I was lucky to get a shot of an original "super-sport" German touring bike while I was in Berlin: :yahoo: I saw the rider "peddling" the bike down the street and when he saw I wanted a picture, he turned around and came to the corner for a pose! Best Regards, Shane

I purchased a RAMBox AquaMount Box 6 sometime ago and it will hope most any 4.3" GPS. Based on the reviews / price of the Garmin Zumo 660, I am seriously considering getting a Garmin 765T and using it on my bike. Has anyone used one of the Garmin Nuvi's on a bike? If so, how was the screen in...

I am getting ready to trade my 2006 FJR AE in and I seem to have misplaced my rear-passenger seat (I have a Corbin Smuggler that I will be selling). Since I am returning my bike to stock, I need a passenger seat. Please let me know if you have one available at a reasonable price! Thanks, Shane

As many of you know, I have been having various intermittent electrical problems with my bike for the past year or so. Every time Yamaha has the bike taken into the shop, they keep fixating and blaming my problems on the electrical farkles (mainly the cruise control). Well, the latest SHFT_26...

I can't believe I am away on a weekend ride & my FJR is leaving me stranded YET AGAIN! I went outside, packed her up, and then tried to start her. I am getting the shft_26 error on the AE and I can't get her to roll-over. I am still 400 miles from home and it is SUNDAY!!!! Any suggestions? I...

Well, as many of you know, my bike has been at the dealer since December 17, 2008 for electrical problems. The problems have been blamed on: 1) Air Horn 2) then trailer hitch power (not used much) 3) and lastly the Audiovox Cruise Control installed my Smitty. While the Yamaha rep (not...

Well, I finally picked up my bike today - it has been at the dealers since December 17 when I experienced the "Ignition Switch Failure!".... Then when I tried to pick the bike up on Monday December 29, I experienced the engine dying and all the lights on the dashboard were lit up (bike must...

Well, I got a call today and after all my daily chats with Yamaha Customer Service and Woods Fun Center in Austin, my bike seems to be running correctly (I get to go pick it up next week with all my accessories disconnected)! I have been having various electrical problems since the Fall of 2007...

My 2006 FJR1300 AE has been having various electrical problems since last fall (2007). The problems have gotten progressively worse as time has progressed. All of my 3rd party electrical accessories have been on the bike since August 2006 and I never had a problem with any of them / bike before...

I have had several times where my bike has been "locked" into the SH__36 error code. All times it has happened I have been able to get the bike started by moving the bike up / down if I was fortunate to have it in neutral! Today it did it again where it was locked in 1st gear and always gave me...

I am considering getting both the Synergy jacket and pant liners for this coming winter. Questions: 1) Can I safely run both on the bike's electrical system? 2) Do I need to get a "dual" cigarette lighter outlet or do they connect directly to the battery? Best Regards, Shane P.S. I have a...

While in Rome @ the Colosseum, I saw my first FJR after being in Europe for about 3 weeks! The bike had a tank protector / bag system which was some what color matched to the bike (which was a very BEAUTIFUL color called Desert Gold)! Any how, I would like to find out more information about...

I get the SH___26 on my 2006 FJR1300AE lately. If I turn off all things I left on from the previous ride, it clears. I am guessing it is time for a new battery but I want to make sure it is that simple. Best Regards, Shane

Write software code so I can go for a ride :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: ! Sorry for the bogus post, but looking out the window here in College Station Texas is making it hard to write code as the skies are BLUE and the temperature is in the 70's!!!!! Oh well, back to work (maybe a couple of...

Well, I have ridden my 2006 FJR1300AE about 2,300 miles and I am averaging 39.23mpg (unadjusted). The actual fuel log can be seen in the pdf below: www.StumpWare.com/Shanes_FJR1300AE_2006_RunningFuelLog.pdf I am wondering how others in Texas are averaging in non-city riding (I live in the...

Has anyone installed an Audiovox CCS100 cruise control on the AE? Is there anything tricky about it? I am just asking before I get / install it early next week. Best Regards, Shane

I have the SAENG/TA V.3 Micro-Swirl Edging on my GL1800 windshield and it does an EXCELLENT job at keeping the rain from coming over the windshield into the rider's area. I was wondering if anyone has found another source for a similar product that is CLEAR (i.e. NOT BLACK)? I just installed my...
