    Should I install a Power Commander 3

    El Toro, I have to disagree with you on this one. I've been rideing for over 30 years and have never been uncomfortable on a bike in corners before. The on/off throttle jerkyness on the 06 fej is real and after 10k miles, as much as I love everything else about the bike, I was seriously...

    What shield are 5'6" 30"inseam with Day Long and risers running?

    I agree, when talking about wind screen, your inseam means nothing, if talking about seat hieght thats another story but If you include your inseam and standing hieght then it should give a measure of how high your head is above the seat or in relation to the windscreen. I'm 5'7, 30" inseam...

    2008 FJR 1300 AE

    I thought Parking lots where a challenge when I first got the AE. Not any more. I think I actually have better slow speed control now then with a clutch.. The trick is to slow enough so that bike disengages the clutch, then add throttle back in just enough to have the clutch reingage and slip...

    kickstand ???

    I think just being aware the kickstand is a point of concern is enough to keep you safe. I'm very consious of it and just make sure its fully deployed, I also pull back on the handlebars as I step off just to assure the bike doesnt try to move forward as I'm stepping off. It all becomes second...

    Had to lay her down....

    I think a kid in a wheel chair is worth more points then another bike. Forget laying down the bike, you should have went for the points! OK, even I think my comment was just wrong. Geezer, as long as your alright and no one got hurt, then who cares what everyone has to say.

    2008 FJR 1300 AE

    I dont have the 08 but I love that color. I saw it at a dealer. Its shiney, looks just like the dark grey metalic that they use on the R6, very nice. I was bummed when I saw it as I just bought my leftover 06 AE a year ago. A friend has the gray R6 and my wish was that the AE was that color...

    California Sport Touring

    I'm not exactly thrilled with them. I had ordered a Morgan Carb Tune on 7/21/08 along with the Storage Pouch. I also paid and additional $17.00 for 3 day select delivery. My order was processed and the total was $139.06 including shipping. No problem there but after 2 days I never got any...

    AE????????

    Huh? snap the throttle and your front wheel is off the ground! The AE is made for you buddy, no dealing with the clutch in hwy traffic, youd love it. You still can control the clutch but its a matter of throttle position, hard to explain but it becomes 2nd nature real quick. I love the 08...

    MPG After PCIII install

    Radical are you running the one for this bike config. Stock exhaust Stock air filter Stock O2 sensor disconnected I have orderedr a K&N but its back ordered. And did it fix your abrupt throttle on/off? Sounds like you didnt really take much of a hit in MPG department.

    MPG After PCIII install

    I installed my PCIII a couple of weeks ago that I bought as part of the group buy. I loaded this map Wally Holeshots Combo Map into the PCIII. It worked really good to smooth the throttle and it def added some umff through out the entire throttle range. But....... I went from 43mpg to 36mpg...

    Horizontal Play in Throttle

    Yes, thats how it works. When you turn the TM to lock the throttle a brass fitting presses against the throttle tube and forces it against the casement. The thing is that brass fitting only come out 1/8 of an inch or so. If you had any more slop than that th TM would do nothing. I think we...

    Advice please

    OMG, take her shopping and get her somthing more bike friendly. If she's gonna be mad over somthing like this then settle for a REASONABLE 240# and dont stress over loosing a women that probably isnt worth having to begin with.

    Horizontal Play in Throttle

    I didnt even catch that, Solo is right, with that much play the TM would not work at all. By the way, I do have a TM installed as well and the less slop tou have in there the better for the TM

    Dealers

    Sorry Bogey, not the case. I paid a premium for my bike. 17k OTD for and 06 just over a year ago including extended warrentee. Probably a record for highest amt paid for a left over Fej. (Not exactly the best shopper around) And if you choose to bend over and take it when the dealer treats you...

    Horizontal Play in Throttle

    1/4 to 1/2 inch doesnt sound right at all. That seems like an awful lot. I've really never noticed any play in previous bikes that I've owned and the Fej maybe as much as 1/16 but probably even less, I didnt measure but it barely moves.
