Hello, I recently acquired a FJ1200. It's still a mess, but I want to fix it.
I live in Japan, but the information on this forum is more useful than in Japan.
I'm not good at English, so I'll be using this forum with Google Translate in hand, thank you in advance!
ps.It's an ABS model, but I feel like there's an electrical leak from the ABS unit.Are such symptoms known?
Also, I can't find the torque rod for GSXR750, is there a replacement?

Hello and welcome to the group  :good2:

I'm sorry, but I don't understand what part you are referring to her. Could try to explain a little more please ? Google translate is probably not getting this question correct.

thank you for your reply.
I'm sorry that I expressed it in a way that was difficult to convey.
I'm currently thinking of replacing the rear wheel with a 17in one, so I'd like to use a GSXR750 wheel.
I'm collecting parts, but I can't find the rod that connects to the brake caliper&Flame. I have attached a parts list. I am looking for compatible parts. Is there any information on how to use it from other vehicles?

Looking for Part is List No.17

If you know what year of GSXR you're looking for it will help.

The item is called a Torque Arm.

I did a quick search on eBay (from the UK) and got a lot of results - here's a link to what I found.

Try searching on eBay Japan, you may have some luck.
