    Hard Wired Garage Door Opener

    Here is what I did... Just my .02 worth! Nobody will ever know what that little button is for. I have actually labeled it "NOS" with a little arrow pointing to it since the picture was taken. most guys say "Sick dude, you have NOS on your FJR?" Makes for good conversation. Took less than...

    Whatzit??

    The "Black thingie" you refer to is the dust cap for your muffler bearing grease fitting. Be sure to slide it back on there to protect it, or you won't be able to pump grease into the zerk on that bearing... You should have lubed it while you were in there, most guys can't find this part...

    need some AE help! YCCS disengage needs adjusted...

    mcatrophy, outstanding... Thank you! :clapping: I ordered a manual, but it won't be here till late next week. Here's the dealio ~ I used what you wrote to a t-ee and it worked WELL. I adjusted the shift point up by ~110rpm's and it's perfect now. I had to go up two settings, try it, and...

    need some AE help! YCCS disengage needs adjusted...

    Ok, thanks for the pointers... HOWEVER, I really don't think anybody on this forum has successfully adjusted the YCCS. I'm so close. I found the plug, shorted the contacts, got into the YCCS "Shift" mode by visualizing the "SH_ _61" on display, but NOTHING. I tried every button on the bike...

    Perhaps the Greatest Ford Commercial Ever

    Semper Fi ~ I too loved the commercial. The only problem is that as a country, we're loosing the American family... and respect for one another entirely, albeit I still try and remain optimistic and spread goodness. It was nice, like the old days :blink...

    need some AE help! YCCS disengage needs adjusted...

    Got ya. I still don't know what to do with the wire however!!! I'm wondering if the manual that we can buy is the same one that the stealer mechanic's use... How do I get my hands on an actual yamamama shop manual (the ones that have ALL the information in them)? I suppose I'll tear into the...

    need some AE help! YCCS disengage needs adjusted...

    Starting from most recent reply. BwanaDik: Thanks for your reply to my post and the suggestions. When I adjusted the cable free play it did not change the idle. It is still at 1050 where it was before I adjusted the cable free play. I was under the tank replacing 3 year old spark plugs so...

    need some AE help! YCCS disengage needs adjusted...

    Noob here with an FJR1300AE specific question. I pulled the tank off yesterday to take out the 1/4 turn or so of free play I had in the throttle. Several friends told me that it was WAY too much lash, so I tore into it and adjusted it on the EFI end fo the cable down under the heat shield...

    Yet another set of airshow pics

    When LtCol Anders (Bill's son, a USAF Reservist in Washington State) passed through Kfalls at the Airshow 2008, I got to ride in his Val-Halla P-51. What a freaking HOOT!!! It's owned by the Air Force Museum and he shuttles it around to places. Unforgettable...

    ECU

    Same story here in Oregon... My luggage rack and ignition set are in, but the ECU is on backorder. Also, they tell me it's NOT the ECU that is getting replaced, they say it's the TPS. Am I loosing it here? Why are they telling me this when I read the 17-Oct-2007, Bulletin M2007-016? My VIN...

    Yet another set of airshow pics

    wfooshee, "Next up was the F-15 demonstration. I don't know what the Air Force's schedule is on these, but there will be no more F-15s at Tyndall after next year. The F-15 is the most successful air superiority fighter the world has ever seen, with an air-to-air combat record of 104 victories...

    Garage Door Opener

    Cruzin, since folks have been very helpful to me on this forum... I wanted to let you know that I purchased 50' of 30guage low voltage wire and a 4 pack of "Momentary On" micro switches from Radio Shack for less than $5 today. I installed a switch on my AE as seen in the pictures. I used a...

    Wobbly windscreen advice...

    I'll have to get with FJ Ray this summer and sport a ride with him. He'll square me away and let me know if my wobble is normal. Still curious what others say about their screen. Maybe I have a loose screw like bustanut suggests! jet mechanic, I was first going to guess G650's but they are...

    Wobbly windscreen advice...

    Thanks for the suggestions. The shield and bracket are all tight, it's somewhere in the mechanism below the fairing, down inside. I guess I'll remove the shield in accordance with the bin-o-facts posts, and investivate as you all suggested. If things are tight (so to speak) I guess "Some have...

    Wobbly windscreen advice...

    Ok, since nobody would answer my previous post about a GPS... Here goes another one that seems more important. I picked up my '06 a few weeks ago and love it! The only complaint that I have is the windscreen. It's a bit flimsy while parked or puttering around town. Should I investigate why...

    Garmin Rino 530HCX - HEADSET, HELP!!!!

    Noob here who wants to know of a few ideas: I have an HJC Modular helmet and want to intigrate a headset/mic kit into it. I have a few friends who got together and purchased Rino 530HCX's for our bikes, and we want the ability to talk to one another using VOX (on GRMS) while riding. We've...
