I can't believe this ****.... I was out riding today for like 10 minutes, practicing no-throttle-handers and...

I brought back to slow it down, THEN: I felt a "POP!!!" in the rear brake then I was scraping(I didn't have my wheelie bar on ) I hit the brakes a few times and nothing so jump off the ****er running behind it pull in clutch and park it. I set it down and look at it, I had snapped the ****ing Caliper bracket that mounts to the Support bar to swingarm(GSXR1000). the caliper had rotated all the way around the rotor and also snapped the brake line!!!! WTF!

This blows. Now I need a caliper and lines, not to mention the tail i had just re-painted!!!

Anybody heard of this **** before? Daaaaamn, I have the worst luck!!!

 

I'm posting this in the Parts section now... anybody got one? I got 929 parts to trade!!!

 

holey crap...what was a good fast save man.

and what 929 parts do you have cause i need some.

 

 

i have a brake line for ya just pm me

 

I just PM'd you! Man I wish I had a camera to take pictures of this ****... I looked like a solid Peice that wouldn'e have EVER snapped...

 

suzuki , hmmm, maybe not fastend down tightly?????????

 

that's what I thought, cause I had just put on a new sprocket like 4-5 days ago, I have ridden on it twice since with NO problems, but it wasn't a bolt that snapped, it was a chunk of the caliper that mounts to a support bar to swing arm to prevent the Caliper from rotating around the rotor.... The damn thing's like 3/4 inch thick and 1 & 1/2 inch wide!!!!

 

Anybody got a picture of the caliper/ Mount I'm talking about?

 

pos

 

Nope, not that bar, but the chunk of Caliper that Goes into that bar, snapped right the fuhk off, it's still half in that bar....

 

This ****'s pretty fukked up right there! I know what you're talking about but I never heard of that part breaking off before. I think it's kinda scary too!

 

Scared the goddamn **** outta me, i'll tell you that!!!! Well, on the bright side I didn't dump it and parked with out a bar

 

pm if you still need parts. i have a spare swingarm, brake- cal, line, res, bar- everything. i know it's a suzuki, thats why i have a bunch of spare parts.

 

thats crazy dude!

 

That's pretty f-d up! Just goes to show that you never know what can happen.

 

sumthing wasnt installed right i bet....

 

dereklee + broken brake chunk thingy = PIMP SHEOT!!!!

 

I snapped right here and the peice that broke off is still bolted into the support arm. then the caliper rotated all the way around the rotor and popped the line... I've check it out again and everything's mounted correct, it just broke. Maybe the heat cycles weakened it and then it cracked under heavy braking? I dunno fuhk it...

 

hmm..i've been hearing about a lot of rear brake problems on gixxers. them over heating and boiling over or fading or whatever you call it.....i've never had that problem yet so i don't know....maybe it's the brake fluid.
