Anybody else notice the obvious in this thread? Dealers don't use the holder tool, 'cause they have air tools. "Zap on and zap off", as Stu says. This means that they are miles off the correct torque value when they re-install the rotor. What a shock. In all my years as a motorcyclist, I've only run into ONE dealer mechanic who actually used a torque wrench consistently... ...and about 50 who were willing to lie to me about it! Steve Rolfe '02 A16, sick of so-called dealer "mechanics" who can't even adjust a drive chain properly...

Anybody ever heard anything or news about the Julian fire. Heared on radio that they evacuated all people within the area. Wonder what happened to our friends especially Buddy Sieffert ( who always sponsor our Julian Tech Day), to Mr.Elden Carl who's opinion are always treasured. And to the rest of the gang living within the vicinity. Any info from anybody will help in order for us to reciprocate in anyway the things that they've been doing to make our sport extra interesting. Any point of contact will help to.
