist gets carried away, you can take away about a hundred from that. Hard to gauge milage really, traffic, route type, bike condition and riding styles all contribute to it.

hmmmzzz fjr thread seems kinda silent lateli.... moi fren juz bot a fjr.... is der any essentials accessories dat he shud be needing...

 

any old birds can advise???

[Kazuma]

what is the price for a new FJR and how many litre is a full tank

[FJR-vincent]

Omnilash, i am quite surprised even your bad days mileage is much higher that my best days. My full tank can only fetch me max 310km before the fuel indicator starts blinking. Is there something I did/did not do that may reduced my mileage? Can anyone help me out on this?

U cannot use the fuel meter to gauge.. Its not very accurate..

Mine oso started blinking sometimes at 280Km.. After warm up, it might increase by 1 or 2 gauge..

 

U should calculate base on how much fuel u top up...

[ashenZ]

u mean to say... the mileage meter in FJR is inaccurate??? defective???

franky speaking........,to me u seem don know wat u really wan!

 

FJR, VFR, TDM, ST11......all belong to different class of bike.

 

Each of them is expert in their own trade.

 

For wat i see, u are not focus in any trade(bike)

 

oneday u maybe the jack of all trade but master of none...

 

i just state my view here

 

no offend.......

 

 

 

 

 

sorry but i do not agree with u saying abt the jack of all trades thing... i feel it is better that one do try out a lot of bikes in order to find out what one really wants... there are people who have changed tons of bikes ranging from road bikes to sports bikes to scooters to eudora bikes before they decide on the bike they like... hence its pretty unfair to make the comments above isnt it? Moreover i believe one is in no position to judge anybody based on one's individual preference.... in other words... he has his freedom to like whatever bikes he want isnt it?

 

come to think of it...sometimes i really wonder what the threads in "bike specs & reviews" are for? Are they for people to seek information about a specific bike or attempting to create multiple bike clubs within SBF itself... the purpose of these threads somehow got distorted.... and for eg. if u are not riding a fjr1300, u shouldnt even post in it... hmm... kinda hostile isnt it? maybe some moderators would like to clarify the purpose of having this sub category "bike specs & reviews"? And whether people who are not riding a specific bike are welcome to post in these threads?

 

I just state my views here...

 

no offence....

(sometimes i really wonder if these two sentences are disclaimers to allow people to post whatever opinions, no matter its hurting or not, in the forum. Pretty misused isnt it? )

[omnislash]

Looks like non-FJRians are posting more than FJRians.. Wat are we doing... wake up...

We can't really do much if its accidental or if someone wanna be deliberate, sad though.

 

Maybe our own practices can reduce the accidental type of damage. Like where we park, how we park, do we try to squeeze into a tight spot or rather park somewhere else and walk a little. Do we wanna mix with the "cub knia" at the causeway during peak or rather wake up a little earlier and avoid the traffic;or the way we ride........ you know, stuffs like that.

 

I've seen this RT once trying to squeeze between 2 buses and they closed in on him. Not only were his 2 panniers damaged......well, you can imagine the rest.......a reality check for all us bikers.
