freebooter Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 Hello, I bought my FJ-09 in May. Love the bike but the seat sucks. I might trade it in on a Tenerebut if not I will get me a new seat AND windshield. "What do I know of cultured ways, the gilt, the craft and the lie?

Premium Member javashot1 Posted November 22, 2015 Premium Member Share Posted November 22, 2015 Hello and welcome! You will find lots of advice here to make your FJ9 the bike you want. Spend a little time researching here and a little money on upgrades and I think you will be very happy with your choice. No need to cut and run.

Guest highplainsrider Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 How many miles have you ridden it? I have had many bikes and never felt the need to change seats once I got used to them. Give it a couple thousand miles before you make any drastic changes. My last bike was a Hypermotard and really liked being able to stretch out over the passenger part of the seat on long rides. I really missed it for a while. I actually find the FJ-09 more comfortable now. I'm 5'10" and I felt cramped with the seat on the highest setting. Putting the seat in the lower position made it more comfortable for some odd reason. I though about the Super T before I bought the FJ. It looks like an awesome bike but man that is a lot of weight. I wanted to stay light especially coming from a sub 400 pound Ducati. I did swap the windshield though. Followed my rule and gave it a full 2,000 miles before changing it to a Puig screen. Way quieter and better protection. I think it is going to be hot in the summer but I'll just take it off and take the air if it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
