There was/is a recall for the rear brake. Mine had the problem but a new master cylinder (larger internal bore I believe) was fitted and it's been fine ever since.
I'm currently running the 888's as there was no other choice and whilst acceptable in the dry, I've found them terrible in the wet. Scary lack of grip.
So, really looking forward to trying the Cruisetec - has anyone run these in the wet yet?
So if you wet it you'll void the warranty but if you don't wet it (for washing) you'll void the warranty - cheeky buggers! :rolleyes:
FWIW, I've ridden for hours at a time in torrential rain at highway speeds without any problems
If it came with it, it wouldn't bother me but for street riding, it's a complete waste of (that kind of) money IMHO.
I prefer the mechanical interaction at the cost of a few milliseconds when riding on public roads.
Something along these lines may do the trick - I don't know for sure, I just stumbled on this product the other day so I do not vouch for or endorse it.

Looks like Denali and a number of others make similar types of plug 'n' play interfaces but I've not seen anything...
I personally couldn't trust just the suction cups. When it inevitably lets go... possible damage, distraction, crash (you or the poor bugger(s) following).
Fixing it to the strap as you've suggested (plus suckers too for stability) seems to be a good way to go.
Dayum, how? Both myself & a riding friend had completely butchered two full sets (each) of the Avons in our first 20K kms.
I wonder if the generally cooler/wetter weather you'd have would make that much of a difference?
Just got my recall email today too.
Haven't had a problem with the rear brake since the early days when it needed to be re-bled after going soft suddenly... ahem :rolleyes:
So after the seat, swap the bars for a pair of clip-ons and add some rearsets (somehow almost halfway down the swing arm) and you'd be good to go :p
Would be like sitting on that Dodge Tomahawk from years ago.
I doubt it but thankfully it's just a few bolts & it swings out of the way.
Can't see any reason another brand filter would make any difference unless it was substantially shorter.
Turn the bars to the right & have a look behind the black cowl behind the headlights that the fly screen bolts to the top off.
The hose from the sensor runs down the edge here & terminates above the bottom triple clamp - follow this up & check if it's kinked/pinched anywhere.
I had the same thing with mine & was able to compare that with a friends R3 bought at the same time.
Turned out that the rubber hose leading to the temp sensor was kinked & restricting airflow. I just rerouted & now it's reading within 0.5'C of the other R3.
