Your kidding, right?
I guess the short quick description is an "electronic jet kit." It modifies the fuel injector trigger command from the ECU to add fuel in specific ranges. These are popular among the HD V-rod guys. I had no idea how if would perform with the O2 sensor connected,, but I am very happy with the performance.
A device which modifies the fuel injection. Generally adding more gas than stock. Along the same lines as a PCIII, but it does not have near the capability of the PCIII, nor does it cost as much as the PCIII.
Guy's I just had to send a message to all you guy's and girl's if I did not read your posts about the barbarian mod and do it last night I was going to trade this bike in today with 1.500 miles on it I didn't like it THAT much. If anyone out there with the Herky-Jerky's at low speed and hasn't done this mod I would suggest this mod. At this point it feels so much better I will keep it.
cartfj40, one item I've found to do that has helped the herky-jerky is when shifting don't take your time to do the shift. Not to speed shift but cut any hesitation between shifts. And also with some of the mods mentioned to help solve this problem make sure your idle is set right and maybe even a little up. Hope this helped, PM. <><
Sorry bout that Fred. I thought the jerkiness you spoke of was when between shifts especially 1st and 2nd. I've never experienced the problem you are talking about. Have been able to ride around with no problems what so ever at low speed. Even before I did the center spring mod. PM. <><
Well, yes you can do it, but it takes an extreme amount of throttle control, and very little throttle movement on the 06 translates to a huge amount of RPM change due to the progressive pulley at the lower end.I've never experienced the problem you are talking about.

Many riders adjust to it, and you may not notice it after a while, but you really don't have good (precise) control of the engine RPM in the first 1/4 or 1/3 of throttle movement. A movement as little as 1mm can vary the engine RPM by as much as 4K rpm in the lower ranges. A good rider can adjust to it over time, but that doesn't make it right.
******* I hate agreeing with you, Skoot, (Well, yes you can do it, but it takes an extreme amount of throttle control, and very little throttle movement on the 06 translates to a huge amount of RPM change due to the progressive pulley at the lower end.I've never experienced the problem you are talking about.

Fred, you seem to be on a crusade with this issue. Have you ever considered that it is a non-issue for many 06 owners? Perhaps there are other conditions leading to the symptons besides the pulley, such as a lean fuel injection curve, or even a combination of factors which makes your FJR worse than most. Or, perhaps your are just more sensitive than most. It matters not. I am not knocking your efforts to fix a problem that you, and others perceive. Good on you for coming up with a creative solution to your problem.
But you seem to be hyper-sensitive to the issue and needing to convince others they have a problem when they say they don't. When others claim they don't have an issue, you seem to think they do, but they have just learned to live with it and it's still there and a problem. Who are you to tell them what they are experiencing? Perhaps it doesn't take them "an extreme amount of throttle control" to operate their FJR smoothly. Perhaps they do have "good (precise) throttle control". Perhaps FJRs are different in this respect. Perhaps its all the rider. Most likely a combination of both.
Your an intelligent, and helpful guy who came up with an ingenious fix to a problem you perceived with your FJR. But may I suggest you stop trying to convince everybody the sky is falling? Don't take this issue so personally. Just because some don't agree with you on this issue, does not make their own experience or opinion any less valid or accurate. No doubt your creative fix will help some, maybe even many. But that doesn't mean ALL 06 owners need it.
Keep up the good work though.
)but your analysis is spot on...and applies equally to the "50mph Wobble" I've written about. Sure, 100% of every FJR I've ever driven wobbled at 50mph like Foster Brooks on ball bearings, but enough folks have replied their FJRs DON'T wobble, so the issue certainly ISN'T a model-specific problem, as I'm sure the '06 throttle isn't a problem with every FJR out there.
