Soooo... Now that we are talking about the potential Gen 3, what would be on your wishlist for changes Checkswrecks?
The bike already hits most everything I'm looking for so my list would be pretty simple.
Better headlights for sure. LED like the FJR got.
My second biggest nit is that the left grip trigger is not the high beam trigger, which has been the norm for a lot of other bikes for a long long time. I totally understand that the current high beam rocker switch costs less to make, but it still irks me that the trigger for the index finger doesn't do what is "normal."
More clearance between the front fender and tire so mud can't lock up the tire.
A narrow frame mounted mud guard in front of the engine for the stripe that the tire creates.
We all mount a phone &/or GPS, so a built-in 2 amp USB plug would be nice.
A couple of extra fuse slots for accessories or one with higher current to add an aux panel
Tire pressure sensors would be great. Same with a display of volts.
An anti-knock sensor since people already use regular gas.
The only big-buck improvement that would be nice (not necessary) would be the FJR's slipper clutch to ease the clutch pull.
Like everybody says. . .
Maybe less weight and more horsepower, but not at the expense of losing the current torque and low rpm performance.
A switch to disable the ABS just to shut up all the people who insist on one.
