    2006 FJR1300AE

    At least you don't have to buy this electric shifter thing if you don't want to. I said this before in another post on the '06 (but got no response) and I just speed read the other posts on the '06 and saw no mention of it either and that is... UNIFIED (linked) BRAKES SUCK!!! And... you have...

    Holeshot Full System

    When I ordered my cans I suggested to his gal there that they should start a list to notify existing customers if and when they would be shipping the headers. She said that was a good idea and told me that I would be first on the list. If and when the call comes I'll go for it. Dale told me that...

    Abs Confusion

    I had an '03 without and now have an '04 with ABS and I wouldn't be without it. As already noted the rear wheel does lock up pretty easy on these bikes so my ABS engages all the time too. It's made me less heavy footed with my right foot which is good. It won't stop altogether as I ride dirt and...

    Differences?

    The rear suspension change came in '04 with all the other US changes mentioned so far to also include a larger windscreen. Only diff between '04 & '05 is color (and speed of course).

    Cat Convertor

    Dale Walker of Holeshot is finalizing his header. He's through with the straight pipes set up and is now working on including a crossover. If it improves performance than that's the final design. If it doesn't than he's sticking to the original configuration. Either way it should be late summer...

    My Ass Hurts!

    I'm gonna try just bike shorts first. Someone here or another forum said he'd tried a couple of seats and settled on the the stocker with padded bike shorts.

    Potential Fjr Owner And Questions

    I would talk ot your dealer, playing it cool, and ask again about the $500 deposit. If it is made clear that it is not a credit towards your purchase leave and never go back 'cuz he is a thieving prick. There are bikes out there, new and used. Last I looked, three dealers here had at least one...

    Pipes For The Fjr

    I had Staintunes on my '03. I thought they were pretty good. Looked great on the bike, ovals are cool, but the welds weren't all clean. Being one piece they went on easy but the sizing on the pipes was small and it messed up the existing newish gaskets. They didn't come with spare gaskets so I...

    "advanced" Throttle Body Synchronization

    In my only sync, #1 bottomed out while syncing it to #3. Is #3 not ever to be adjusted at all? Also, the manual for my econo Motion Pro Carbtune warned against revving over 3500 as the mercury might be sucked into the cylinders.

    Heat Fix Complete

    4 bars and the fan would put it to the test. I don't use any foam but I taped the bottom of the tank. I run the stock screen in the down position, richened up the fuel mix and keep the tank full. Heat gone. I think the tank gets hot mostly from a lean running engine. The left leg will burn...
