Bike is located in San Jose, CA - It is Cerulean Silver in color and has two matching trunks (Yamaha and Aftermarket) along with heated Russel Day Long seats (rider and passenger) I am the 2nd owner and have had it since it had 2K miles on it. The first owner bought it to develop motorcycle...

So I picked up Showchromes TPMS and even though I check my air pressure about once every two weeks, right away it was low. So I adjusted it and here is what I'm seeing and I wonder if it is normal. I have Diablo Stradas (with the E in the back) Temp in garage 48 degrees Tire temp 52 front...

Figured I would try the simple install air pressure and temperature unit. Comes in black (at least some of the pictures show that). I searched a lot for you and you can't beat this price. Show Chrome Duratec Tire Pressure Monitor All you have to do is give them your email address and they...

Wife was not comfortable on my FJR with its stock Yammie Topbox. After our recent trip to San Diego where she got a bruise on her back I decided to look for a new one. This is my experience. If you want to skip the text and go straight to the pictures here is the link...

I bought new Stradas for my bike and I decided to break them in with a little 4 day 1,314 mile ride. A little of what California has to offer year round It is a long show but there are some real nice shots there of what California has to offer. If you watch the whole thing this is what you...

I have a CalSci XXL shield (came with the bike). I have risers (came with the bike) and I bought the day long saddle. Even all the way up (looking through the Calsci humango shield) my wife still gets turbulence and wind on her microphone. I've read up on the Vstrom and am considering it for...

Hi, If the Gen II 06 ignition bug hits me while I'm the road and the bike goes dead what will happen to the AE? When the AE shuts completely off it locks the rear wheel within 4 seconds. If I'm on the road and the ignition fails does this mean the entire bike is off or just the motor? Does...

Hi, Bike has about 12K miles. I just noticed that a black cap about 1cm in diameter is missing from the ignition housing. Should I worry? What is under there? It looks like a gold bolt or something. Hard to tell. Dirty, small and bad vision is a bad combo. Do I need to cover it with...

Hi, Just wondering if a tank cover for 04 would fit an 06. Thanks!

Hi, So today I decided to check my suspension settings and all was fine until I got tot he rear. I heard 12 clicks to the right (which means it was stock) and then when I went to click to the left I only heard one click. At that point I took it to the left (counter clockwise) until it felt...

When I'm going where I've been. When I'm going where this man has not gone before. Everything is running through an Amplirider to an Autocom. My GPS Software is TOMTOM and I have a bluetooth GPS receiver that rides around in the glove box along with the flashlight and cig power chargers...

I have an 06 AE and am wondering if I need to unplug the power to reset ECU. I'm plugged in to the air intake inlet sensor. My Nitro X is sending signals but I am wondering if shutting off the bike is enough or if I need to unplug the battery. Thanks!

Hi, Going to try a Nitro X module on the 2006 AE. I have to insert two wires (loops) into the Air Temp sensor. Where is the sensor? My manual shows it by the engine. Do I get to it under the tank or under the seat? Just thought I would ask as it would be easier to start in the right place...

So today I want to the International Motorcycle show in San Mateo, CA. I put 500 miles on my FJR 06 AE during the week so I can compare the following. I road my VTX 1300 to the show. I test road a Yamaha Raider. Quick Raider Thoughts: Warrior is more fun. Lacks low end grunt, mid was okay...

So I've noticed that with my winter gloves for what ever reason my hand/wrist gets sore (no so with the summer fingerless gloves). I like the idea of a more linear throttle response at lower speeds bu I'm not sure that would solve my sore throttle hand. I've read that the G2 and spring mod may...

Hi, Been thinking of cutting of the mud guard all the way up to the license plate. Anyone done this? I think it would look nice to see more of the rear tire. I know that those riding or driving behind me may get more rocks kicked up but that is why you shouldn't tail gate. If anyone has...

Hi, Time for the oil change. Other than what is in my manual what do you recommend? I've used Amsoil on all my other bikes/cars (yes I know it's overpriced). Please only comment on your experience with oil for AE. Should I stay away from anything specific because it is an AE? I live in San...

Hi, Does anyone make a soft bag that fits into like a glove into the Yamaha Top Box?
