    Parking in VA for Daytona bike week March 2019?

    Plenty of parking at my place in Short Pump, VA. Probably 15-20 minutes from 95. 295/64 interchange a mile or two from my house. Right on your route.

    Is this balancing or what?

    OK. That clicky you sent convinced me that it might not be abnormal. I've seen uneven tire wear before (on cruisers ). But this is my first sport bike and mine looked excessive as hell. I've never had one wear so uneven that I have to constantly counter steer to counteract the force.

    Is this balancing or what?

    I'll send pics tomorrow. The front tire on an '06 AE with BTs has worn so bad on one side (left) that the bike pulls to the left. And, the tire is unusable because the tread is splitting on the left (as seen from sitting on the bike) so bad that you can see belts. But the center treal still had...

    HELP!!! I think I am going to Kill myself

    2000 Miles itsn't much. That's about 40 hours on a bike. Would you consider a mechanical engineer with 40 hours of education experienced? I don't think it's about the FJR at all, I think it's just confidence. You need a friend to ride nice and easy with and who will spend a few hours a week in...

    No, travel does not change. No AE abnormalities. Order the one that says FJR Throttle Fix

    Between the cam and CO Adjustment, it feels like a different bike.

    G2 throttle cam installation

    1) Weight comes of easy, falls in your hand. 2) Yes, it's a bear to get off. 3) The new tube will hold the grip without glue. 4) I didn't have to produce any slack to get the grips on. Side note: If you have the AE, note how the heated grip aligns with the original cam.

    G2Ergo TT and Heated Grips

    Does anyone happen to recall how the heated grip aligned with the original plastic cam and tt? I didn't remember to take note of how they aligned before removing the OEM tube and want to make sure the grip wires are routed correctly. And how do you change your display name on the forum?

    Hi FastMax, I have the same question. This morning I pulled the throttle assembly apart and sure enough, the heat assembly is in the grip itself, So I see no reason why the G2 fix won't work. I've ordered mine via the website and hope their backorders will be filled soon. I hope this helps you...

    Clutch operation changed on '06

    Is it safe to assume that the aluminum tube required for this fix will not work with the heated grips on an AE?
