    Well, the easy way to test is go find some gravel and hit the brakes. Front and rear separately. I have done that on many occasions. There is also a procedure in the service manual, and also somewhere on this board or one of the others that tells you the procedure for testing the ABS pump...

    Awesome! But why keep getting rid of them? They can take the miles.

    Rear Rack Carrier/ Top Case Mount for 2020 FJR1300

    Can you be a bit more specific? Topcase I am assuming? If so, there are a couple aftermarket options like Givi and Shad, and if Yamaha, there is the plate that installs on the stock rack, or the stout aluminum rack that replaces the stock rack. Which I believe is no longer available.

    Odometer Error

    I've run two 190 rears and while the speedo and odometer were more accurate than the 180, and 'close' to being dead on, the 190 was not as accurate as the car tires I have run. That's my experience.

    Sold 2015 FJR 1300A

    While those miles on an FJR can mean nothing, you are competing with a million used FJRs out there with lower miles. Those miles scare lots of folks. The new price will hopefully attract some attention.

    Odometer Error

    VSS (Vehicle Speed Sensor) changed locations slightly over the Gens but all measured in the transmission, so yes, the rear wheel. Gen I FJRs speedo was off a couple mph. Odometer was off 2-3% optimistic. Gen II FJRs speedo was off the most - around 5mph at 80mph or so. Don't know the...

    Interesting. Glad you got it all sorted for a fairly reasonably priced repair.

    Unusual Tire Wear

    Scalloping. A not unusual occurrence in my experience. Some do, some don't. Who knows? Exacerbated my low pressure and braking while leaned over imho.

    TPMS Mounting

    After I posted above I found this on their website. It doesn't specifically say if the batteries can be replaced. Supposedly improved fixing Amazon complaints? Linky thingy: SRTP400 Elbow

    TPMS Mounting

    Good question on the reviews. There weren't any when I purchased a week or two ago. And now some unfavorable one's. I'll find out soon enough. I thought the wheel sensors had replaceable batteries but according to their website it is not an easy process requiring soldering. Life expectancy...

    Greetings all

    Congrats on the new FJR! Even if it is that horrible color. Anyone riding that fugly '07 maroon must not have had much of a mother. Just saying.....

    TPMS Mounting

    That is the route I was going to take also. But Sykik recently came out with a newer model with internal wheel sensors and the popular 83 degree valve stems. So, no having to deal with cost/weight of the T-stems. Mine arrived from Amazon a few days ago. It will be a while before I have...

    RIP marcusorelius

    Sad news. Unfortunately, time stops for no-one and most of us are most likely losing acquaintances faster then we are gaining them. Marcus was a good guy and always had a positive attitude. And Duke/Duchess were total chick magnets!
