This sounds more like a load of crap from a Yamaha DEALER, than from Yamaha itself. Did you hear the lock-up story from the Yamaha guy yourself? I'm not trying to defend Yamaha here--none of you have had the run-around I've had with "them" (I don't think--correct me if I'm wrong--mine spent a t

Shawny, I always test independently my brakes, never had a lock up knock on Fred Grefe's head! I see Yami's crapola is still alive and well. As for your smart ass service guy giving you lip, send him my way I'll blast him with more than an e-mail. The list forced Yamaha into this policy and that'

Shawn, I'd be glad to have the service manager at my local dealer call your local dealer. He KNOWS that the ABS when working correctly works on either wheel or both because HE tested the bike. Granted I did have the Y.E.S. plan for mine back in May, but that's not the issue here. Let me know, or j

A load of crap indeed Shawn, what is the number for the Yamaha shop? Seriously! I think we should all call this shop and simply let them know how the GTS brakes are SUPPOSED to work. I'm not kidding here folks. Simply call and ask for the service department. "Hello, my name is Kevin Hawkins fr

Shawn Saw your post, want out and tested the rear brakes with the front brakes and without. The rear brakes pulsate either way. Had the HU changed about three weeks ago, did not have to pay for labor. Hope the folks at YAMAHA make good on their promise. Anyway, I'll be at the Honda Hoot in Ashe

Shawn My rear wheel used to lock up. That was what made me think the ABS was not working. It wasn't. Yamaha replaced it. Now the rear DOES NOT lock up. I have a very steep driveway which accumulates sand & gravel at the bottom. Used to always skid some. Now pulses instead. Front never locke

It IS total BS that the rear wheel is SUPPOSED to lock up, or that it WILL if you do not apply the front brake concurrently, even at very low speeds that might be considered too slow for the HU or the ABS electronics to react. I can cause HU pulsing on sand covered asphalt even at speeds under 10

I had a spongy rear brake and did a bleed job just yesterday. I tested the rear brake alone to see if I could get it to lock up and it did not! The ABS kicked in just like it is supposed to. This is without using the front at all. So the line about having to use front and rear is crap. Tom Czer
