I have a regular ¼ wave automotive style antenna on my FJR. It works, but not all that well. Strong stations come in but fade in & out. Moderate stations are barely received. I spoke to a guy at work that is an electrical engineer and he explained that the reason was those antennas are...

I just got my '06 AE back from the local dealership where they performed the ground wire recall (known to us as the Gen II grounding spider issue). They had to replace the entire bike's wire harness. It was clear to me that the tech working on my FJR may never have ever worked on one before...

I installed my Audiovox Cruise Control on my 2006 FJR1300AE about a year and a half ago and it has been functioning well ever since. But as some of you may know from my recent thread about the engine quitting, I have recently been bit by the dreaded spider. So I am not riding until I get the...

So here I am, coming down the main drag in Slidell, Lousyana, when my 2 year old 2006 FJR1300AE dies on me!!! I was flabbergasted. This has never happened in our two year love affair! Let me set the scene: I had just pigged out at the all you can eat buffet and was in stop and go traffic for...

I have an issue with my '06 FJR1300AE that I'd like some help with. Since I first started riding my FJR (at least since I have had my Audiovox cruise control installed), I have noticed that I can take my hands off of the grips at about 45 mph and there was a very gentle and slight wobble of the...

This has likely been answered previously, but I am either too stupid or too lazy to find it. When you guys change your oil, what is the proper fill level? Should the oil level be in the middle of the sight glass after the bike has set such that the oil is settled? Or at the top? Or should it...

I have had my FJR baby for a bit over a year now. In that time, I have only seen one other FJR on the road. That was Mike (Patriot) and we were riding together up to Mississippi, so I could not help but see him (thankfully, he did not have those shorts on with the flip flops!!!). The other...

I recently bought a used top case (Yamaha) here. I have a lock to put in it, but I do not have the little steel lever that bolts on to the bottom of the lock cylinder, you know, the part that comes off if you don't LocTite it. I need that little lever. Can anyone part with one for me? Thanks...

I recently bought a Yammy Top Case from a guy here (great deal, he was very honest, got what was described, I am happy!). But now I need the foam rubber pad that goes on the front of the top case. Yammy part No. 5JW-W0772-00. Anyone have one to sell???? Or a substitute that is not...

Anyone have a healer or something that does the same job to sell? Anyone know the best deal out there for a new one? Thanks!

I wanted to take out my air filter on my '06 FJR1300AE, just to take a look at it and clean it out a bit. See how crappy it was. MAN, what an ordeal getting that damn thing out!!! This is a consumable item. Should it not be easy to access? What were the design dudes thinking??? Am I...

What coolant is required by Yamaha to not void the warranty on a Gen II '06? I can find no designation of what coolant to use. Thanks!!!

I was reading some topics in this forum tonight and I happened upon the one where the very talented Alex is cutting up and re-welding his FJR's tank to increase tank capacity. In the discussion, someone mentioned that the only filtering in the FJS was a screen in the tank and that anything that...

OK, I have put this off long enough!!! I need to finally install the AudioVox Cruise Control that I bought 8 months ago. I ride an '06 AE so I cannot fit it under the seat or under the right hand side fairing. The only other spot, therefore, that I have seen on these forums that is available...

I know that we all know about the speedometer error. It is well documented here. But is there an easy fix for it? Some easy change that can correct the indicated speed to match the actual? And if so, does this "fix" necessarily have to then cause the odometer to now err? I'd REALLY like to...

I know some Gen 1 owners have used the FZ1 mirrors to give them a wider mirror girth, but it does not appear that they will fit my Gen II. Is there a similar solution for Gen II? Thanks!

I have an issue with the audio output of my radar detector and was wondering if anyone here has a solution. I ride with an Escort 8500 X50. The 8500 has a 3.5 mm audio out jack (mono, not stereo). I purchased a small, cheapo adapter from Radio Shack that converts the mono jack into a stereo...

I have read the excellent "how to's" about how to install one of these Audiovox CCS100 cruise controls on a 2003 FJR, but can anyone say for certain that it can be done on a 2006? My concern is that wiring has changed (different coil signal wire color?) or such a complete geometry change...
