    ABS Broken - Are all units the same?

    Hi, I tried to search but "ABS" is not allowed in the search (admin??). Anyway after a butt puckering moment (rear wheel locked) on the way to work this morning I have decided to get my ABS unit sorted. I understand this is a black box and can't be fixed? The ABS light is not lit up and ABS...

    1000km and loving it!

    There is a lot of choice in NZ for your lady! The 225 is a super little machine incredible fun (unlike the strangely popular and uninspiring GN250)!

    FJR Mileage Milestones

    Shame my Transalp doesn't count, clocked over 130,000 miles on it - that would put it up there with the '06s except it looks like the top post hasn't been updated for a while so some work to do yet...

    Braking Technique

    Lee Parks gives some really excellent advise on this! For my 2c Even when everything is turning to custard, the car is pulling out in front of you on a wet road covered in leaves DON'T PANIC! Panic is, by definition, uncontrolled and at that moment you need Total Control. I tend to use Max...
