Unfortunately, I don't have the active-7 or a 2820. I have the Super-Pro Avi and a Zumo. But what I did was to connect a normal 3.5mm jack plugged cable to the output on the Zumo cradle to Aux 2 on the Autocom. Then, no issues at all. So, have you tried just a normal hi-fi cable? The reason I...

I've got a 550 and it works OK - so any reports must be specific to that person... One thing you MAY need to consider - is it waterproof. So far, there are only two GPS units which are designed for a motorcycle - and therefore ARE waterproof - they are the Garmin Zumo (500 or 550) and the...

But to use a spacer, you have to extend the bolts. How are you going to do that? Alan

I think some of the OP's assumptions are off. He says "Trail the brakes into a bend and the front might skid". 2 points: 1. The linked bit only comes on if you push the rear brake pedal HARD - so normal trailing will not get the front working. 2. Even if it does, the front won't skid - the ABS...

I have both sat in the garage. An '07 FJR and an '07 Bandit 1250S (the faired one). They are different beasts but will both do everything. The first thing about the Bandit is the awesome acceleration. Up to around 90 it beats most things on the market - including the FJR. It runs out of "puff"...

I've had my seat lowered and taken in. Pictures are here: https://www.bikersoracle.com/fjr/forum/showthread.php?t=248 Alan

I have one - but I live in England. Not sure a) How much the postage would be and B) How you pay me..... Alan

Weird. I downloaded the bulletin as a PDF from a link on this forum. It says "Affected Range" FJR1300AV/AW RP15E-0000003 ~ 0004056 FJR1300AVC/AWC RP15Y-0000001 ~ 0000744 FJR1300AEV/AEW RP16E-0000006 ~ 0001212 FJR1300AEVC/AEWC RP16Y-0000005 ~ 0000226

I didn't see anywhere on the tech bulletin (I got a copy of the real thing) where it says "approx". But I can well believe that the VIN numbers are USA based. As to contacts - personally, I have never needed one before now. I'm on my 4th FJR and this is the first time anything has happened like...

We have one rider who definitely does (Ian) and one who may (me - it did it in the Pyrnees but I wacked the throttle wide open as soon as I felt anything so I sort of got around it). Thanks for the info Alan

I have a question regarding the VIN numbers. I am in the UK with an '07 bike which I purchased in July. It was new off the boat - hadn't been standing around in the shop or anything. The Vin number starts with JYARP131 and ends with 7721. This seems to be well outside any range that is...

Off topic (a bit). Where can I see Agirl's diaries? Sounds interesting Alan

Is this conversation primarily about the AE? I have the "Normal" '07 and I don't see any of this. it "snicks" into first gear (no clunk) and all changes up and down are silky smooth. Alan

Won't they get the old ECU's back and reprogram them? Alan

I experienced the surge when I went on holiday in Spain. No issues here in England. I contacted my dealer - but basically I said I wanted it fixing before my next holiday abroad - next July. He was quite understanding !!!! Alan

Personally, I would always go with the latest. I had an 06 and changed it for an 07. Now, I know there are suppoed to be no differences - but I would not swap back for all the tea in china. It's a different bike. Maybe it's just Yamaha improving the quality control - who knows? But mine has a...

I haven't read all the posts - but she should really consider the new Bandit 1250 with ABS. My wife has one (and I may get one as a second bike soon). Seat height is adjustable - it has as much EFFECTIVE power as the FJR (less power, much less weight), it has ABS, you can get full Givi luggage...

He fits the front wheel??? Oh sh** - I'd better check that out....

Everytime I look at my bike, I find more things the dealer or Yamaha either didn't do or did badly. So, does anyone know how the bike arrives from Yamaha and what the dealer does before he hands it over? Thanks Alan
