I'm currently riding a 2007 FJR AE with 45,000 miles on it. It has original suspension, Heli risers, highway pegs, and an RDL saddle. It's got a few scratches (low speed drops by PO) and a mostly worn back PR 4 with a half worn front tire. I saw a 2009 FJR AE with 9,500 miles on it that has a...

My friend broke one of the retaining brackets on his 06 FJR AE. Now the bracket no longer holds the side case firm as it is only held by the arms in the holes. He's trying to figure out the part number to replace the part. If anyone knows I'd appreciate it.

I was having lunch and reading the newspaper when I came upon the article that I'm linking here...

I sold my 06 FJR AE to a friend two years ago with 40,000 miles. He now has about 52,000 miles and called me Tuesday to say that all of a sudden his bike is making grinding noises only when in 4th gear. I've never heard of this on an FJR before and hope it's not that he damaged the gear due to...

Gentlemen and Ladies, in the words of the ever respected "Curly Howard" "I'm a victim of circumstances". Recently I had an episode where I slid out my 08 FJR AE due to a very slick rainy day and a pedestrian running out into traffic. I walked away from the slide out with just that felling that...

I'm not sure that this is the right topic area for this post, but here it is. Last weekend I got up early on Saturday with a bug to go riding. So I packed a small bag early Saturday morning and took off from Chicago to ride some good roads in northern and northeastern Kentucky. I left Chicago...

In no way knowing these people and just trying to give back to the forum, I needed some new gloves because while traveling through America and leaving Las Vegas in 105 degrees packing in bright sunshine, I made a mistake and rode off with two of my pairs of gloves laying next to the bike!! I...

My 08 AE lit with a shift 47 message and I pulled into a gas station turned it off and now it won't start. The shift 47 and yellow are on the bike clicks but that's it. Also it's in first and won't change gears. Waiting for a tow. Also it never had the recall done.

I've taken a leave from posting which was in part due to illness. In November after a weekend ride to Missouri I managed to catch Pneumonia and was sick for about a month. During the miserable sickness I didn't manage to get much of anything done. When I got well enough to go back to work...

I'm selling my 06 FJR AE with 41,400 miles and many farkels on it. In the late fall I bought another FJR and I figured that I'd need to sell one of them in the spring. This FJR has only had two owners myself and another forum member. We both garage kept the bike and did our routine...

All winter my friend Brian and I had been planning a grand tour of the western half of America from Chicago. Some of you may hold against Brian that he rides a BMW R1200R, but we can't all be perfect. I being the wiser of the two of us took my 06 FJR AE. We made numerous preparations in...

I have an 06 FJR AE that I bought used in Atlanta last mid summer. The prior owner had never done the recalls and I rode the heck out of the bike between mid summer and October, about 10, 000 miles. In late September on a trip through the Smokys and into Pensylvania I was in southeastern PA...

I flew to Atlanta and met Brad from this board to buy his 2006 FJR AE to replace my 06 FJR AE that I lowsided in May and bought it. Brad was a total gentlemen. The bike rode well and I rode from Atlanta through Smoky Mountain National Park, the Cherahola, Dragon, Blue Ridge Parkway (from Smoky...

Will a 2006 FZ1 mirror change out for a GenII 2006 FJR?

My 06 FJR has been laid up since October due to a a fall when my dad had a heart attack. I left it in front of my house in my rush to get to California and some clown knocked it over with his car. That broke the steering lock collar around the ignition and the ignition lock. My dad has been...

I had to go from Chicago to San Diego to take my dad to the horse races and for a few days to Vegas again at Labor Day. As usual pop thought I'd be flying, but I decided to ride. This is a series of posts that I put on another forum describing my trip from planning to it’s end. Seeing how the...
