FJR-Remington, I really don't think I have slammed the FJR. But Yamaha Customer Service leaves A LOT TO BE DESIRED! But when I read about somebody who has had multiple electrical problems like I had and in the same sentence says they don't trust their bike, it brings up the experience I had -...

I won't mention my problems again but I guarantee you if you have the "experience" I did, you would find that I have been pretty "positive" on it. Any how, I still think my recommendation for AAA Premier is warranted because if he gets stranded AGAIN, the $200 for the AAA Premier will long...

Pat, Having already been down this path with YamaF__K, I won't repeat my story but let's just say I had several of the problems you have had on my 2006 AE. The bit of advice I would recommend if you don't already is a good TOW service. After my FJRPOS left me stranded several times and...

I always wanted a flip-up helmet but was scared away because of the noise & safety issues. When I heard about and read the reviews for the Schuberth C3 helmet, I couldn't stand the wait any more and I ordered one from Designer Helmets in England. While a lot more $$$ than I wanted to spend, I...

And if you should ever get one of the various SH__## error codes continuously, you may get to experience the Yamaha Colonic like I did for over 7 months (where Yamaha blames your electrical farkles for their problems)! I traded my YAMA__CK for a 2009 BMW 1300 GT with all the options and I...

Dean, It really depends on what FEATURES are important to you. I had a 2730 which was replaced TWICE under warranty and the 2nd time Garmin replaced it with a 2820. If the 2820 had had an SD card slot for MP3, I would still have one! For my BMW 1300 GT, I got the BMW Navigator IV (Garmin 660)...

BF, The devices are getting better! Take the Nokia N97 for example... it has a lot of nice features and a lot FLAWS!!! I now use it as my primary phone + MP3 player because it works well for ME!!! Now if Nokia had just added more PROGRAM MEMORY (not storage) and a FASTER CPU, they would get...

BF, I guess the main thing to get out of this thread is what's important to the user. For example, I have hundreds of contacts in my phones but since I know what my friends look like, I don't need to see their picture on my phone :yahoo: ! As far as the MP3 scanning issue, to me this a...

BF, I tried going the non-Zumo route and my daughter wound up with a GPS for her car! It SUCKED on a bike to say the least even if it may have had a few more features than the Zumo 660. I got a 20% off coupon from my BMW dealer so I went ahead and purchased the BMW Navigator 4 (i.e. Zumo 660...

Even though I have sipping the Spaten Optimator. I can't agree with y'all more abut Florita beating LSU... it makes my life easier! :yahoo: ! Best Regards. Shane

The AE is a GREAT CONCEPT ride until your bike develops problems and you have to deal with the Yamaha YES "janitor"! When my 2006 AE worked, I really enjoyed it! After I started getting SH_## error codes, it was a pleasant ride and the Yamaha YES JANITOR did't give a F__K if my bike was ever...

Patriot, Would you like to meet for a ride & dinner next time I am down? My partner lives in Metairie! Our office is off of Causeway! Best Regards, Shane

I think you mean 3x6 (packs of Optimator) :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: ! No, I am not mistaken....the model for new new BMW speedster said he and you WERE BF :P ! I will send a PM when I am in your neck of the woods... the PVA show is in mid-February and I am hoping I can leave it mostly to...

I heard he was importing this one: :dribble: :dribble: :dribble: :dribble: ! Best regards, Shane

RH, Does this mean you are going to show me around Florida next February when I ride out to Tampa for the PVA Show :clapping: ! You should be back on TWO-WHEELS by then!!! I am glad we could all pitch in to help one of our own! Best Regards, Shane P.S. My contribution came with my famous...

The Yamaha 2006 FJR 1300 AE + 4 year plan + having to communicate with the YES JANITOR is why I own 2009 BMW 1300 GT!! Make sure you keep a documentation trail while dealing with Yamaha Custodian staff (YES) :yahoo: ! I hope Yamaha fixes your bike without giving you the YAMAHA COLONIC (I...

Jeff, I hope Yamaha does the right thing and fixes your bike PROMPTLY! The more threads I read with AE's having SHFT_## codes, I am so GLAD I FINALLY GOT RID OF IT! The AE is great technology but it still has a lot of work which is obvious by all the 2006 AE owners having problems! Best...

So do we have enough for the BBQ & BEER party at RH's location :rolleyes: ! Best Regards, Shane

So if the forum can get the RH's bike hauled to New Hampshire BEFORE winter hits, he should be able to ride home and enjoy the Florida WINTER :yahoo: ! I wish all forums were like this one! Best Regards, Shane

While I have NOTHING to add AFTER the fact, what I do when I travel is I carry one of the collapsible pet bowls in my top case. After I check into a motel, I take it out and the BEST white towels I can find at the motel and I wash all the SHIT off! The only time this plan doesn't work is when...
