Yamaha FJR1300

[vision77]

Some prefer Mr "Ah Keong" from HKL...

 

Some prefer Mr "Kenny" from Bike 123 near Lavendar...

 

My preferred mechanic has gone back to JB to open his own bike workshop.

 

Others have their own preferred mechanics.

 

So it is to each his own...

 

But Mr "Ah Keong" from HKL has been servicing quite a few bros' FJRs from here and quite reliable...

 

Good Luck to you in your search for your preferred mechanic...

 

Thanks for the recommendation. Will keep an open mind when the time comes.

 

Oh! Where do u guys get your slider? How much? is it really usefully? as in protect your flairing when bike drops? Thanks.

[seahmh]

Sliders ARE DEFINITELY USEFUL. Please get them installed as soon as possible.

 

I once drop my FJR when doing 3-point turn. The sliders saved my fairings from having to send for re-spray which will cost a lot.

yup, most of us using motovation.

Really advisable for u to install sliders. I learned the hard way by not installing it earlier.

4th day my new bike cum out, i dropped her while trying to park at pavement. Result in scratches on side fairing and a half-broken side-mirror.

Can't remember too clearly cos I am an ex-Fabulous-Joy-Rider.

Yes, vision, please do install the sliders AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

 

No money to buy the sliders, beg, borrow, steal, or borrow from loan-sharks also must find the money to buy the sliders and install them.

 

Don't live to regret it or learn it the hard way.

 

Even though mine was a 2nd hand machine, but when I dropped it, the sliders "saved" my right side fairings and my ride only "suffered" very minor scratches elsewhere, my whole heart still sank to the bottom of the well...

:cry:

It is the technique, not by force.

 

Don't worry. Perhaps you may wish to get a friend to "stand-by" besides you while you try to park it on main-stand.

 

After a few practices (maybe 3 - 4 times), you can do it without sweat.

 

And FYI, even though a FJR is much heavier than a Honda VFR, I personally feel that a FJR is much easier to park on main-stand because of the fact that FJR's main-stand "legs" are much longer than VFR's and thus bigger manoeuvring angle.

[zamani]

yup, totally agreed it is the technique, not brute strength.

 

practice makes perfect, after a few tries, no prob for u to park ur bike at mainstand.

Thanks for the advise. Will try to get one by this week. Till now I still don't dare to use main stand..

 

its all abt putting the ur bodyweight on ur right leg and press down rather than trying to lift it using ur hands..so buddy system at first will help.

practise makes perfect bro.

well,bcoz of tat initially my (at that time)1 mth old bike fell and sliders saved my fairings..Heart pain!! but luckily no major damages.

also sliders saved my bike 1 more time when i skid at my MSCP..

 

Can't say much abt the panniers though..if u meet each and everyone of us there is NO ONE wif clean panniers(if u know wat i mean).

 

Best of all,this beast can really endure LOTS of things!!
