gce Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 Ok, lets see if I get this right. First off you guys/gals have a nice forum. So I walked into my Yamaha dealer to get some brake pads for my Road Star. Picked up the parts and looked around the showroom floor. I ran into a FJ-09 and had no idea what it was. I have a KLR650 but for the last 2 years I've been looking for something to replace it with. I've looked at the Tigers and even a Ducati but either they were to pricy or they just didn't float my boat. Got to talking to the sales guy and this FJ started to just make sense. So I went back the next day to talk price and trade in for the KLR. It sounded like I could get a good deal so the next day I road the KLR in and road the FJ-09 home. I live in Anaheim (SoCal) and I couldn't be more happy with this bike so far. I know its supposed to be a dual sport bike but this ones going to say on the road. So hopefully I can learn some stuff on this forum and pass on what I learn about this bike to others. George Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Trambo Posted July 4, 2015 Premium Member Share Posted July 4, 2015 Congrats, George! I also traded a KLR650 on mine. Love the triple, so smooth and powerful. I know a few folks here happily dual-sport it but I'm not one... like you, mine will stay on pavement! 2015 Stealth Grey FJ-09 Pilot Base of Operations: Chesterfield, VA Farkels?

I've had the FJ in "STD" and yesterday put it in "A" for the first time HOLY CRAP this thing gets up and goes. Can't wait to get her broke in and get her in the twisties. Thanks for the welcome guys!

gce Posted July 6, 2015 Author Share Posted July 6, 2015 Just wait until you turn off TCS the first time and try A-Mode!! Holy wheelies, Batman!! That's what I hear but for now I need to go back into break-in mode. It's hard to break-in this beast because it just wants to growl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rayw1128 Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 Hi George, Congrats on the new purchase. Quick question for you, I live in So-Cal and been looking at a FJ-09 as well. Mind me asking what the OTD price (excluding tax and license) is you paid? Also, which dealer did you go to and any particular sales person you would recommend? Thanks.
