Hi bros... just want to ask what tires is good and reliable for our FJR? How much does it cost for front and rear?

[putton]

Hi all FJRians..

Got a few questions to ask!!

1. Wat is the fuel comsumption like for FJR1300??

i know its has a fuel tank of 25 litres..

2. And from the 1st page of this thread, i saw that the oil is 4.9 ltr..

Is it true??

So each time oil change nid 5 bottle of oil??

3. How much is the road tax and insurance for this monster??

 

Thank you all very much!!!

Hi bros... just want to ask what tires is good and reliable for our FJR? How much does it cost for front and rear?

 

I tried Z6 and BT021 before.

 

Z6 -> Super hardy touring tires. If I remember correctly, it was about S$420 last year, guess they may cost more this year with price of everything, except our wages, going up. But remember to mantain the correct air pressure for ALL types of tires, cos FJR is a heavy but very stable beast. I didn't do it for my Z6 and learnt it the hard way. My Z6 went "out-of-shape" after just three to four months and I had to change to BT021 at HKL (think Ah Keong charged me S$380) last Oct before 3NCR '07.

 

BT021 -> The soft compound on both sides of the tire makes one more confident when corning. Everybody, pls don't get me wrong. I am not trying to be boostful here or show-off or what, but my left side foot peg did "meet" the ground on a few occassions when I was using BT021 doing a left wide arc, slightly down-sloped (not those type of Genting down-slope) corning. I don't feel the same confidence when using Z6. I was quite scared when the foot peg touches the ground, but somehow, BT021 tires will "like bring your whole bike down further" when it comes to cornering while you don't get the same kind of feeling on a hard-compound Z6 touring tires.

 

But to each his own, other more seasoned, more experienced FJR-riders may have their own preferances.

 

Afterall, I am only an ex-rider.

-> I think the average is around 300km - 320km for city riding. But when on NSH, it will be a different case. Perhaps the more seasoned, more experienced riders can advise on the mileage.

 

2. And from the 1st page of this thread, i saw that the oil is 4.9 ltr..

-> Think if I remember corrrectly, it is 4 bottles (or was it 4.5 bottles?!?) when you change the oil filter during your EO change. If not, slightly lesser. I don't remember buying and using 5 bottles of EO to fill it up during a NORMAL EO change w/o changing oil filter.

 

3. How much is the road tax and insurance for this monster??

-> For me, a 32 yrs-old guy with about 3 years of riding experience, my road-tax was around S$460/yr. Road tax this may be lesser as LTA has reduced the road-tax. My insurance with NTUC was S$770+ (I think. But it is around S$750+ and above).

Alamak bro..ex rider but still 1 big FJR family wat..

Im currently using BT021 for my 08' FJR..trust me,its super good esp for cornering for this heavy bike..and Genting slopes will prove that to u.
