    Brilliant video, my rear shock gave out on me after 88k kms, just had a long ride over rough roads with luggage loading the rear down, a few days after I came home I was riding on the spring and nothing else :P I'm about to mount a Wilbers rear shock this afternoon, so I figured I'd service the linkage at the same time, I very much appreciate the guidance.

    thank you for this guide, mine is a 2010, the abs light is always on. I did the same steps and the pump is working. I repeated it several times and the light is still on with no error codes displayed at all. It did not even blink after jumping the wires for the test mode its just solid light. do you have any Idea about this issue?

      Hi there. Yes it can be done. Its not a trivial job though. The front and rear bearings would need to have a grease port drilled through the outer race which is hardend steel. You really need a milling machine and carbide tooling to do this. I know it has been done but it is alot of work.

    • @simonhay-heddle3848
      @simonhay-heddle3848 2 роки тому

      If all you want to do is change the dog bones. All you need to do is put the bike on the center stand and support the rear wheel so there is no load on them. That way the bolts just slide out. The need to suspend the bike is due to having to remove the centre stand to gain access to the bolt at the front of the rocker arm.

    I'm VERY curious about those needle-roller bearings in the linkages - you claim that the rollers will FALL OUT if the inner shaft is removed. I have done this job on other Japanese streetbikes of the era, and all have been CAPTURED rollers, (i.e., caged)... and never seen one yet where the rollers are flopping around in there loosely. Are you sure about that.. but personal experience? PS- when working (lying) on the floor, there's nothing like a nice 2' x 4' piece of thick cardboard to lie on.

      @simonhay-heddle3848 3 роки тому

      Hi there I to was very surprised by this claim when I first read about it for the same reasons you outlined. My only thoughts were that if the bearing cage could become a little worn particularly if lubrication wasn't that good. Its never happened to me but since a simple change in normal procedure can eliminate the risk I didn't want anyone to find out the hard way if the risk was genuine 😃

My bet is that those needle rollers MUST be caged in there; I worked in bearing manufacture for years.. and I can't see how you could have just loose rollers bunching-up in there. Report later!

And dealers dont' want to do this job either? ha! i know kawasaki, the older concourse, had grease fittings in that wishbone, made the job a cinch! but of course, yamaha was trying to get dealers more money by giving them this huge service, kind of backfired. I did mine (i have a 2016) and removed the swingarm from the bike, bought a lift from Abba over in england (i live in NJ United states) and that helped a great deal...only thing was i wasn't watching when i unloaded the bike and broke off a foot pedal in the process. That was the only issue i had with it.

What I would do is clear the faults as I outlined in the video and check the battery voltage ( 53/54 is low voltage). Then ride the bike and see what faults if any reappear . A bad battery and/or poor earthing can cause all sorts of problems. Hope that helps.

      Thanks for responding. Between your video and Twowheelobsession's video I managed to get this done a few days ago. You can't get that jumper in the U.S. anymore so I took two alligator clips and connected them with a piece of wire. To help others find the two posts you are jumping: When the connection box is still on the post, it is the two left-most pins. Off the bike and with the internal blank removed it is the two pins on the "high" side of the plastic box. Best way is to look on the bike and make sure you are connecting the sky blue wire to the black and white wire.

    Thank you very much Simon for uploading this video. My FJR is a Gen 1, 2005. I finally found the ABS test connector just aft of my battery. But to identify the dummy cover I needed to see it in your video. I used a wire that had alligator clips on each end to jump the lt blue and black wires. My issue was that I could not get a firm rear break pedal. I had to cycle the ABS unit. And it worked! FYI, the same steps you demonstrated, also work by pushing the rear break pedal. At least on my Gen 1. Thanks very much for you help, and the entertainment your granddaughter provided.
