allenc408 Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 Hello, Finally caved and got a new ride last week Friday, and already got my first 600mi service done today I have to say, I'm very impressed with what Yamaha has designed. The engine is a joy, throttle control is decent, still getting use to it, but its manageable and the suspension is very nice for long commute down 101 in CA. (probably need to tweak the setting a bit, haven't had the time to dial it in yet). I was some what skeptical of the front windscreen but with it works and doesn't create any turbulence to the head/helmet/ On the day I bought it I rode it up skyline blvd (CA Route 35) to SF from Saratoga, stop by Alice Cafe to take a quick snap shot 8-) Cheers, Allen C.

allenc408 Posted March 22, 2015 Author Share Posted March 22, 2015 Yeah, were spoiled in CA with great weather and roads. I took hwy 1 back home to break the 600mi mark for the first service from SF to Santa Cruz. I ride around 18K miles a year the lack of rain has been boosting this total lately.

trench Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 Hi all, I'll have a fresh FJ in my South Bay garage in a day or so. Maybe we should all do a ride soon. Trench Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
