Removal of tires on a FJ ABS

[Tex]

Hello all,

  Now that I have her up and running I need to get tires. Going with Pirelli demon. So the question is how hard is it to take rims off of a 1200 with ABS? Seeing it will save me $160 if I do it my self. Any advise or suggestions?  Thanks.

You just remove the sensors and then the wheels come off normally.

I recommend, if you can, spend the extra money for a set of radials.

They ride & handle much, much better.

Just watch the routing of that rear sensor as you're taking it off...takes a little fiddling, but not a big deal.  I find it helpful to take a couple of reference pictures to look at later during assembly.  Funny how when everything is dangling off your bike, you can't seem to remember if the wire goes under that clip or over that clip.   

I enjoyed the Pirelli Sport Demons...You'll get exactly 5500 miles out of the rear if you weigh 210lbs, carry 120 lbs of camping gear in some Givi hard cases and run 80% slab and 20% twisties.

Having that rear tire being a 16 makes it hard to find a tire that fits. My choices seem limited.

Ain't that the truth. Already has happened once. Pictures will be taken. Thanks for the advice.

  This is my first full season running the Pirelli Sport Demons and have nothing negative to say about them...

Highways, twisties, solo, two-up, wet & dry conditions, they handle very well...
