Premium Member sirepair Posted March 21, 2015 Premium Member Share Posted March 21, 2015 I don't have an FJ-09 (considering one). I'm in Chillicothe, ride a 93 ST1100, love to lean the twisties in the south east corner of the state. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buckeye4life Posted March 21, 2015 Author Share Posted March 21, 2015 I have been impressed so far. This is my first bike so do not have anything to compare it to. My Dad has rode it and he enjoyed it. He has the FJR and a couple of Harley's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cricket1 Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 I'm in NW Ohio, and just got my Candy Red FJ a week ago Saturday. Love it so far! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bannockburn Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 I'm in NE Ohio and considering purchase of an FJ-09. I currently own an F700GS, but love triples....having previously owned a Speed Triple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaxn Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 I'm in central Ohio. Hilliard specifically. I've passed another red FJ commuting into Hilliard 3 times now in the last 2 months. Are you on the forum? Would love to compare mods and impressions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gregzbutt Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 Hello from Columbus! I'm in the Clintonville area. Just bought a red FJ yesterday. Patently waiting for warmer weather... I would love to meet up with some fellow FJ owners in the area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaxn Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 Greetings gregzbutt. Congrats on your purchase. The FJ is a fantastic bike! Probably my favorite ride in the last fifteen years and five motorcycles owned during that time. Let's plan a ride in the spring, whenever the weather finally warms up. I DIDN'T go with the heated grip option. LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gregzbutt Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 That sounds real good. I'll keep an eye out here for a meet up. I did get the heated grips. Seems my hands and feet are what bugs me the most when the temps start dropping. I'm hoping to get some break-in miles this weekend. Saturday and Sunday are looking good!

checkereddemon Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 I belong to a group of very experienced riders and they're having a ride-in at Marietta, OH in June. Here is a link to their Calendar: http://sabmag.dougc.com/calendar/ This is most certainly not a group of just Sabre and Magna riders. We now have 5 FJ riders, several ST1100 and ST1300s, several Beemers, etc. The group does stress ATGATT and one of the member placed 3rd in an Iron Butt Rallye several years ago. Like I said, *very* experienced riders. I plan to be at the Marietta thing, it would be nice to meet some of you guys there... -CD- 2015 Yamaha FJ-09: RaceTech Gold Valves, RaceTech Rear Spring, Arrow Full Exhaust - black with w/Carbon Fibre endcap, ECU Flash, Lowered 20mm front, 15 mm rear, Denali driving lights, Fenda Extenda, Tail Tidy, Corbin Seat, Madstad 22" Windshield, OEM heated grips, Woodcraft frame sliders, Grip Puppies, BadAss Cover (Large)....

gregzbutt Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 That does look like a lot of fun. I know there's some great roads in the area. Unfortunately I'm already scheduled for a Suzuki GS rally in Indiana that weekend. The other love of my life is my 1980 Suzuki GS850G. A great group of folks in the GS community as well.

jonny2dog Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 I don't know who - but I passed another 2015 Red FJ-09 on 104 heading north out of Chillicothe on Wednesday. We need to get all of the FJ owners together for a ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
osufz6 Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 Greetings! Another new member here. Purchased a '15 a couple of weeks ago. Not red but the matte finish. The bike is currently at Ride 1 for a shifter shaft recall. Just listed my 2012 Vstrom 1000 on Craigslist. Shedding 60 pounds and gaining hp should be a hoot. I live in Saddlebrook (between Davidson and Hayden Run. Curt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
