I was wondering why I had some extra nuts and bolts left over. Thanks for noticing that Wheatie.

After reassembly I had two error codes, Shift 22 & Shift 26. I checked out the shift foot switch and it appears to be defective. Basically the switch is a rheostat and the wiper that is supposed to change resistance when the shifter is operated has gone open. I called a local dealer and had heart palputations when I got quoted over $500 CAD for a new one and even if I ordered it the part is on backorder. The resale for a 15 year old AE is not much more than that.

I checked out all the online sites for used parts but being an AE specific part the pickings were very thin and I couldn’t find the part I was looking for. Fortunately I have my old mountain bike that I don't use anymore since getting my Intense Tazer e-MTB and the market is very hot. I should be able to get enough money out of my Kona Stinky Delux to pay for the switch. I went to the Ron Ayers website and was able for save over $100 and have it delivered right to my door. The error code Shift 26 should clear once I bleed the clutch system a few more times with luck.

I am really hoping to have the FJR functional before the Canada-USA border opens.

The connector is the same as the ABS test connector on the bike, but it is black instead of natural colour. It is located near the glove box. I don't think you need it to bleed the clutch, but to fine tune some parameters like idle speed thresholds, etc.

Clutch fluid on FJR's is often neglected, and I suspect those with AE's don't bleed it that often.... two year maintenance schedule. I've never owned an AE so can't help you that much..... FJRPittsburgh or Yamafitter might come to the white phone.......

To bleed the clutch fluid using the ignition key, here are the instructions sent to me by Brodie that worked perfectly.

1. Bleedscrew closed
2. Key switch on
3. Bleedscrew open
4. Bleedscrew closed
5. Key switch off
6. 10 second pause
7. Repeat

Continue to feed fluid into the clutch reservoir so you don't allow air into the system.

Simple one man job. But you'll be the simple one here instead of me.

Thanks Jeff.
That makes sense. I've heard if this before. I will try it as soon as I get a chance.
