The Bike will be a bit of a challenge for you solo and much bigger challenge with two up. Just keep in mind if or when you drop it there will be a lot of very expensive damage to say nothing about getting hurt. IF you decide to buy one I suggest you consider some after market "CrashBars" which...

A K&N filter, a 17mm wrench a little Grease &/or used oil on the gasket a 3/4 turn and there is never an issue. Change filter everytime Not every other time. Filters are cheap Motors aren't.

Great. Thanks

I'm sure mid Sept will work. Just checking, they will fit on a 2020? Thanks, Steve

Looking for passenger footpads for 2020 FJR. I've had them on my Gen II bikes and need to find them for a 2020 bike. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Steve

There was a mention in the March 2015 addition of MCN, Motorcyce Consumer News, on page 5 regarding DCT technology being slow to be accepted in the MC world however they felt certain the DCT would continue to grow based Patents & Concept bikes and they pacifically mention the FJR as a...

Have you sold your FJR yet? Thanks, Steve

It's good nothing worse happen, it's called being lucky. I have given up night riding there are too many hidden dangers that can't be seen at night no matter how good or experienced a rider that you are.

I have over 150k on AE bikes and never had any Yamaha related issues, except for the headlight lenses which were covered under warrenty. As many have suggested one of the hardest things to master is low speed maneuvers. It is much easier to keep the bike in 2nd gear you will be much smoother. I...

The PR-3 tires are excellent. I get app 7k from the rear. A friend got 14k from the front, it was totally shot but at 12k still just ok. I have tried the PR-4 tires and will go back to the 3's next tire change. There is a sound from the tread pattern I do not like, not real bad just don't like...

If your wife is a fearful rider on her own bike it's only a matter of time before something bad is going happen. If you enjoy having her with you and have concern for her safety you already know the answer you need a two up bike she also enjoys. If it were me I would not sell your FJR. You will...

I own an 08 & 09 AE the only difference is the color of the luggage rack the 09 went back to a silver color.

This is a one owner 2008 FJR-AE with 57,300 miles. It has been professionally maintained by the local Yamaha dealer with all service records. The tires & battery are new. Heated handgrips are standard on the AE. Everything else is factory orginal equipment. It's never been dropped and has no...

Innocent Bystander pretty much nailed it. I have well over 100K on AE bikes, 06, 08 & 09. I have physcial issues resulting for a wreck over 6 yrs ago. If it were not for the AE I'm not sure how I would ride. I've never had any kind of issue with the AE function. It takes getting use to but once...

Drill & Tap a hole in the left handle bar just above the handle grip and use a threaded ball mount it works well.

Drill & tap a hole in the left handle bar forward of the grip and use a threaded ball mount. These ball mounts come in two different thread sizes. You will need to use a bottom tap for this.

Using the rear brake with the AE is the key also use 2nd gear for very low speed turns.

Another method I use for low speed turns is to leave it in 2nd gear everything happens slower & smoother. I have over 100K on AE's and have never had an issue with the clutch.

I use an Arai XC 3/4 helmet and always ride with reuseable ear plugs from walgreens they are very comfortable I also have a Cee Baily 2+2 windshield. I do not ride slow and wind noise is never an issue.

Bikers tend to need new tires about every 3 to 5 years while motorcyclist/riders go though 2 to 3 sets per season. Bikers ride for looks, show and being COOL while motorcyclist/riders ride for the pure enjoyment of being on two wheels.
