Author Message   Phelan Posted on Sunday, June 06, 2010 - 02:55 pm:        I went for a ride today and front brake was almost non-existent. Pulled into the station to see that the right fork seal is leaking fluid all over the rotor/caliper. Oh the fun...   Phelan Posted on Sunday, June 06, 2010 - 02:58 pm:        Btw, I'm not gonna give up on this bike, but I can't wait until it's not my daily ride. Saving my pennies for a CR.   Shot_gun Posted on Sunday, June 06, 2010 - 07:18 pm:        Or if you can scrape up(beg borrow or ...) $300 you could buy a new set!   Phelan Posted on Sunday, June 06, 2010 - 10:11 pm:        No, I have XB forks and wheels.   Bartimus Posted on Monday, June 07, 2010 - 12:30 am:        stop doing wheelies!   Ratbuell Posted on Monday, June 07, 2010 - 08:05 am:        Just out of curiosity...did you change your spring rates when you put an XB front end on a Tuber? Tubers are PORKERS compared to the XB's....even without wheelies you could be 'bouncing' them around too much just from the weight difference....   Phelan Posted on Monday, June 07, 2010 - 09:00 am:        No, I always ride solo so I just turned the preload up. I didn't have the funds for a respring.   Shot_gun Posted on Monday, June 07, 2010 - 05:58 pm:        Ross I feel your pain. I rode on last monday and blew oil out all over the right side of the brake engine ect from the right fork. Today I was riding home and something doesn't feel right. It has a lot of very "buzzy" type vibration. The engine runs fine with no acceleration problems so I check the iso's, both rears are good and then I check the front... It's collapsed! I just replaced it 4329 miles ago or a little over a year ago. I was hoping to get a little more milage out of it but I guess I asking to much. I don't even do wheelies any more.. or any less (Message edited by shot_gun on June 07, 2010)   Phelan Posted on Monday, June 07, 2010 - 06:41 pm:        You probably got a bad drag specialties iso. A few others have as well. I have the drag iso but so far so good, just extra vibration. Buell recently came out with a new alternative that works very well according to most reports.   Shot_gun Posted on Monday, June 07, 2010 - 08:36 pm:        Yea I just saw the thread on that and ordered it. It was about 30 bucks. Hopefully it smoothes everyhting out because for a while there I thought I was losing my mind.
