Almost....a defector, ugh!

Post by opposedtwin »

Ok y'all. Bought me a 2007 Yamaha FJR1300A with 5K miles while I attempt to sort out, primarily, brake issues ie, flashing ABS lights and no rear brakes on my '02 1150R. Must admit I have become expert at removing the fuel tank. Doing that hasn't helped brake issues in the slightest, however, lol. Will decide in the next two weeks which bike to keep. The Yamaha is a great bike; fast, smooth, and reliable. Adjustment will be getting used to the additional weight and lack of a clutch lever. At the moment a new BMW is price prohibitive. I'll report back in a couple weeks.

I'm sure fixing the brake problem will be much cheaper than a new bike.
