Davidbob Posted January 9, 2019 Author Share Posted January 9, 2019 My yamaha dealer have a leftover fj09 2017, brand new, for $9500cad. I would like to have a bike capable of long road trip, but some times, go on flat non paved road. So iam thinking to put 70/30 tires on this fj09, but i am worried about the handling, and the under engine protection.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmev Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 You'll be fine. I do the same thing you do. I put a skid plate under the engine but haven't scraped the skid plate yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davidbob Posted January 9, 2019 Author Share Posted January 9, 2019 Ok glad to ear! Iam a little concern about ground clearance and suspension travel. A friend of me have the xsr900 version and tell me that this little 900 engine is a beast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
