I got the same answer from Tony in Texarkana. My Bike may be in towards end of June. Bikes seem to end up at the highest volume dealers first!
I placed my order on 9/28/06 at my local small volume dealer and the bike came in on 06/06/2006.I got the same answer from Tony in Texarkana. My Bike may be in towards end of June. Bikes seem to end up at the highest volume dealers first!
On the contrary, Renaa at D&H was referring to special treatment from Yamaha puts them at the BOTTOM end of priority shipments. I don't think anyone sells more FJR's that D&H. Now Yamahas sold total may be someone else. But D&H is very high volumn and because of their steep discounts, Yamaha is actually delaying their shipments. Doesn't make any sense to me for them to ding one of their better selling dealers.I got the same answer from Tony in Texarkana. My Bike may be in towards end of June.

I know that on initial non FJR orders for instance an FZ1, the larger dealers got 6 bikes and the smaller guys who wanted 10 got 2.On the contrary, Renaa at D&H was referring to special treatment from Yamaha puts them at the BOTTOM end of priority shipments.

Again, D&H was telling me that they never expected their AE's to be in until July anyway. That didn't sound right to me. In fact I thought they we're scheduled for May deliveries, and I expected that meant June, realistically.
Thanks Rickyou can register at fjr1300.info Clicky and see who ordered what when. It is NOT inclusive of all PDP's, only those who volunteered the info.
While I was off riding the CAlifornia 24 Rally(it was a hoot!!), my 06 AE arrived on Thursday 8 June. Will pick it up on Tuesday. I ordered first hour 28 September 05 and got PDP#195582. Will report later on first riding impressions. Meantime, my 05 "BlueJay" performed great. :yahoo: I teamed with Skyway and BlueStreek from the forum. Also met ScooterG(Greg) and rode some with him. A great rally and lots of FJRs did it. :assassin:Got the call from Pat at Sunnyside today. My AE has arrived and will be assembled on Monday. I'll be picking it up the middle of next week.
On full acceleration is clutch disengagement and engagement so slow that performance is noticeably less than standard model? Does the engine bounce off the rev limiter when shifting full throttle? Sounds like you guys are saying there's enough time to take a lunch break between shifts.
Well hope this date won't be bad luck.I love it I love it.It arived 06/02/06 Tony Texarkana TX.late put together Monday picked up Tues.6/6/6 am trailered it back home unable to get ride up to ride it back.
Got about 500 miles on it now.Shifts great it's nice to have your left hand free when you stop without
having to put in N then back in gear when at light.When riding hard I thing you could shift faster but it is smooth.Added autocom XM ,Radar detector,cell phone, throttlemeister,grip puppies. Have ordered corbin seat with backrest for wife 3 or 4 weeks. Next thing to do is remove throttle spring had 03 FJR and help the right hand out alot.

Curious as to what location did you install the Powerlet outlets. I looked on the Powlet site and the only 06 FJR kit installed on the left flat panel where the grip warmer controls are. If you can describe location of the 2 outlet, it is much appreciated and I want to install 2 also. thanks.lAfter a week and 1200 miles, I can only say I like this thing better every day. I've only used the footshifter a few times, the migration to the hand shift was that natural. As Bikerkash says, if you want to, you can make the shifts feel just like a conventional clutch shift, or you can make them almost completely un-noticeable. The best part is in the twisties, it's just to much fun. I installed a couple of Powerlet plugs the other night and my Corbin seat. I am leaving on July 14th for a 10 day 4,000 mile trip, and just hope I can keep myself off this thing long enough so I don't have to put on a new set of tires before I leave. :lol:
