I havent even ridden this thing for real yet... I went for a rip down my driveway, at the top of 3rd gear went for a rear brake slide into the corner, and.....no rear brake. Grabbed a fist full of front brake locked her up and down I went....slid about 20' on the gravel with of course no safety gear. As luck would have it a 5" deep puddle slowed my slide. Now im sore, scratched to sh!t and my bike needs new grips. Turns out the bolt connecting the cylinder and the linkage fell out, but it was just in seconds before.
Geez Poopy Sorry to hear about your fall. Hope you're OK. Out of all the bikes I've had I don't think I've ever had that come apart. It's usually a pin with a cotter pin. Not a bolt. Did you install the PowerNow yet?
Ya im not sure why they thought a bolt was a good idea....and its a short one at that. Nope havent put the power now in. I want to ride it for a while and get a baseline to see if i notice a difference.
werd. i almost always put on sunglasses (to keep the bugs out) before i start my bike in sneakers and ride around the neighborhood helmetless and in shorts doing wheelies to test some jetting change before i load up and drive the 4 miles to the nearest real dirt. Reminds me to go over the bolts and loctite a few things before this weekend's race tho.
