hoopdie Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 This new 0 mile 2016 was hiding in the back room, I guess I’ll buy it! Pending road conditions it will be in the garage Thursday! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rtaylor522 Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Sweet ride. I like the silver and the blue but my red one is growing on me. It already had all the stuff needed for daily commuting on it! I love this bike, it's confidence inspiring and a blast to lean. Enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First come first serve! Highly recommend their business based on this purchase experience, very easy to work with. I just moved to that area. I’m about 2 miles away and in need of riding buddies!

norcal616 Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 I agree.. Platinum Powersports is a good dealership... the guys I ride with fro. work(all HD ?) all brought the HD thru them as well as service... They did my handlebar riser recall and fixed a front sprocket seal under warranty back in Nov... IIRC one of the parts counter guy rides an FZ-09 so hes familiar with the normal noises of the engine... If you enjoy a track day or two, Fox Powersports puts on a ride clinic a few times a year at the local tracks such as Grattan Raceway and Gingerman Raceway... the FJ-09 is no slouch on the track or the drag strip at US131 dragway ? 2012 wr250f - C-class 30+ age group 2015 fz-07- Hordpower Edition-80whp 2015 fj-09- Graves Exhaust w/Woolich tune by 2WDW @120whp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve been in cars at grattan, can only imagine how fun the bikes would be! Might have to check that out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supporting Member texscottyd Posted March 13, 2018 Supporting Member Share Posted March 13, 2018 @hoopdie - Welcome, and congratulations on the new bike. The FJ is hugely entertaining, and I’m sure you’re going to love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norcal616 Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 the weather looks dry this weekend... might have to take the FJ-09 for a ride and stalk a silver FJ-09 thats just down the street since they are pretty elusive machine by forum standards ? 2012 wr250f - C-class 30+ age group 2015 fz-07- Hordpower Edition-80whp 2015 fj-09- Graves Exhaust w/Woolich tune by 2WDW @120whp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoopdie Posted March 15, 2018 Author Share Posted March 15, 2018 Tomorrow’s Christmas! It will be a tad chilly bringing home the new addition but I can not wait! And it looks like 40’s and 50’s for the weekend, so pumped! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoopdie Posted March 15, 2018 Author Share Posted March 15, 2018 Omg omg omg omg! No words, just pure joy! Best couple miles I’ve ever rode. Bitter sweet though, I’m sure I’ll miss the Harley rumble occasionally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bitter sweet though, I’m sure I’ll miss the Harley rumble occasionally. welcome to the club... I dont think you will miss the HD ?... one thing you should check is the chain slack... the owners manual calls for way too tight of spec and general consensus is to run the chain slack approx 25-30mm other than that, since your right down the road and have any questions about the FJ-09 send me a PM, only thing left for me to upgrade on my FJ-09 is the suspension which is on the wish list... 2012 wr250f - C-class 30+ age group 2015 fz-07- Hordpower Edition-80whp 2015 fj-09- Graves Exhaust w/Woolich tune by 2WDW @120whp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
