Did you do that on smooth pavement? If so, that's some serious leaning!

On a big sweeper I ground the _crap_ out of my right peg, just gzgzgzgzgzgzgzgk (sounded like hitting metal with a bench grinder) and to make sure it wasn't a fluke, I managed to grind the left one a hair, too. Got'em both down a few times, coming down the hill from the Sequoia National Forest on HWY 190 towards Springville. Before you think, "Hey, CA Stu is a big tub of goo, I bet he just bottomed out.." I have Progressive springs in the front, and the rear shock preload set at 4. And I'm just a baby boy.

No doubt, pound for pound, mile for mile, elevation drop extreme, that section of 190 from Quaking Aspen to Springville is is one of the top five "twisties" in America.

You couldn't have picked a better spot to touch down if you tried. I call that "Windy 190".

I still find the max pucker on Hwy. 1 between Bodega Bay and Fort Brag. Jenner is where I left some left peg on the road being hottailed by three GS scooters, but I was two-up! Those GS's still corner like crazy though for being a big fat toady wann-be dirt bike... (hey! that is also a discription of the KLR!) Hhe, heh, heh... == Rev.

Hey Stu, I scraped my pegs (and gearshift lever, and alternator cover, and handlebars, and knees and elbows and .....) too! My nifty riding also produced some nasty metal to rock grinding sounds. Big bike + big rock + big head = trouble! Nothing that a tad of JB Weld and Neosporin couldn't fix...... Knot - Busted at "Slick Rock" (Tellico ORV) ps: Digital photos not available. But, I did mark the spot with the oil that was oozing from my busted alternator cover.

Hi Gang: I noticed someone on the list was speaking of flywheel pullers. It reminded me to post this note about a motorcycle tool manufacturer/supplier to the list. These guys make tools for motorcycle manufacturers and dealers, but they also sell to end users. I don't think too many people know of them. I found out about them because they bought some of the portable exhaust analyzers that my company makes. Their website is http://www.americakowaseiki.com They have lots of goodies. Ron
