How to lower yamaha fjr1300 Videos

watched your video on Laam seat,I own a 2013 fjr . I was wondering if it makes you feel as if the seat is in the higher setting because of padding ? I prefer the lower setting on the stock seat .I don't like stock seat for all day rides.thanks for your input. Chris, Ocala Fl

Like the vid, very in depth. I'm currently looking at getting a fjr later this year or early next, I currently own a road King, I like it, but I also like the look of the sport tourer, I do about two long trips per year, and am hoping that the fjr would be a nice fit for those. Have you taken any extended trips on either of this one or the prior, if so how did it fare?

Just wanted to say thank you for all of the great videos. I have the same year and model FJR 1300, and I really get a lot out of your videos. Your camera work is excellent, the advice you give is sound, and you're a really nice guy. Thank you very much! One thing... I tried to send you a few bucks this morning via the "Support TwoWheel Obsession" function on YouTube, but after choosing $5, putting in a comment and my CC info and clicking "submit", I got an error. I'm not sure if it went through or not, so I'll wait a bit and see if I get an email or something (receipt). Just wanted to let you know that there was an issue making donations. Thanks again for everything, you Rock!

hello Bryan.i have 2005 FJR and i have an oil leak in the front forks can you help me by explaining the proses the way you do your videos? i really find you way you do videos very interesting and easy to understand.thank you .William Angel,from Los -Angeles.

Been thinking of getting a RDL. But I found Laam and he's got better prices. Just going to get my front seat done. Girlfriend says she's fine with her seat. I was wondering if when you ordered your seat, did you get the over sized seat? Cause I definitely want the wings. I think that's what will make the seat most comfortable. Even distribution of my a**. 

Hey Bryan, I am looking into a Laam seat and I am interested in the fabric you selected. Is that just standard black vinyl? It look like it has a little texture to it. Also, is your seat considered oversized or regular?

May I ask what screen you used as your replacement? I'm looking at an un-titled, un-registered 2009 FJR1300AE here, and was thinking about a National Cycle windscreen for it. TIA

I'm 5'9", seat height in the lower position for a 2015 fjr1300es.. I bought the touring windshield and like you said at around town, commuting speed of 40 mph no turbulence. At highway speed i found still getting beat up a little. Not as bad as the stock shorter windscreen but still enough to make long distance highway riding fatiguing. What do tall, 6'4" [people do. I'm looking to buy the Cee Bailey and see what happens. Might have to sell my touring screen on ebay. Hope a midget buys it.

What does a touring windshield cost?

I've been watching your videos on your new FJ1300. Great vids and very informative. On this one, please tell me you were not wearing white shorts while riding. At 3:52 or so, hopefully it's an illusion.

I just got an FJR (2013) and have enjoyed and learned from your video's. All except this one. Wind noise at 40-50 MPH? Who cares? Let me know how much better the touring screen is at 85 MPH. Where it counts. You have some great insight on this bike but unfortunately for you .. your riding seems confined to suburban Florida which is is like... well.. you know...... boring. Take that thing to the mountains in the west.. Ride in Montana where the speed limit's are 70 and above. Then tell me how that screen works.

If you’re a big guy, or an average fellow who does regular weightlifting/strength-training, yeah, you can probably get it to go up. But I’m average and I don’t do any weight lifting—and I can’t get it to do more than rock back and forth. My FJR hasn’t ever gone up on the center stand for me. I have managed to pick the thing off the pavement after dropping it—done that 3 times—but it is an absolute pain in the ass. That 650 pound bike with its high center of gravity was designed to do one thing, which is perform gracefully at speed—it wasn’t designed to be easily maneuvered while idle.

Pretty lame video. Since they weren't showing the bike, I was pretty sure it's basically the same as my '09. Everyone bitches about the 5 speed tranny, but I get between 43 and 50mpg (depending on the coolness of the road) with lots of zip. Would a 6-speed give me 60mpg- I think not. Once you get the suspension set up for your weight and riding style, it is an amazing bike. I've only had it up to 135, but it was still pulling surprisingly hard. Faster than my last bike, an '05 R1200RT.
