[QUOTE="RossKean, post: 1453701, member: 19880"] 2004 is Gen 1 Gen II starts in 2007 (Edit: Correction - 2006!!) Might have been worth trying a slow charge on the battery although 6 years (since 2017) for a replacement isn't bad - I'm still running the original in my 2011 with 155,000 km although it will likely need replacement this year. Fuses are a bit awkward to get at but I have never had to change one in 450,000 km on two different Gen II bikes. Are you sure that the leak is from the brake slave cylinder - pretty uncommon? Far more likely is a front fork seal - fork fluid drips down and over the brake caliper... Quick way to tell - brake fluid is water soluble and fork oil is not. If it is a fork seal, I would try a "Seal Mate" to dislodge dirt before replacing seals (and bushings). [URL unfurl="true"]https://sealmate.net/[/URL] Not sure about Oz, but in North America, parts are available from a number of aftermarket vendors at a lower cost than the dealer, in most instances. For example [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.partzilla.com/catalog/yamaha/motorcycle/2004/fjr1300abs-fjr1300as[/URL] Parts fiche, descriptions, prices etc. There is at least one Australia FJR forum, but I don't know if they are active or not [URL unfurl="true"]http://www.fjr13.org/forum/index.php[/URL] Might want to search for others, if you want more local information. Edit: Good luck and welcome to the forum! [/QUOTE]
