Yamaha FJR1300

[Kazky]

Bro, we should seriously do sthing abt this. We should start off a signed petition. All FJRians on the forum should sign a written petition and send it off to HL S'pore and also send a copy to Japan. That'll wake them out of their arrogance.

 

Count me in if u guys wanna do that..these things at HL must be stopped.J just bcoz they are the yamaha agent but doesn't mean its the only bike in the whole world left.

Btw do any of u know what acessories to put on the FJR make it look more power?i got the sliders on already. Do share..

[omnislash]

yo omnislash u should do it man send one good email to japan and tell they abt their conterpart in singapore standard,,, then they will know.. waiting for it man bro,,

 

Now busy with my work. And other than the first time I go, I nv been there anymore for maintenance. Except sometimes go to the spare parts counter to get stuff. But I still can say lah. Except that I can only quote one example.

thought that b4.. but is tooooooo expensive..

from what i know in town no 1 carry this product & no 1 using it..

& yet the cobin seat is not really that comfort like ppl said. according to 1 of our FJR rider is using the yamaha original cobin seat, so so only..

Yo bro... if its the timing chain tensioner problem y dun they just change tat? Its cheaper u know. I'm riding a Yamaha TDM900. Tis bike also facing this small problem (abnormal noise) coming from the timing chain. Usually i will buy the chain tensioner from Auto Machinery and fix it myself... very easy to install one...

 

I am not around when they open up my bike to check and repair so I can't know whether just changing the tensioner will do the job or not. Normally the chain should be replace as well when changing the tensioner because it is a cheap item. And all those gasket should be replaced as well because they are cheap and also to prevent future leakage.

 

When did I say my bike was 6 month old

since my loved R1 stolen,i doubt can get back..as i waiting for

insurance claim and all those stuff.in between my next target is to aiming for tourer bike,

i need u guys opinion on Yamaha FJR1300A.i rode my friend STX but not

really promising in term of power and stabilization..

 

Appreciate ur suggestion

[zamani]

If u often go touring esp on NSH, FJR is the bike for u!

cruising at 160, 180km/h is juz a breeze.

no regrets for me so far ....

STX and FJR's riding posture are different. FJR is a lot lower in turns of sitting position and handlebar position. STX is higher for the handlebar and seat height, IMO. I'm 1.63m, so seat height is a concern for me.

[ramen71]

i love touring,i did with R1 up to phuket and couple of

in west malaysia.thks for ur input..

[happy_cookies]

it really depent on wat u like...

most of us like FJR bocs of bike design, performance and handeling..

with FJR, not just Phuket, think you can shoot to MHS or even Golden Triangle w/o worry abt ur bike... I did that last Aug.. Do come to our outting and you will find out more... : )

[ramen71]

definitely,i envy u all as able to go so far,i wanted too,but with sportbike

a bit resistance especially on luggage..travel to bangkok and further it's not joke,really need courage,motivation and patient,respect u guys...

[happy_cookies]

Strongly agree. Can be done. Minimum of 2 weeks to do it.

[happy_cookies]

it depend on wat u wish....

if u wish just touch n' go, within a week u can complete from sg to golden triangle and some back....

if u wish to explore more, 2 week is just nice... : )

it will depend on what type of rider u are.

but sadly there is not much choices of tourer in Singapore.

imo,

- ST or STX is for those who is more uncle or uncle wanna be. example: simon Soh (sorry simon i know u r not uncle)

- FJR is for those who want raw power yet comfort enuf.

- 14GTR aka kawasaki concorse is for those who want even more raw power yet hi-tech.

- Hayabusa, i agreed it is a hypersports tourer that is still most powerful tourer available.

- Kawasaki ZZR14, try to be busa killer but... (kawa fans dont stalk me ok...)

- blackbird, realiable & affordable tourer yet powerful enuf but riding position..

don't talk so much..hv u order urs?

[ramen71]

initially i was impressed with kawa gtr1400, sleek design yet powerful

with high tech gadget,but worried on spare parts supply,i did study and ask few

shop,all give negative feedback,so dun dare to take risk and oso kawa is no

1 hot bike in malaysia,chances of kena stolen very high too..just my 2cent..

[crash_8114]

I agree with you bro ramen71.....

 

I oso have been following up on this thread and have been doing my research on the various (but limited) tourers in Singapore...

I was initially gunning for the FJR with the YCC-S chip installed but having looked through the history of the bike and the fact that it has been around for 2 years with no effort by HL to bring it in, I decided not to waste my time...

 

From then on, it was a Head-to-Head between the FJR and the Concourse...I decided to pursue the reason why I took up my Class 2.....

 

I've only recently passed my Class 2(26 Feb 08 to be exact) but booked my FJR bout 2 weeks ago (with Everbright)...

Now awaiting the arrival of my 'Black Berserker' which is soon to arrive

Hope to be able to meet up and learn more bout the bike from seasoned riders... and hopefully join in ur touring sessions....
