[QUOTE="ELP_JC, post: 296677, member: 6177"] On the 'ticking', motors with mechanical valve actuation will never be silent, hot or cold. It's hard to diagnose something from the net, but it'd be extremely unlikely anything is wrong with your motor. Best thing to do is check the oil level, and if fine, go to your dealer and fire up another FJR, and you'll have your answer right there. On the ABS issue, only the front wheel is off the bike in the crate. The ABS 'hub' has an indentation that has to be aligned with a tab in the inner middle of the left fork (pointing to the other fork, if that makes sense). Take a look at the hub and it'll be obvious if it's installed correctly. The wire for the sensor should come out close to the fork, but not pinched against it, like if the hub was rotated forward. Or too far away, like if rotated rearward. But better yet, when you go to the dealer to listen to another FJR, compare both bikes side to side so you can spot any difference. Good luck. JC [/QUOTE]
