Other (K) Bikes or anything else! / Re: New to me Bike

Looks exceptional for the mileage. I've always had low mileage bikes but my Audi A8 has done 176k miles now and a friend of mine has a Range Rover with 270k miles on it. Can honestly say higher mileage has never bothered me. I'd rather have a well looked after, higher mileage vehicle that has spent its life going up/down decent roads than a low mileage, thrashed city bike that has been used for short journeys any day of the week.

He seems to think it is an FJR1200 at 00:40 despite pointing the camera at the 1300 badge!  :D

Guessing you've been to look at it by now Rae so please let us know how long it took you to ride home on it!  ;)

Does sound/look good! I'd love to watch one of these professional cleaners. I was reading about what it takes to import a bike to NZ and the levels of clean are scary, but the people exist who'll do it!

Good luck Rae :) I hope it meets expectations.

As you may have read in another thread my black 2013 FJR is probably going to be written off. So I have found a replacement 2015 Red FJR. The dealer has posted a video which is worth a watch as he is a bit comical.

It looks to be in mint condition. I am going to see it later today. I'll keep you posted.

I need a longer bar.


...or a Torque multiplier. Assuming you could find something to put the arm against. https://www.machinemart.co.uk/p/laser-6948-mini-torque-multiplier-34-to-1/

500 miles yesterday, 400 dry. Stuttering like hell below 4k, so just ride at speeds over 4k natch, tyres lunched. On the upside the double USB socket I replaced the din socket with (that the plug in double USB socket kept falling out of) kept the phone sat nav fully charged all day. The last 100 wet mile showed the Enduroguard jacket is not waterproof. If anyone knows the correct waterproofing to use please tell, as Techwash ain't it. And the enduroguard glove felt wetted out but my hands were dry, but I think I'm going to get some new gloves. Why else would I go back to work?

Neat little device  :thumbsupgood:

The distributor is just down the road from me in Southend. I actually went there to buy a Lithium battery for my KTM a while ago and he got one out to show me. It was so light I thought it was just a case  :)  Then he tested it at 410 amps in front of me  :o

It has another Antigravity gimmick on it - a built in Jump Starter. It's not really, but what it does is continuously monitor its own voltage and before it looks like it is going t go flat it turns itself "off". You then need to lift the seat a push a button to re-activate it and it has enough power for one or two start ups.

I thought the Sprint race was good (bizarre?) but the main race was fantastic. Just when I was starting to loose interest in MotoGP - I hope there are more like that  :thumbsupgood:

Well, when I got new tyres the guy at the front desk knew the rear wheel went on with a 260Nm torque but apparently the actual fitters didn't.

I need a longer bar.

Edit: I found a longer bar.
