Had a great ride last weekend opened the fjr up a little railed some corners out of Willits heading down H-20 back to woodland. Put the trusty steed away let her rest for a couple of days till relations come for family reunion. Had to take her to work to day. went and got morning coffee and noticd bike was handling kind of Heavy. Stopped checked the tires front O.K. rear way down on psi. put her on the center stand and found a 4p nail in her. Only 1400 miles on the bike and tires, this is short lived for tire life and kind of expensive, iwould like to get at least 8k out of them before I replace them. One thing for sure ,sure glad it was at 10mph when i noticed it instead of the higher speeds i traveled over the week end.
Then come to find out they do not make the rear tire any more. metlezer changed to a different pattern or Yamaha bought all last year and used for the bikes, so a new one could be developed ( marketing). So any way will scrub this one in, and be ready to hit the road at full speed in a couple of weeks. ? DOES ANY FELLOW RIDER EVER REPPAIR AND REUSE OR WHAT WOULD YOU DO ?
