    What's a still in the crate 2007 worth?

    Hey Deac. Hog from the FZ1OA.... I just picked up my '08 AE, new out of the crate for $9999 for means of comparison. There are deals still out there to be had.

    Electrical whizzes, I need your help.

    Most of you guys were right on concerning the ground. Per the kits instructions I grounded it to the bolt on the tank hinge, the wire harness is precut to ground it there, as is, it won't reach the negative terminal. After loosening the ground wire and just touching it to the bolt, I got it to...

    Electrical whizzes, I need your help.

    Today I installed a powerlet socket onto my FJR, I've used these before and LOVE them for plugging my battery tender into, and my GPS. I took great care routing the wires and making a very clean install. The hot lead is connnected to the positive terminal on the battery, and it is grounded to...

    This is driving me nuts.....

    Thank you guys very much. The missing piece for me was the Garmin mount...I have the RAM cradle and for the life of me couldn't figure out how that would mount to the TechMount platform...I'm simple sometimes. As a huge Harry Potter fan, this whole "he must not be named" thing absolutley cracks...

    This is driving me nuts.....

    OK, I've been searching for a clean install of my 2610 and have yet to find what I'm looking for. On my VFR this mount couldn't have been cleaner, I was able to to bolt the ram ball to the tank bolts and Powerlet made the slickest kit that installed the outlet to the steering stem nut. Very...

    OK, really....$93 for the Yamaha repair manual?

    Is that correct or am I looking in the wrong place? I clicked the link that was posted in the new guy section. WTF, really? Surely you guys must know where to get them cheaper, right? BTW I'm only interested in the genuine Yamaha one.

    Need a Trailer

    I have a two bike Kendon trailer and it is a fantastic trailer! Been from Wisconsin to Deals Gap four times, once with a GL1800 & my VFR and I've never had a problem. Solid, fine quality and pulls like a dream. Costs a few bucks more than Chinese but worth every penny. Find a used one and you...

    So what's it like to ride an AE FJR?

    Well I'll find out how I like the AE tomorrow. I pick up my new '08 at 11am. I'm off the next couple of days, the weather is supposed to be gorgeous, and I'll have a new toy, can it get any better than that?

    So what's it like to ride an AE FJR?

    Man, I wish I could, but I will be working Sunday....Here's some great news, I'm off in about an hour to partially deliver my VFR to it's new owner. I've already called the dealer who has a SMOKIN' deal (best I've seen so far...anywhere) on a leftover 08 AE, and got the paperwork started and he...

    So what's it like to ride an AE FJR?

    Thank you, that is a very generous offer. I have a good amount of seat time on my buddy's '05, I know for sure I like the bike itself. I think I have myself talked in to the AE, I really can't think of a downside for my style of riding. At the moment I'm looking new, I've found some pretty...

    OK, I've searched...I have.

    Certainly you pro's have found a particular dealer(s) that sells genuine Yamaha accessories a discount. I'm close to finally buying my FJR, but I want to get away as clean from the dealer as possible, which means I'm playing hardball until I get the bike for what I want to pay. So I'm pretty...

    So what's it like to ride an AE FJR?

    Thank you all very much. That is exactly why I asked, your opinions are very helpful. The best deals I've been seeing are on the AE's, I really can't think of a reason why I'd miss the clutch. The twist and go and click-click-click certainly has an appeal to me, and once I get used to it, I...

    So what's it like to ride an AE FJR?

    I think I like the concept. And I've read and reread article after article, but have never ridden one and it's not like the dealers have them laying around to test ride. Least not around here. I don't fight stop and go traffic, and I don't superslab for great distances. I commute, I cruise...
