Thanks for posting this. I'd like to try out their 3 cylinder bikes and maybe the FZ-07. I'd thought about take a ride up to the mountains that Friday but I may just go check this out instead.

FZ-09 and FJ-09 are fun to ride... both REALLY need a better shock, but Ohlins can hook you up

So can Cogent Dynamics. I just rode over and dropped off the forks for my SV650. New springs... Fresh oil and proper setup they should be great! [THUMBS UP SIGN]

I made it out to the demo rides today. I rode an FJR1300, FJ09, FZ09 and FZ07. This was the fist time I had ridden a Yamaha street bike. It was a lot of fun but apparently I'm hot a Yamaha guy. None of them felt right to me. Even though I'm a big, heavy guy, the FZ07 was the one that I would probably be most apt to buy, assuming those 4 were my only choices. Ride Now and Yamaha, thanks for a good afternoon.

Did you add in compression and rebound adjustability?

I just had Rick do the forks on my 99 SV650 too! Added the new for caps for pre-load... They are night and day from what they were! Needed it badly!

You will have to ride my X. Rick did separate rebound in right fork and compression in the left. I just installed new Bridgestone S21s and its like the tires just glide over the pavement, chip seal, gravel, whatever. A veritable magic carpet.

Flip did you ride the Super Tenere? If not you missed out! [THUMBS UP SIGN][SMILING FACE WITH SMILING EYES]
Steve no there is no external compression or rebound adjustments.
Let's Ride! Brick
