Interesting ride this evening - lew600fazer - 19-07-14
Says to the Mrs off out on the bike for quick blast. There is a stretch of road not far from me in the mountains behind Benidorm where you can give it some.
I will post pics tomorrow as it was nearly dark by the time I limped home.
Anyway red line all the way up the box flying over this stretch and get this wierd vibration through the bars. Backed off sharpish and eased her down slowly, front end is not happy and niether is my ass. Brought her to a standstill and had a look around. I thought maybe I had a puncture so avioded grabbing a handful of brake. There is a bolt missing from the right hand side brake callipher a little bracket is floating around looks as if it secures the ABS ? sensing line/cable, also looks as if the brake pad is binding as well.
Have to be honest defo an oh shit moment when I actually realised the calliper is missing a bolt and as mentioned the outside pads look as if they are binding on. I very ginerly rode her home as did not want to abandon the bike were I was and chances of getting recovery from there at 8.30pm on a Saturday evening was zero. Pissed off as likely as not the pads are shagged and they were only renewed in April, would seem someone did not do there job as well as they should have.
