Off all the times it could have happend, it had to happen now!

The blooming R6 decided to go and brake itself. Crying or Very sad

Now I have to try to bodge together the front fairing stay for the track day on Monday, because at present the font end is bouncing up and down over every bump!

Ummm!

oh ffs this is getting silly.

Brakes. Things that slow you down.

Break. To damage.

So the R6 decided to break itself, not brake itself. Is it so hard to learn?

Does it really matter? I got a D for english and I ain't botthered!

The reason why it has broking is that it was a stay that was weilded previously by the old owner. It as now broken at the weld due to vibration and wheelies!

So I am not blaming the bike, just the timming!

This is the Plan!

Get one of those small flat brackets from B&Q. Drill a couple of holes in the bracket and bolt the two together.

Stu, this is a common problem with R6's that spend a lot of time on the back wheel and lots of dodgy landings....

Yes you can! However the stay also keeps the headlight and the speedo attached to the bike!
