    Wheel weights

    Where can I find the factory style wheel weights? I purchased new tires, and they used the ugly stick ons, and won't give me my old ones back due to store policy. Where can I pick up some more of the factory clip on style?

    Front tire bounce?

    Well, the PR2's have been back ordered and it's going to be 2 weeks before they can get any in, but they have the new PR3's in stock! Woohoo!!!! I took them down, he definitely said he see's the problem with the front, and can see an issue with the rear as well, but both are minor. Two...

    '06 an'07 AEs vs. an '08 AE

    I'm with everyone else. I would much rather be setting on the bike with a wider ramp than to walk beside the bike while throttling it up. It doesn't take much throttle movement to go from smooth, to launch! 2nd gear would be a must for sure! I'm not sure about your ramp situation, but I have...

    Prices for new 2009 and 2010

    I bought a brand new 08 AE in Feb 2010 for $10,700 and the AE's are normally $1000 higher. While I wasn't a fan of the AE at all, I couldn't help myself at that price. I have found I really like the AE in traffic and for just leisure cruising around. I do miss the clutch once in a while when...

    Brake rattle fix?

    That does look a little closer to mine, and I think I do remember those spring plates. I'll check them when I pull the wheel in a few days and see what I can see. I know I can move the pad easily so maybe those need to be bent to hold tighter.

    Brake rattle fix?

    Pads have never been replaced, but I did have them off once to inspect for the rattle. I don't remember seeing any clips of any sort in there, but I will be pulling the wheel off again this week for my tire issue and will look at this again. If I don't have the clips, I will be making a stop...

    2009 AE severe clunking when taking off.

    I didn't see that clutch replacement thread you are talking about, but what you say makes sense. i just assumed that the clutch was setting in oil due to the way it acts. The only thing I can think of that would cause this on the AE is maybe as the clutch grabs, rpm drops, causing the computer...

    Brake rattle fix?

    My brake pads rattle, and I see many have had this happen. Any good fix? It's done it since day one, but is getting louder and now I have to apply front and back brakes slightly every time I drive on my gravel driveway or in a rough parking lot. Curious if the dealers are stepping up with a...

    2009 AE severe clunking when taking off.

    I'll second what everyone else says. My 08 does that when it has set for a while, and only on the first move if it's still cold. It has to do with the clutch plates setting partially in oil while parked and when you start it, they give that chatter feel. Mine isn't severe and if I let it warm...

    Front tire bounce?

    Talked to the manager who was very nice. He looked at the bike and said he has never seen a PR2 bad. His thought is maybe a balance issue. I told him I think it's more than that. He said to pull the wheel and bring it in and he'll check the balance and spin them. If there is a problem, he...

    Front tire bounce?

    I went by cycle gear and spoke with a sales person. She seemed to think if it is a mfg defect, they will take care of it, but the manager was gone to lunch so she had to refer it to him when he gets back. I'll stop by after work again to see, but I am keeping my fingers crossed, they have...

    Front tire bounce?

    This sounds exactly like mine. I did put it up on the center stand and spin it. There is an every so slight dip in the tire as I spin it. I have about 2k miles on it since it was put on about 9-10 months ago, what should I expect for a warranty? I bought it through Cycle Gear and they...

    Front tire bounce?

    I never really payed much attention previously, but after putting on my PR2's I started noticing a front end bounce at ~30mph. I didn't give it too much thought because I thought it might be the road and the way they lay the blacktop, and if it was a tire, I would notice it at many speeds...

    Autocom Install Suggestions

    I'll try to take some pics of mine tomorrow, but I believe the tray is different on the A vs. AE. Mine doesn't really have a tray under the driver seat, it just has the computer there, and I think the A it's tucked down lower. So my Autocom lays flat on top of the computer and there is a...

    Autocom Install Suggestions

    Luckily I live near Tulsa and bought all of my Autocom stuff directly from Keith. He showed me some of his install handywork and such while I was there and he definitely knows his stuff. For your install it sounds as though you have it layed out pretty good. I also put all of mine under the...

    Two different '06 Blue graphics?

    Wow, I like those... I do wish mine were reflective.

    Two different '06 Blue graphics?

    The silver is an aftermarket stripe. I have the same one on my 08. I think I got it at Premier Cycle.
