My 06 FJR-AE had the factory grips installed with the AE package. Because I didn't care for the jerkeyness of the throttle entering a corner I needed something to help in this matter. I did install the G2 throttle tube without any problems, so that can be done on these heated grips. You do have...

Well I've had my 06 Feejer since March of 07 and have always been bothered by that damn windshield retract. One of the things that made me think about disabeling the auto retract was because I've had the bike in for a major warranty repair where they had to replace the entire wiring harness...

I know you're blown away by the torque and power then if you just got off of a Sportster? You must be in 7th Heaven with the FJR not having the vibration the Harley had? I owned a 99 Sportster myself and found the transition from clutch shifting to paddle shifting on the FJR to be second nature...

I actually looked at the G2 Throttle Tube I purchased and noticed how the G2 had a slight ramp to give the throttle a slower reaction compaired to the stock setup. I thought about it and figured if I screwed it up I could throw the plastic tube away. I brought out my trusty dusty Rotary Tool and...

Rickster, Great instructions and photos, thanks for taking the time and trouble to go through this process just to help us out. Even though I have already done this mod on my bike, had a write-up with the photos like your's been around then, it would have made life a lot easier. Your directions...

I can't say I was lucky enough to have a code I could read when mine shut down, but I did find something out when mine wouldn't start nor shift out of gear and I had to put it on a trailer so I could get it to a shop for warranty work. The very shifter actuator the others are speaking of can be...

+1, Great Shield!

FJR Dreamer, not every warranty repair has this quick action situation. You must remember even though these bikes were redesigned in 2006 there are still parts Yamaha for some reason doesn't have on their shelves readily available in the good ole USA and still are shipped in from Japan. I know...

I believe they just told the TRUTH! Trust me when I say this, they all produce great bikes, Honda, Kawasaki, and Yamaha. It just so happens Yamaha was rated number one in MCN (The best damn Magazine out there) And YES they did tell me what I wanted to hear.

Rob R, I know what you mean. My wife had a Honda (cage) Civic EX in perfect shape and a hair more than two years old, she did the same thing with the insurance. She hates paying insurance in the first place and took the collision off as soon as she paid the car off, which sucked because less...

I feel your pain, we too use State Farm for our insurance needs for everything but my motorcycle insurance. State Farm was so high when I got my first bike with them as our policy holder I thought about giving up riding altogether thinking the price was too stinking high. I called several other...

I deal with Progressive myself and they use several factors when putting a quote together for someone. Ont thing a lot of people don't think about is their credit rating? Sure they look at that to see how responsible you are, so a bad credit rating........not very responsible. Another couple of...

timalan, I also have a Shad top box on my bike, I really like the look of the box itself (that is if you need to ride around with one on for any reason). I also ordered a top plate in Silver that accented my 06 AE very nicely color wise. As far as cost I paid around $300.00 with the top plate...

Jarmo, that has got to be one of if not the nicest Scrambler's I have ever seen. When I was a kid I rode an old 305 Dream and an old 160 through the woods as a big nasty trail bike (didn't have any money for the newer lighter stuff, but there were lots of these older bikes around) Your bike and...
