    New 2009 AE or 2012 A

    I have a 2007 AE and I feel conflicted about the auto clutch. Last summer I rode hard and fast on some awesome curvy roads here in Colorado and I loved having that finger switch to flick through gears. It was fun and I definitely was able to ride harder and faster with it than on my previous...

    2012 Yamaha YZF-R1

    July 2012 edition of Motorcyclist magazine page 24 shows a picture of the 2013 FJR1400. Same magazine has a review of the YZF-R1 where one guy wrote: "The Yamaha has the best traction control and a great motor, but the harsh throttle response and underseat 'birth-control pipes' overshadow any...

    Another "rough running" problem

    Ok, so I, who also live in Denver btw, have been having the exact same problem. I would add one other thing which is that sometimes I have the problem where it feels like the engine is under more than normal load and even the tiniest change in throttle makes the bike ride like a bucking bronco...

    Stalling and erratic idle

    I have this exact same problem. I'm glad I was able to find this answer. I just got mine back from the shop and it still does it!

    Heli HRT076-02 install.

    So, I just finished doing this for my 07 AE. I LOVE it. This mod is very much worth doing. I did take my tank off as I would not have been able to use my torque wrench on the stem nut. I also didn't have to worry about scratching it. The hardest part of the job for me was drilling out the...

    what torque tools do I need?

    I am about to install a Heli triple clamp on my 07 AE. This is the first work I've done on the bike, but plan to do some other things in the future as well. What torque tools should I buy to cover what I need to do? Thanks, Matt.

    Will G2 Throttle and Heli Risers work together?

    I tried doing a search, but no luck after 40 min of getting distracted. I am planning to get both the new Heli Risers for my 2007AE and the G2 Throttle because this throttle whiplash thing is really making me unhappy. I'd also like to sit a little more straight up and down. Can I use both of...

    Shoei RF 1000

    I HATE my Shoei RF-1000. I had a Shoei RF-800 and I liked it very much. But my brand new 1000 whistles like crazy. I've tried putting plastic tape around various areas that I thought might cause the whistle, but I can't find it. I think it is where the plastic windscreen meets the helmet, but I...
