    Buying PC-III

    +1 I got mine from sportbikeeffects.

    Power Commander for the FJR... in a nutshell, what are the gains?

    My mileage has actually been better so far since installing the PCIII. Before the PCIII with the barbarian mod +5 I was getting about 38mpg. I only have 1 good ride since installing the PCIII and setting the CO settings back to stock, but I am getting about 47mpg now. We'll see if that continues.

    Movie Review

    +1. I try to go see him live whenever he passes by here. He is hilarious. The video is great too.

    my PCIII opinion

    Did you have both the PC and the Pump Utility software open at the same time? I had this same issue at first. You have to close the PCIII software, open the Pump Utility software and enable the Accel Pump feature. Then you can close the pump utility software, open the PCIII software and set the...

    Sargent Seat for 06/07 FJR

    I have been waiting for this to be released and I am trying to decide on the Sargent or a custom seat from Rich's Custom Seats in Seattle. Those that have this seat or the previous Sargent seats, would you get a custom seat or does the Sargent give you everything that you need. The Sargent is...

    05 vs 06..will I need to change the seat and screen??

    It usually comes down to personal preference, but I know there are a lot of members here, including myself, that have or will be changing out the seat and the screen on their 06/07. Others feel that they don't need to.

    Good Puget Sound Dealer?

    I think that most of the responses that you will get will say that you should go over to Yakima/Prosser and visit Desert Valley Powersports. I haven't been there personally, but they have gotten good reviews. I bought mine from Lynnwood Motoplex and I can tell you that I would NOT recommend...

    2006 Ignition switch failure

    I found that the wire coming out of the ignition had 1 ty-wrap to attach it to a small hole on the ignition switch and another ty-wrap that was used to bind the larger wire loom to the ignition wire. Are these the 2 ty-wraps that you say need to be loosened? Mine were pretty tight as well.

    Creative Zen 8GB mp3 player ?

    My only caution is that the Zen Micro is a hard drive based player. Myself and a brother in law had the 5GB Zen Micro. Last year we went on a week long ride. About 4 days in to the ride, his Zen crapped out and lost all of the music on there. We were able to reload everything, but I don't think...

    AE owners - Factory heated grips evaluation

    They work great for me. I have grip puppies over mine and they still get very warm. I don't usually turn them up past half way.

    Any FJRs in Olympia, Centralia, Chehalis, Longview, or

    G2 Ergo Throttle Tube and Cam

    I just ordered a G2 this week. Does anyone know whether this helps the stiff throttle spring issue as well or should that still be loosened 1 turn? Thanks.

    G2 Ergo Throttle Tube and Cam

    Rickster, What did you do to get the grips off? I have read the many posts about using a screwdriver or something to pry off the grip, but I am afraid to do that with the heating elements in there? What did you do? What has to be done to move the heating element to the new tube? Do you just...

    Computer experts?

    It makes an exact image of what is on the source drive/partition. So, yes it would copy any problems you have from an old install such as orphaned programs and registry issues. If the corruption is at the hardware level then it wouldn't copy that type of corruption. If it is time for a clean...

    Can a vendor post?

    This sounds good. What all is involved in the install? Do I hear a group buy coming or should I just go ahead and order it? Eric

    It's all mine now.

    I'm not sure if it is too far away for you but there is a class in May in Olympia, WA. I am signed up for that class. https://www.pugetsoundsafety.com/leeparks_schedule.asp

    Lee Parks ARC and AE

    I am signed up to take the Lee Parks ARC class in May. I have an AE that I got last season. Is there anything that I specifically should practice ahead of time to be sure that I get the most out of the class? I have the book and have read it once and will probably read it again before the class...

    Paint protection - VentureShield

    I saw an ad for a paint protection system called VentureShield at my dealer. It seems to be similar to tankslapper and the like. It looks like it would be comparable to 3M. I'm not sure on the cost yet. They have an FJR pattern, and it can be installed if it is too much of pain to work with...

    Renton Motorcycles

    Drew, I have been there quite a few times and they have done all of the service on my FJR. I haven't really worked with the sales dept because they wouldn't let me test ride an FJR when I was looking. I assume that you will be dealing mainly with their service dept anyway and they have been...
