I have a 2006 AE and I love it. Really love it. I went AE simply because it was the first FJR that I found that met all my criteria ( very low mileage, etc.). I would make the same purchase again in a heartbeat. The only thing I would do differently would be to get the Yamaha Warranty. I...

After owning my FJR for two weeks I departed on a 1000+ mile ride. Within 45 minutes of starting I thought my wrist was going to explode. I stopped at a bike shop picked up a Crampbuster throttle assist device and haven't looked back! I have not tried all the other higher end options, already...

The Harley conversion thing almost makes this a therapy group! I rode a Wide Glide for 12 years before moving on to the FJR. My HD was bulletproof and I cannot complain but my FJR has excited me about riding again. Commuting to work used to be punishment...now it's therapy. After spending...

I commute on a 2006AE. I used to commute on Harley Dyna. I now can barely remember what 'clutch cramps' were! I haven't ridden a clutched FJR but simply A vs. AE isn't an issue for me. I'm not old, don't have arthritis, don't have metal pieces in my hand, etc. I simply found an AE for a...

Bad post date monitoring...ignore :(

Chrismas Update. I decided to dedicate a chunk of time today to try and make some progess on my SH_48 issue. Essentially my plan was to ensure the bike was in a no-doubt warmed-up status and complete another TBS. Here's a recap: Started up at ambient 32 degrees. On start idle was 1000 and...

The new boots are in good shape and in place. I conducted my 600 mile sync IAW https://fjrtech.com/getdbitem.cfm?item=21 using a Carbtune Pro with hose restrictors on the engine side. For my first sync I had to adjust #3 because I was bottoming out #2 trying to get it up to match #3. I've...

Thanks for the reply. I am think I am guilty of trying to get the idle down prior to 4 bars of temp. I had been going with 2 bars. That said I started the bike this morning (45 degs) and let it run until the fan turned on (5+ mins). Same deal, it ran for 60 seconds or so before the idle...

TB replacement is looming due to inability to lower idle and code SH_48. Anyone replace the TBs on their own? I'm out of warranty and options are me or park the bike for a long time to save for the dealership maint costs.

I think I'm at the end of my options. My service manual is pretty clear that if I hav SH_48 and can't lower the idle then I need to replace the throttle bodies. I just have a hard time believing an essentially new bike ~2000 miles would be a lemon. I guess stranger things have happened...

Update: During a recent morning commuute my problem occurred again. At the first stop I got a momentary error flicker and then steady. Error Sh_48. I returned home. Service manual said adjust idle or throttle body problem. I did a TBS and found the adjustment screws almost completely in. I...

I'm 6'2" and had the exact same dilemma. I was looking at the sport tourers and the Tiger. The Sprint's seating was too agressive for me but the Tiger was "real nice" (Cousin Eddie). I then sat on the FJR and that was it for me...perfect. My opinion was also that parts and maintenance might...

I figured I'd post my ongoing flat issues in case they are relevant to anyone's road kits or other experiences. I recently picked up a slim nail/tack. I've exclusively used slime in the past so I figured I give it a go again until I could get a new tire. I removed the tack and followed the...

I haven't been able to replicate the problem so I'm still in observe status. Several observations from the posts. I recently had to adjust idle up a bit because it was a little low, I was warming up on uneven ground, and I have since checked YCC oil level which was low. I'm now speculating the...

Barry - in my rambling post I didn't mention this was kickstand down and bike stopped. Essentially it was first thing in the morning just firing it up to warm it up. Now that I think about it I would have had to have it in neutral to prevent the ignition cut-off. Regardless, I'm pretty sure...

I recently took my beloved (and I mean that seriously) 2006 FJR on a 1400 mile MA-NH-VT-ME round trip to complete my break-in, with 12 buddies.* In the morning I would crank it up to get my two bars of warmness and on two occasions I got the Shift Warning light and the bike wouldn't shift at...
