I don’t know much about the AE since both of mine are regular clutch versions. But I’m pretty sure you can find all the information you need on this forum. As for the transmission, I haven’t experienced any issues with either one of my bikes. They are both properly maintained and serviced...

Hi and welcome to the forum. I own two FJR’s and my oldest 2008 FJR with 168,000 miles is still running beautifully. I also have a 2013 gen3 with 75,000 miles on it and that one hasn’t given me any headaches either. So far it has been brilliant too. So I can attest to the fact that they are...

Yes, bad bearing but the strange noise really puzzled me for a little while.

Jeez, I didn’t realize I haven’t updated this thread. I performed a little surgery on my ‘08 and replaced the water pump with a used one from a 2018. Problem solved. I Hadn’t heard this noise before so I guess I’m never too old to learn….

welcome from California, very nice bike 👍

I don’t consider it better than my gen3 but the fairing is less bulky and it just feels a little more sporty to me. It’s set up a little different than my stock gen3 too. It has an Ivan tune and Delkevic pipes. I also have a small windscreen on it, mostly because I like the airflow in the hot...

Yeah haven’t heard this before either, it just started today. I hadn’t worked on the bike or changed anything on it. The hunt for the cause is on!

Anybody heard this noise before?

My ‘08 mileage, bought it new that year and still going strong.

Holy shit!! That’s absolutely amazing. Makes me look like a Sunday rider lol!

Aah crap, been there. How about this one, must have ridden at least 20 miles like this before I noticed it. No silly string for this one lol!

Yes, I love the black one for so many reasons but I couldn’t pass up the 2013, too good of a deal. The silver color did grow on me, still wish that one was black too though.

Aah yes, it’s a ‘75 GMC K25 4x4 Sierra Grande. New 350 engine, driveline rebuilt, sitting on 37” Humvee tires. It’s a time machine really, sure feels like that when I drive it haha!
