Tire wear is more of a coeffecient of friction issue -- more on the Acceleration part of the formula. So this would be more affected by acceleration, braking, and the 'roughness' or surface texture of the road. Most of the formula's for determining this are based on empiracle data. Wiki Link...

assuming a linear change in mass to fuel economy (as F= M x A): New weight + FJR Weight (est. 650#) ---------------------------------------------------- = % mass reduction Original Weight + FJR Weight (650#) take original fuel economy / % mass reduction = new fuel economy ( you could...

The only negative observed on the Gen II FJRs is the possibility that during a slide, the frame slider grabs the road and ends up breaking the frame flange. IIRC There have been 3 posts with frame damage, and all 3 were solid aluminum sliders. After some discussion, skyway added the delrin ®...

Cold Cranking Amps. The definition of the Cold-Cranking Amperage (CCA) of an automotive battery is the amount of current a given battery can deliver for 30 seconds at zero (0) degrees F without dropping below a specified cutoff voltage (manufacturer-specific, but usually 10.5 volts).

It depends on the price you can get the Y.E.S. for. Check the bin-o-facts link and search for either "YES" or "Y.E.S." The FJR is quite an expensive and complicated motorcycle, so if you have problems the Y.E.S. could pay for itself quickly. I have the Y.E.S extended warranty. (FWIW -- it...

Interesting. I got rid of a Tahoe for the same reason -- I didn't like the electronic 4WD, and switched it for a manual shift Dodge (it has a NV271-D transfer case). I agree. If you like it.... ride it. FOR ME: a track bike, or all-out sport bike -- I want to control the clutch 100%, i'd...

UMotors has apparently changed their pricing policy, Link

If you want custom, try SYED Leathers They can make one for you at a decent price, it's a very small shop near Orlando, FL. (I have no affiliation)

you are quite welcome! I learned a lot from this board (back then you had to order and wait for your FJR -- so I had to order in September, and was not able to pick up my FJR until July), and wanted to try to give something back to those that gave to me. Really --- it's hats off ALL of those...

I know what you're thinking. Did he fire six shots or only five? Well to tell you the truth in all this excitement I've kinda lost track myself. But being this is a .44 Magnum - the most powerful hand gun in the world and would blow...

FJRFencer, I have the one-piece kevlar mesh. If you lose a buch of weight, you can come on down to Troy, pick it up, and try it out for a while! Actually -- I don't recall if you tried it on when you were here, but it may fit you. Trying it out for a while beats the heck out of others opinions.

bump to find someone to keep this post updated.... come on now -- you get alot from the forum, how about one of you helmet guru's take this and run with it!

sticky string plug. Don't use it for a track-day (of course), and don't try to set any 1/4 mile records. If, and by your post you are, you are worried about it, just replace it -- then you don't have to worry about the plug.

I am a current AE owner, and if I were to get another FJR -- it would be the AE model. I have no regrets!

hey hello, I have an 06 AE, with the ECU swapped (surge bulletin), G2 Cam, and spring unwound. I like it just fine, and have noticed zero affect on the YCCS (AE shifting), and no issues. Also on the ECU swap, I think Fencer had a problem that ended up being a defective replacment ECU -- I...

Nice write-up! (I added a link in the luggage area in the bin-o-facts)
