I just want to be clear here. I said I think my brakes are crappy. But the bike is not dangerous to drive and it doesn't need dealership attention. They just don't perform like I'd expect from a Yamaha bike. I just want them to be better. Now that I know that I should be able to engage ABS...

When did I say I drag the back brake?

I guess I'll start checking everything over again. But I've pretty much been through it all already. All except the ABS pump. I did not know there was a way to activate it without riding it. I'll have to read that post. Thanks for finding that Dennis. Here's a few answers for those of you...

Not for a lack of trying. I've had a handful of brake on that bike many times and I've never felt the ABS. Well, I guess I'll be troubleshooting that this weekend.

The michelins are the easiest I've done on my nomar. Continentals were by far the hardest. When I was starting out, I really struggled with the last little bit of the rear. I was using the lube in the right spots, but I found the tire would rotate no matter how tight. I used a bar inside the...

I just bent the little tabs that act as stoppers. So on one side it goes past the stopper position. And I just give it a quick pull towards me when I want to release it. Very easy fix. Mine never falls, even in wind.

I got the same Givi setup. I love it. I even got the remote control.

Of all the bikes I've owned I'd have to say the FJR brakes have been the crappiest. Yes, I know its a heavy bike and its a linked system and and and. I don't care about the excuses I keep telling myself. Surely braided lines can help. The only braided lines I've every had were on my KTM...

I find with Zumo firmware updates that re-pairing afterwards is a good practice. When I went to 3.1 I repaired the Sena 20s and iPhone all over again and it all seemed to work out OK.
