Hope the FJ07 becomes available in the US. Was going to replace the Vstrom with a FJ09 during 2017, but will wait and see on the FJ07 for 2017 or 2018. I could easily fit FJ07 in the 6.5' bed of the Tundra when towing the travel trailer. Looks like this bike would work fine for two up touring when camping around the nation.
Thanks for posting!

What about an FJR-09??? Where the hell is that bike Yamaha?? The FJ-09 doesn't do it for me.
Here is your FJR-09. (https://ridemsta.com/mstaforums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fuploads.tapatalk-cdn.com%2F20161108%2F55d469e2cefe7406cc7c4e3759957d83.jpg&hash=2b40b43bc3262dd6e318d2ff1d7c7389f5712e8b)

It's easy to tell that the stock suspension was built to a price point. Needs help but then I'm still trying to dial it in. I've been making adjustments and getting it closer. It still wants to push in the corners and when I try to trail brake into corners it wants to stand up. I'm so used to the Tenere which has none of these tendencies.
It sure is a fun bike however!

Congrats on on the FJ9 Dave. I'm still getting mine dialed in. Hope your recovery is going well. I saw your post on the FJ9 forum about suspension upgrade. I'm thinking about doing some suspension work to my bike so I can keep up with y'all. I have a Busa rear shock to go on first looks like it will be a tight fit.
Whoa... first who is this? Sorry you didn't sign your email and don't say in your profile.
How do you know a Busa rear shock will work properly on the much liter FJ-09?
I find that the front needs work so far the back seems... well acceptable. At least until I change the front.

Funny, your comment on the Busa shock - I was thinking the same thing. 2 radically different bikes, not sure it would just swap over. but who knows.
Enjoy fiddling with your suspension.

Thanks Richard. So far it's a blast! Plus it's 140lbs lighter.

Can't all members view my profile? It's all there. The Hayabusa rear shock has a fat man spring 733.lb/inch. From reading the FZ-09 and FJ-09 forums it will fit with a little plastic shield cutting. I've yet to install it. I'll also install some fat man fork springs and a Stohl tech piston kit. I'm trying to save a little money and set the bike up to my weight.
