Today, with just over 2 years of ownership, almost 21,000 miles, I traded in my 2006 FJR 1300AE for a 2008 Buell Ulysses XB12XT - the street Ulysses (street tires and lower seat/suspension). It's been a love/hate relationship with my FJR. It was just the throttle response that I could get...

Just a general question: do you need a motorcycle license in Florida if you ride a 49cc scooter? Thanks for any info.

Test rode a BMW R1200R and K1200R this past weekend. I know after this that I'm not interested in the R1200R. But the K1200R is a really nice bike. Once thing that really stuck me was how SMOOTH the throttle was - no on/off "jerk" like on the FJR. I'm really disappointed now with my AE's...

I’ve been doing some soul searching lately. I would like to start off by saying, in general, I have no major complaints about my 2006 FJR1300AE. Just took her in for 16,000 mile service. However, one thing for me is just the general size of the bike. I’m about 5’7” and 155lbs, so pushing...

I've had my Remus Hexacone for a week now on my 2006 AE. First week I ran with the baffles in along with Holeshot/Wally map on my PCIII. The bikes "seems" to be quicker when accelerating (butt dyno). Noticed it the first time on the freeway and cracked her wide open to join oncoming traffic...

I'm thinking about buying exhaust cans for my 2006 AE soon. Reading the posts there are comments here and there about having to "pack" them. Newbie question: what exactly does this mean? Also, if others can post which ones require packing and those that do not that would be appreciated...

I attended the Streetmasters Precision Cornering Workshop class this past Saturday (9/22). In a nutshell: what a great course. Well worth the investment in my riding ability and safety. Anyone who is thinking about it should take it without hesitation. My class was a bit more “challenging”...

Been thinking about adding a riser plate to my FJR. When I see 1.5" back or 1.5" up and back, where is that based? At the grips? Or at the triple trees? Thanks for any info.

Looking around for possibly a cruiser. Anyone have info to pass along to me regarding the following: Yamaha Stratoliner Honda VTX 1800F Victory Vegas ??? (BTW, I am not interested in a Harley whatsoever.) I like the looks of the Honda (but haven't seen one in person). I am, though...

Anyone have experience with Pro Pad and/or Travelcade (Saddlemen) gel pads that you place on top of the seat? My Corbin is a POS. Can't handle more than 100 miles on it. Need to look into other ways to make the ride more comfortable... looking into gel pads to place on top of my Corbin. Thanks.

Installed my throttlemeister. I cannot get it to engage and hold for more than 15 seconds. I've ridden the bike the last two days on flat freeway roads. When I engage the TM it "holds" but then slowly disengages. BTW, my TM did not come with any shims/spacers. What can be done? Thanks.

Received my Throttlemeister today and I'll be doing the install this weekend. Any tips/pointers for those with an AE and dealing with the heated grips? I read somewhere it's better to heat the grips up before the install. Can anyone verify that this should be done? Also, if anyone has...

Had my 8000 mile service. Dealer put on two new OEM tires on the bike (Bridgestones). I've got this wobble now when riding on grooved roads - mainly on the freeway. Handlebars will shake back and forth. Speed doesn't matter. In fact, in slower traffic (around 35 mph) it is more noticeable...

A bit surprised when I called Streetmasters about their June 10th Teamwork on 2-wheels class. I was told it had been canceled for lack of interest. Huh? Come on So Cal owners! https://www.streetmasters.info/precision_cornering/index.html Anyway, I'll be attending the June 9th cornering...

I'm looking at the MC Cruise control unit: https://www.motorcycle-cruise-control.com/s...=471&page=1 Yes, it's expensive but I don't care, I can afford it. :fuck: Is there any AE owner that has this unit? If so, did you install it? How was the process? Or did you have a dealership...

Well, had a chance to take the bike to work today and really see if the PCIII would help with the "jerk" I feel at low speeds and when I roll off the throttle at highway speeds. Doesn't seem to have helped with the main thing I wanted it to address: low speed jerkiness. :( On the highway...

I'll be installing the PCIII this weekend and wanted to know if anyone knows the torque specs for (1) the bolts at the top of the tank, by the handlebars and (2) the bolts that secure the back of the tank, by the seat. I saw this in the FAQ section but I'm not sure. Torque: Generic: NUT...

Check out their website: https://www.powercommander.com/ Living in California, I'm thinking the "EX" would be a better choice... if there's any difference for the FJR at this point. *shrug*

Newbie question specific to a 2006 FJRAE. How do I know (or find out) if I have any throttle cable slack? The on/off snap of the throttle I get is getting to be too much. I have over 5k miles on my FJR and thought over time I'd "learn" how to deal with this... it's not happening. I do have a...

Guy I work with has an 05 R1. Claimed this past weekend to have it up to 190mph. BS or the real deal?
