fjjouster Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 Just picked up my FJ over the weekend... And Absolutely loving it already! what a great machine. previous bike was a Suzuki DR650 single cylinder, carbonated, thumper Dual Sport.. was loking into buying the Vstrom 1000, but settled, or excitedly changed my mind to the FJ-09!! ditched the adventure for sport touring and i couldnt be happier. i know i wont see a ton of dirt, so i opted for knee dragging performance. this thing screams excitement and refined character. loving every minute.. has anyone noticed the excessively long peg feelers? these things are longer then my....well they are long wondering how low you have to go to grind one off.

Great choice in the FJ. You do know the peg feelers come off with just a wrench don't you? First thing I did after bobbing the tail.

First thing I did after bobbing the tail. well isnt that something! lol didnt realize, and honestly i noticed them at the dealer, and havent noticed since, it doesnt bother me, just seemed excessive. im going to see in the net few weeks if i get close enough to grind them down, if not, off they come anyways Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder what the lean angle is to touch down the feeler, 30? FJ-09, 690 Enduro R. Back Roads. Period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruizin Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 The problem with grinding these peg feelers is if you catch one in a hole or lane marker while at lean, it could catch and send you tumbling. whats the fun in just taking them off?? Grinding them off would be much more fun! Yamaha FZ-10 Forum Yamaha FZ-07 Forum Yamaha Ténéré 700 Forum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
