    FJR1300AE Shifting

    As long as you are not still accelerating just hit the paddle to shift up . Once you get the feel of the throttle then a slight twitch of the wrist to drop the gas off is all that may be needed at slower speeds. I found out recently that I can blip the throttle on down shifts as long as I get...

    AE Cornering Suggestions?

    This is how I control my AE in slow going just the same as I would with a clutched bike . Mine07 has also had the ECU changed to fix 'altitude sickness' and had the fuel mixture enriched to suit the Two Bros Pipes. Now it rides like a new FJR should without the snatchy throttle at low speed...

    0 to 100 MPH in....?

    Reason fro an 04 being quicker ,,(not faster) is the early models Gen 1 where lower geared than gen 2's

    I think the VFR commonly used by police in Japan is the 400 not the 800 .

    Proper Tire Pressure

    40 and 42 ish but I usually ride two up . Anything less on the front and it feels like it wants to fall into corners and feels very mushy . I was bragging to a mate that since I set up the suspension as per the forums average ( as opposed to factory mush) I hadnt touched the pegs down and have...

    It's Not Two-Wheels

    I test rode one recently as part of the Aussie Spyder Experience they are running ATM . I rode the RS SE with the semi auto shifter thing . I was impressed with the fun factor to be had but reckon it would be hard work on a tight and twisty road. But what a weapon on a wet tight an twisty...

    Snatchy Throttle Fix...

    In Australia we dont usually suffer from altitude sickness nor do FJR 13's but mine had a major flat spot whilst touring the "High Country "in Feb this year after a fairly quick mountain road descent. My 07 always had a harsh throttle reaction from idle that made tight twisty stuff and...

    16k PR2 rear tire

    I just got 2 new PR2's fitted rode home 100 kilometres and I just measured them and they have 6mm tread depth maximum on the rear at any point and 5 mm maximum tread depth on the front. Lets see if I can get more than 11,000kms out of this set.
