    Armed Riders

    I was just wondering how some of you protect yourselves while on trips to far away places, or when the occasion may arise. I personally like the idea of an immediate equalizer.

    Rats, My 06 went over.........

    I hope you're more careful when riding it.

    HELP!!! I think I am going to Kill myself

    Wow... Art you are a very lucky guy to still be here on earth. A lot of the things you say don't exactly make sense but so be it. I have been riding my AE FJR since 2006 and have never had any trouble with it whatsoever. The throttle is the key on the AE, and it isn't hard to master. But...

    Stupid pillion mount and dismount question with top box

    Have her put her right foot on the left pillion peg as she faces rear of bike, she then steps up and side swings her left foot over pillion seat, she is now on the bike facing rearward. This next step is a little tricky but very important. First off you should ask her if she wants to ride in...

    '06 AE Clutch Report

    Keep the RPM up so that it doesn't try to go into neutral and feather the rear brake, you should find that will solve the problem of super slow u-turns

    EZ PASS Holder

    Glue it to the right side of your helmet, that way you'll never lose it.

    2007 FJR Orders Through D&H Cycles

    Bought my 06 FJR from D&H they gave me a copy of the sales receipt and the certificate of origin. Called my insurance company and rode it home to Omaha NE with no problems. Paid sales tax and all the other bullshit fees at NE DMV. By the way D&H are the best. They couldn't be nicer folks to...

    '06 AE Clutch Report

    You can do a hard launch with the AE. It,s all in throttle control. I'm not going to tell you exactly how to do it, I'm going to give you a little hint and then you can figure it out from there. Slightly turn the throttle to friction point... By the way make sure you are leaning forward and...

    AE operation nitpicks

    Everything on my AE works just fine. I have zero problems turning the throttle smoothly and I find it very easy to turn. I can bring the front end up on shifts with no problem. Throttle control on this bike is essential if you want the bike to behave as expected. The only changes I would...

    Motorcyclist mag pans FJR-AE

    Consider the source, they will not give an honest review, it would cost them to much money. Of the 3 bikes what one is the least available in this country? Get my drift?

    AE Pilots - Shifting technique - blip the throttle or not?

    I have shifted my AE in all sorts of different manner and all it does is perform flawlessly. I love this AE machine.

    Apparent differences in bikes/06 ride evaluation

    I have no complaints about my 2006 FJRAE it is about as perfect a bike as I have ever ridden. No vibe problems no throttle problems, no seat problems I am as happy as I can be with it. The electric shift has given my riding a whole new dimension, it's just a pure kick in the ass. It is the...

    How to Crash an FJR

    Sorry about your crash, glad you came out of it ok. Now you can fix your bike up again like new or look for another FJR and continue on with your riding. Maybe figure a way to put your order in for one of those new Kawasaki Concours. That looks like a sweet machine. It's little experiences...

    Lifting the Front Tire

    I was at a red light, when light changed took it up to around 5000 rpm in first and shifted to second gave it lots of throttle, front end up about 2 feet. The lift was smooth and stable, let it come back down on its own. This was unintentional but felt very controlled. I ride 2006 fjr...

    DON'T ORDER SERVICE MANUAL YET

    I also received the wrong manual. I ended up calling Yamaha Customer Service, talked to a real nice lady who took the time (while I waited on the phone) to find out what had happened. She told me they were premature listing the 06 manuals and they would take the listing off of the internet...
