Didn't mention this in my picture thread, but 1/2 way between Jerome, Az. and Bullhead City, Az. I lost my rear breaks. Rode it home with only the fronts, didn't have any problems. So, yesterday I put her on the lift to see what could have gone wrong.
Just in front of the clutch cover the clutch cable's stainless steel sleeve had been rubbing against the rear break line. I guess 22,000 miles of rubbing finally wore a hole in the line. I had 'squirted' all the break fluid on the way down the mountain from Jerome. 5 dealers close to home, and the best appointment I could get was the 14th! You ask why don't I fix it myself??? The bike is still under warranty. Parts would cost me a couple hundred bucks, and they wouldn't give them to me.
