mainly worrying because after the accident back in september, she has been in total bits, and been converted into a yamasuki. should pass ok though, only 2 main worries really....front disc, bit of movement in it, and also the exhaust hanger.....the fact that i dont have one!. it is very sturdy and also has a stubby can on it so i am hoping it will be ok.
just incase...anyone know where you can get cheap discs??? |

You will get judders in the handlebars when braking. This will make the bearings worse. Your steering will go from smooth left to right to being notchy. If you go into a corner with the brakes on and try to counter steer, it will be difficult and the possibility of an accident because you did not go where you thought you were going to go. Should they collapse whilst riding, well that could have catastrophic consequences. |
