    AE shifting question

    It will allow you to shift without letting off the throttle, but that's not ideal. You should relax the throttle slightly when shifting and it will be buttery smooth.

    2009 FJR1300AE, LOW MILES, MANY FARKLES

    Beautiful bike! Too bad I already have one or I'd jump on this. I don't see an ad on craigslist. Is it out there somewhere? The right amount of marketing will get this bike sold quick!

    Help? YCCS clutch engagement adjustment procedure

    Wow. I'm surprised there isn't more detail in the manual. All this time I thought you guys were holding out on me. j/k I'll play around with it again later and report back if I can make something happen.

    Help? YCCS clutch engagement adjustment procedure

    I lowered the idle and that helped but I really want to adjust the engagement RPM. I'm confused about the adjustment procedure because it didn't work. I can get to Sh_66 but when I toggle the upshift button, there is no light to confirm that it made the adjustment. I tried once, four times...

    Help? YCCS clutch engagement adjustment procedure

    I would normally agree about the cable slack but I really wasn't happy with the extra slack it had when I bought the bike. Now it appears to be adjusted correctly and I'm happy with where it's at. My idle appears to hover around 1050RPM, as indicated by the tach. I tried to reduce it lower...

    Help? YCCS clutch engagement adjustment procedure

    I definitely will. Hopefully I'll get time for it tonight or tomorrow. Life is busy.... In fact I think if this procedure was simplified, more people would want to experiment it. If there is enough interest maybe I'll post it on youtube.... As someone else had also reported previously, my...

    Help? YCCS clutch engagement adjustment procedure

    I have a 2007 AE. I'm trying to adjust the YCCS engagement RPM. Need help from those that have done it before or have the service manual handy. I jumped the diagnostic plug under the glove box and I am following this procedure...

    Soft Contacts and Riding

    I used to wear contacts and never had issues as long as I rode with a full face helmet. I was usually fine if I kept the wind off my eyes. Some wetting drops in the tankbag helped if they got irritated. Blowing dust was my worst enemy. I look at a computer screen all day and stopped wearing...

    Money can't buy happiness but....

    infrared, that's amazing. I've always wanted to glide but never had the chance. How would one get into the sport?

    2006 ABS Issues

    +1 Or maybe +2 Was this just a guess from the guy standing at the service counter or an actual quote based on someone getting their hands dirty? More detail would be helpful. Such as, if the rear brake locked up on you, how did you get it back to the dealer? Did you ride it or tow it? Was...

    Givi V46 liner

    Instead of a liner, I'd like to find an 'organizer' for my Givi trunk. Something like this: https://www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/tour-master-select-trunk-lid-organizer-honda-gold-wing-2001-2014 Does anyone make such a thing for the Givi trunks? I would also be especially interested in pics of...

    90* valve stem issue

    I don't use 90 degree valve stems anymore. A 90 degree valve stem left me stranded on the reservation between Page, AZ and Jacob Lake. Middle of nowhere in the AZ summer heat, 20+ miles from cell phone reception, on the Friday afternoon before a long holiday weekend. 30 minutes later the...

    Popping sound when lifting to center stand

    LOL! That got me laughing. :) Maybe it would be helpful to setup a video camera and record it from both the left and right sides. You could replay the video in slow motion and identify the exact point in the process when the POP occurs.

    Darn inflation....

    Cup Holders

    +1 on the Camelbak. Love mine. I also know a few guys that use Butler cups. They're insulated, easy to mount and are made for motorcycles. Here's a link: https://www.glassact.com/

    Long Distance Riding - Dealing With Fatigue

    This is a good topic! Aside from the examples above, what specific advice might you experienced riders give to fellow riders to help them learn to identify their own signs of fatigue? Or, in other words, you don't know what you don't know until you know it, so how do you know it?
