Retired here in FL and don't take the FJ-09 out unless it's 60 or more. I suppose it's because I don't have the correct clothing. Great bike. I have about 9K miles on mine. Growing my channel as are you so thought I'd give ya a little help. All the best to ya.
Sucks that your truck wouldn't start. Yup, the day is always better when you go to work on the bike. I took the bike out this morning, and it was 4c! The heated grips worked like a charm. Ride safe dude.
I love starting my mornings with a little commute to work on motorcycle. I am actually considering trading in my Honda for a FJ-09, fell in love with the bike when I tested it!
I'm trying to change the screen, I have a long givi screen on my 2017 mt09 tracer (fj09) and it's nice but looks kind of stupid when I do mostly city riding. I go touring once/month or so for long weekends. Anyways, what kind of screen are you using? It looks great? How does it compare to a longer screen?
Jumbo Body In this video the bike has a modified factory screen. I found it quieter as the air passed over my shoulders but my helmet was in clean air. The bike now has a Zero Gravity sport screen. It's nicer looking but works similar
What mpg do you get on your bike? Worst, best and average? What year is it? Is there a difference between the 15 and the 16? Thinking about getting one.
Mark Kropf Mine is a 15. Average fuel economy over the last 5000km has been 4.8L/100km. Haven't done the conversion (to mpg, am in Canada). That's without resetting it over that period, and I would classify my riding style as moderately aggressive. The 2016 has a different oil pan with relocated drain plug, and different color choices. Just ovr 11,000kms on mine now....love it.

We didn't get to see your motorcycle costume. Sad day!

58 degrees Fahrenheit? That's like summertime, right?
Stafford Video Productions much warmer than today, thats for sure
Rode my FJR in today at 5 degrees centigrade
Stafford Video Productions when you love to ride...not much can keep you from it

PapaC2000 thanks! That would be 49 miles per gallon.
