Always check your..

[Teflon]

Check for loose fasteners before going for a ride. Shit always happens at the worst possible time..

[Warr]

That sure is impressive. Call on around and tell us all the story!!

[Teflon]

yeah will do.. still have that pack rack for you.

[marty]

And you didn't realise this how?

[Teflon]

I knew alright.. thought it was engine probs.. knocking, rapid deceleration.. thought it was fucking bearing.. so glad to see that.

i think everyone has had some fairing fall off while riding. I know I have.


Thats why I always carry a pack of large zipties now.

Never in 27 years have I had anything fall off (a bike). Always check your bike over regularly and especially after a 'professional' has serviced it.

Make sure you load it carefully travelling this summer as well.

Bugger! Time for a carbon fibre replacement maybe...

Thats the best advise ....you should notice things in the general washing cleaning of the bike

Bugger how did that happen ?

[Teflon]

Just lack of maintenance. Both fasteners came loose some how..

Air pressure was a factor.. minute i felt the knocking through the bike, hit the kill switch, came to a stop, got off the bike expecting the worse.. When i saw the front fender i thought to myself, fucking sweet.

Priced one up from the states. Around 600$ ( NZ ).

100% agree, the only bike I ever had things fall off was the only bike I ever managed to buy brand new.....Shocking....never trust "professionals" indeed.
Dirtbikes are very usefull in the learning curve.... spending a lot of time tinkering and tightening...( and use locktight on the bits that keep losening to often)

Shite!

Have you asked Sparkz if his outfit make one for your bike? I think he quoted me something like $190 nz for my FZ1.

I fall off my bike often,

in the words of the late great loosebruce....

"I hardly stay on a bike long enough to call it riding" :laugh:

Most of the cost was in UPS shipping, worldwide saver 2/3 day.

$190 sounds good, and within my price range. I expect to pay twice that for OE plastics.

I had a footpeg break off my first bike, in 1974ish.
And I've fallen off a couple of times.
