I replaced my 550 with 390lm only two things to note 1)when you use the 390lm in the car cradle you cannot use it as a handsfree device for  your mobile (you could on the 550) 2)the bike cradle is quite flimsy with a push button to release the 390lm so I have fitted a self adhesive gopro tether to ensure it does not fall off ! There are reports of this happening !
It work faultlessly it torrential rain go through France earlier in the year.

Thanks for your info on the garmin most appreciated

Changed  my FJR  for the GTR  it was a 08 reg but always needed the extra gear but the new one now has the six speed gear box which will make this a great bike and will be hard to beat

M10 Flange Bolt with a 20mm thread, and M10 Flange Nut... You will also need a 15mm spanner for removing the nut when you have done a bobbin..

I have a nut and bolt I tighten up and rotate while spraying with break cleaner, some people use an Allen key and put that is and rotate it it I prefer the nut and bolt method.

Alan

Will try that Alan any idea on nut and bolt size thanks

Nah, it's tested on a rolling road.
What ya need to do is clean the bobbins on the front brake disks.
The rear is a fixed disk.
Yes, it is common, sometimes the bobbins jam and the disk wears oddly.
Clean out the bobbins with brake cleaner until they can rotate freely and then see how it is.

Thanks for the info will clean the bobbins out as I haven't done this  thanks

It might be helpful to include more information such as the YEAR of the bike.  Were you feeling any pulsing in the front through the levers?  Did it feel strange braking from the front?   Also, I've never heard of a rear rotor warping, not to say it can't.   How do they (MOT) determine if a rotor is warped?  So was the rear warped or just worn out (never heard of that either).  How many miles on it?

Hi the bike is 2008 with only 11000 miles on the clock can't feel no vibration  through the brake lever been told to try a new garage for a second opinion
