Default What have i done?

I was doing burn outs on my drive and everything was going to plan. however now my front brake no longer holds, also the clutch lever now has to be almost fully let out before it even bites. waht have i done to my beloved sv650s k4? i have booked it in at my local dealer but i hope to fix it my self before it goes in hope it does not cost a lot.

You silly sod.

Bring it to selkent/soho i'll take a look, your clutch proberly just needs adjusting.

Your front brake nolonger holds? When your doing burnouts or at all?

If its when your trying to do burnouts, you might have the revs too high to start with

Nothing, they come for free - However, a new one will cost you an arm & a leg

It'll probably need more adjustment than that, top-end is for fine adjustment, he may need the bottom of the clutch cable adjusting before the top...
