Well, I gutted out the the stock Dunlops on my FTR1200, but it's that time (especially for the back tire) - the tires need to go bye-bye, and new ones need to but put on my FTR. I know there are a ton of threads on replacement tires for the FTR1200, but a lot of the threads are older, and I'd...

I'm on vacation today and tomorrow, so I scheduled my 2019 FT1200R Base model for it's 5000 mile servicing, oil change, and to have the coolant tee safety recall issue taken care of . Since I had a bit of a wait ahead of me (I didn't have a ride home, nor did I want to spend money on an Uber...

Maybe I"m being a stick in the mud, but after the little stunt I saw another rider perform, during my commute to work on my FTR this morning, I felt I'd bring this up in a thread. It basically covers all motorcycles, hence the reason why I posted in this section of the forum: When I make my...

For starters, there's nothing wrong with the Antigravity Lithium Ion Battery I installed in my FTR1200 - it starts reliably (actually better that the old lead acid Yuasa battery ever did IMO). Nonetheless, I do have a question, due to a bizarre situation I had thrown in my lap this week. A...

As you may recall, I had battery issues again, with my FTR1200, so I decided to switch tomorrow, to a lithium ion battery. The battery I opted for per ferraiolo1's suggestion, was an Antigravity HD12. I have the battery in hand, the time to finally install it, and since the weather will be...

I decided to go for a nice 30 plus mile ride today, after work. It's supposed to rain for the next few days, and considering how much of a battery hog the FTR1200 is, the ride would help to charge up the battery. Well, so much for going for a nice ride after work (the third one since I hooked...

Well, the battery is disconnected (since I can't hook up a battery tender, due to a lack of a power outlet where I park my FTR1200, I disconnect the battery, to keep it from discharging - I've done this for years, with good results), fuel stabilizer is in the tank, and a sheet has been draped...

It's a gorgeous day here. Perfect for riding, but I'm not out and about on 2 wheels. My FTR 1200 is within 70 miles of requiring its 500 mile break-in maintenance, and the earliest I can get in is 2 weeks from now. So, I'm conserving the rides I have left (about 2, rides of about 30 plus...

Well, as of 2 hours ago, things aren’t going so well with my FTR1200. As you many recall, in the "What Did You Do On Your FTR1200?" I posted how I was making my first 50 mile round trip commute of the riding season, this past Tuesday morning (the commute went fine - other than me baking in the...

I just picked up my new FTR 1200 (it's the Base Model version) an hour and a half ago. I rode it home, and froze in the process but it was worth it. Yee Haa! I have a question, with the weather here in Wisconsin being iffy at best until at least the middle of April, my FTR 1200 is going to...

Hi, my name's Ellen, and I just jointed the FTR 1200 Forum. I live in the Milwaukee Metro Area (yep, in Harleyland :) ). I've been riding since 1979 ( when an old boyfriend pestered me to give motorcycles a try - you should have seen the fun, 16 year old me, had convincing dad to let her get...
