    AE paddle shifter button bypass...the thing that keeps your button green

    I had the same thing happen to my button as well. Luckily it broke off in a spot so that there was still enough of something to push on so I could still turn it off and on. I was able to get it replaced under YES without any problems.

    AE paddle shifter button bypass...the thing that keeps your button green

    I think that this might be the device that you are thinking of. I was thinking about getting this device, but never did. So, I can't offer any more help than the link. Eric

    Heads Up: Rte. 138 south of Crater Lake has issues

    We were up there Friday. We were going to take 138 in, but because of the fires we had to go further south and come in on the back side. It was a nice ride, but kind of cold and on the way down from the crater the fog was so bad that we could barely see 20 feet in front of us. Definitely had to...

    CISSP?

    I agree with all that GunMD said. I did basically the same thing. I had worked with security for a few years and then I went to the boot camp. The boot camp was a good refresher of all of the different domains and allowed me to focus on that and nothing else for a week and then I took the 6 hour...

    I use Showtime cleaner. It works well and does the one spray clean and shine that you are looking for. Eric

    Finally needed new gloves

    I agree that they are very nice gloves. They do take a while to break in.

    Computer MPG vs Actual MPG

    I have found the bike computer to usually be 5-10 MPG over the calculator on my 06AE. I reset the average MPG reading after every fill-up.

    Moto Port - Cycle Port Racing Gloves

    I have a pair of these gloves coming. I have tried on a pair that a friend of mine ordered. They are nice gloves. We are going on a week lon ride in a couple of weeks. I will let you know how they do.

    DESPERATELY NEED HELP in Seattle!

    Renton MC is where I take my FJR for service. I emailed Terry with kudos as well. I also asked whether he could provide any info on whether this issue could be avoided. Eric

    ? on price

    Which model are you looking at? A or AE? I assume A, but not positive. I just purchased an 06 AE with 4500 miles and extras such as Power Commander, electronic cruise, and smuggler for $10K. Eric

    Sumner/Puyallup/Tacoma Wa. Area Dealerships

    I take mine to Renton Motorcycles and have been satisfied with their service. I have also used Rainier Yamaha in Spanaway in the past for my Royal Star. They are a small shop though and I don't know how many FJR's they have seen. I have also used I-90 Motorsports in the past and was not too...

    Steering stiff and doesn't feel right

    I haven't had a chance to really try it out in a turn at speed. I was afraid to try since it felt so odd. At slow speed it definitely doesn't "fall in". I fell like I am contantly wrestling with it to get it to lean. It seems like I have to put way too much pressure on it to make it turn and...

    Steering stiff and doesn't feel right

    Thanks. I tried that and it seems to turn smoothly and easily. While I was ther looked at the tires again. Both the front and the rear feel like they are squared off some in the middle. Would this casue the problem that I am seeing? From what I am reading, having a squared off tire is a sign of...

    Steering stiff and doesn't feel right

    I have an 06 AE that I purchased used a few months ago. It has about 4500 miles on it. When I ride it the steering feels really stiff, especially at low speed. I had another 06 AE previously that I purchased new so I know how it is supposed to feel and can tell a difference. It feels as if the...

    Preferred Service shops; Western Washington ?

    I use Renton Motorcycles, but that is probably a little too far south for you. I would stay away from Lynnwood Motoplex. I think that some others on the forum have had some dealings with Adventure Motorsports. I talked to their sales when I was looking for a new FJR and they were reasonable to...
