Mud scraper removal & tire rotation - Yamaha RMAX 1000

I've been needing to rotate the tires and at the same time, I've wanted to get rid of the mud scrapers that always seem to harbor rocks. The last time I went for a big ride a rock must have got wedged in that mud scraper and it carved a groove in the wheel. So, it's time for them to GO! I personally don't think they are worth having, but it's your call if you want to keep them or not. They are easy to remove.

While I'm at it, I take a look at the brakes. This machine has only 1000 miles on it, but they are fairly hard miles. I also go over a few things to look for before you go out on a long adventure. It's always a good idea to give your machine a good once over before a trip.
