ionbeam, I'll also add (3) more check valves and connections next time tank is off. I thought that part of the install would be a PITA, but it's really straight forward. Not sure that it's really needed, but I'll do it anyway. Other than the low speed lurching (which again is no biggie for...

Check all your connections again. As someone previously mentioned, make sure that the Black & Gray (together) wires that you cut are insulated from each other. Your coil connection is good or else your bike wouldn't run. Check throttle linkage clamp to make sure you're not pinching the servo...

If everything lights up and no blown fuse, then I'd say a bad vacuum connection, or possibly a kink in the vacuum line. I'll assume you did not use the black & gray (wrapped together) wires from the servo unit. Those are not needed. Perharps for whatever reason, you need more than one vacuum...

I'm All In .......(nice little word play there, don't you think).......for this screen. The stock on an '06 is horrible. I have to lay on the tank to hear the exhaust. I'm afraid to use my Starcom as the volume would have to be so loud.

Thanks to all that contribue to this board, with special mention to Warchild, Radman, Skyway & Garauld for the invaluable info and farkles. The AVCC install was straight forward, except for the minor changes (listed above) to accomodate the '06. I went for a nice 100 mile test ride and the CC...

Well boys and girls, it's now test ride time. The final assembly went relatively smooth. All electrical connections were straight forward with no surprises. I di have to relocate the throttle cable clamp. Originally, the clamp was mounted vertically, next to the air valve. However, it was...

Update for those of you that will be tackling this farkle on an '06. The brake light harness must be different on the '06. I couldn't get anything out of the brown plug on the right side of the bike. So I cut open the harness going to the tail light assembly and tapped in there. Red wire...

It's Cinqo de Mayo.......we should be partying. Radman is right and I need to edit my post, I bought an 8mm and 6mm bold and used the 6mm, not the 8mm as previously mentioned. I re-installed the fuel rail and the servo cable will have to be moved toward the front of the bike in the cable...

Thanks to Radman's quick response, we're back on track. Here's a few notes for those of you who will be installing the CC. No need to drill a big (5/32") hole in the tang as you won't be using the bolt from the kit. I used an 8mm bolt, 1/4" long with a nylon locking nut. Do not tighten this...

Drilled throttle tang. Red stuff is Loctite. This is the air valve that's in the way on the '06. I wedged the mounting plate between the cables and the valve, but it is very tight and under a lot of tension. Probably not a good idea to mount this way. End of servo cable with bead chain...

Radman just called.....thanks Rad........pictures on the way.

Also posted in Techincal Section...! I'm in the process of installing the Audiovox cruise control and I have a little issue. I'm following the directions posted on FJRinfo.com. Bike is '06, servo will be mounted under seat. Drilled throttle tang. Installed bead chain. When I snap open the...

WTF is a "Connie" and is she more fun to ride than an FJR? Please......somebody anlighten me!

I'm in Chattanooga, Tn, about (2) hours north of Atlanta. You're welcomed to take my '06 for a ride if time permits. I'm also 37, sold my BMW K1200LT and R1 and now have a bike that can satisfy all my street moto needs!

ScrapeApe, Red Barchetta, definetely one of my favorite Rush songs. I hear Neil Peart is quite the motorcycle enthusiast and always has a couple of bikes with him on the road. BTW, is that a '54 166MM? Nice...very nice...!

When I moved to Signal Mountain a few years back, I had (3) street bikes. It gave me a great excuse to ride all of them. I refused to rent a trailer, instead I'd ride one, fly home, ride another, fly home again and ride the last one. Oh the joy....! Now, the cages got towed by the moving...

I also have a D600, so all is good. Thanks for the info. Now I can work in the evening and write-off the miles. I might make a little cash on this trip........!

Well, the wait is almost over. Tony (Yamaha Sportscenter - Texarkana) called me with the big news.........my bike is in. I'm renting a one way car next Monday, driving to Texarkana and will ride my bike home, taking the scenic routes. I estimate I'll have a couple thousand miles by the time I...
