I put on new rotor and pads yesterday so I'll just chalk it up this time to normal wear and tear and keep a closer eye on it in the future. I was more concerned with the uneven wear on the rotor. The pads wore even but the rotor didn't, looked grooved from debris. The grooving was similar on...

Wonder what's going on with mine at 28K miles? I don't even use the rear brake by itself, just go with the front brake lever and the linked setup. I'll check the rear caliper, order new OEM rotor and pads and try again and see what happens

Gen1 bike. I'm getting uneven wear on my rear brake rotor. I've only have had to replace the rear pads with OEM once in 28K miles. The pads look good but the rotor has developed some rather wide grooves in it so both will get replaced. I'm fairly EZ on the brakes and let the linked braking...

How about a factory service manual?

It just is a bit annoying to me that after you spend $150+ on a premium battery and then have to grind/file/drill parts for it to fit correctly. I'll get with AG Monday with some pictures and hear what they have to say.

Bought a Anti Gravity ATZ10 "Restart". Went to install it and the + post is to short for the + terminal to align/fit correctly. The negative post was fine. What ends up happening is the terminal bolt hole won't fully align to let the bolt to pass through. Seems the AG terminal post is a...

If you want big CCAs (360cca and 12 AMP/Hr) look at the Anti Gravity ATZ10 Lith Battery Also I carry a Mini Jump Stater from Rocky Mountain MC Cost $60 https://www.rockymountainatvmc.com/parts/tusk-mini-portable-power-and-jump-starter-p?s=1596373...

and your bank account. Between the buy in cost and increased maintenance intervals you will need to pony up extra $. Plus you will probably not be able to ride by a Starbucks coffee shop without stopping. Sorry that was uncalled for...not!

Interesting as I just had put on a new rear K60 and this was the first ride on it when I noted the front end condition! Eric that is a pretty good mileage number for a rear K60, typicaly I get around 8500 at about the same 10-20% off road (read: forest roads). I am currently running 47psi on...

HeliMark, I agree and felt the same when I was testing for the condition. I have approx. 4500 on this front tire and I wonder how much more tire life could be expected from running say 35psi on a K60?

I have checked the steering head bearings, as stated. I have not ruled out the tires, in fact that is where I'm focused on.

I choose the K60 Scouts because I wanted a gnarly built tire that I could depend on when riding two up on gravel/dirt. I also understand that a lot of folks run higher pressure in these tires, some run as much as 50psi (rear). Jaxson (Ride on Adv) I think is one.

On a recent road ride I notice a kinda strange, minor squirm/movement through the handle bars/front tire (Heidenau K60 Scout) in the last 5-10 mph to full stop. This is my third set of these tires and this was the first time I notice the condition. It kinda felt like the front brakes were...

While the Yamaha is a proven, rock solid mount it is getting long in the tooth. For the most part it's the same bike with different paint for the last what, 5 years? That spells b-o-r-i-n-g and pretty much everyone who would want a Tenere' has already bought one. Is the Yamaha a better value...

I think alot of folks are drifting away from the 1000cc+ ADV bikes anyway.
