    pdp transfer

    I may be dense here but ... To continue with the example the dealer takes a deposit and his parts account is charged. The dealer is effectively not OUT anything at this point. 500 in and 500 out. Did anyone out there have their credit card charge or check made payable to Yammy Motor Corp? I...

    pdp transfer

    RELAX!!!!! You CLEARLY received several responses/suggestions. That the dealer you are working with doesn't care to work with you is YOUR problem. As long as the dealer isn't stuck with losing the deposit I don't see why they would care but it is up to them I guess as the language indicates...

    pdp transfer

    Just need to find another buyer and have that buyer also give the deposit to the dealer and then the dealer can refund yours. If the dealer doesn't want to do that then have the buyer take over your deal as is using your deposit and then they can give you the difference outside the dealer...

    Question for 06 purchasers...purchase price

    I agree you are working at a disadvantage after the PDP is over. So a good price is going to be one that actually gets you a AE ( this year ) and you can live with paying. Something only you can really answer. Hope you like the AE.

    Intercoms

    Autocom is another name that comes up very frequently. I have read it is a step up over chatterbox, equal or a little better than starcom. More expensive than both the others. I have not used any of them but I am also looking as well.

    Side Case Dimension

    Great, that should work for me. From the photos on Yamaha site the bags looked deep enough to carry for a couple days. I was wondering if I would be able to fit my riding jacket ( with pads ) for everyday use. Looks like it should be no problem. Thanks again.

    Cycle World - Speed Wagons

    This article gave me enough positive feedback to get me off the fence and on to the waiter list. It does seem the fjr does most thing very well. Certainly well enough for the style of riding I generally do.

    '06 Instrumentation

    I would rather have a digital readout myself. I would agree that it seems a bit small. It seems it would be hard to accurately tell what speed you are going at a glance.

    Dealing with the dealers

    Lol, you my friend have a knack for speaking to the heart of the issue in a meaningful and straightforward manner. I don’t know how you spend your days but I see limitless potential for you in Public Service.

    Dealing with the dealers

    Those are good consumer principles to keep in mind and to live by. There was a study done, I don’t remember who exactly but will look it up if your interested, that basically said “trust” goes up almost linearly with the price you allow someone to charge you for most any product. Paying extra...

    Dealing with the dealers

    I am with you on this one. I really don’t understand these guys that call several dealers and let them know they are interested in buying a product that they all sell. Really crazy when you let them all know you will be contacting their competitors and will purchase from the dealer in which you...

    '06 Instrumentation

    I believe that is where the "safe to downshift" light goes for the AE.

    Conclusions

    This is a interesting point. One that is used on any type of forum automotive related that I visit. The idea is that people that are happy and problem free don't need to seek out others for questions or support. I would certainly say that there are a certain percentage of owners that do indeed...

    Turbo Busa

    Second that. Way too easy to get someone else hurt. How about blowing by another bike in the same lane. How much time you think that guy had to see them comin? Surprise alone could have caused a accident.

    Yamaha offers info on AE

    Yea, good question. I have to assume that a relationship between crank speed and trans gear could probably tell you if the tire will break traction or put the engine in danger of damage. Not a Engineer so just a guess here. If it does work ( well ) would be great because you wouldn’t be able...

    Did I get one of the last new '05 FJRs?

    There is two new 05 A's at Chicago Cycle in Skokie, IL. for anyone looking. Asking 11,800 but they seemed ready to deal.

    Yamaha offers info on AE

    That's what I was hoping to hear. I think then ( at least hope ) the same should be true for the AE. Although it is a little longer and heavier so will have to wait and see.

    Yamaha offers info on AE

    It may be model year issue. Mine is a 05 and several others I have looked at are the same. HD redesigned the clutch lever/spring for the entire Touring line for 2006. It is now 40% easier then the previous generations. I could mod my bike ( they sell a retro kit ) but it may be going this fall...
