unsolved mystery ....solved

[Speedballer347]

Anybody that saw me at BHF's at the opener heard me bitchin' that my rear-end was dangerously locking up & uncontrolably bouncing, anytime I squeezed the front brake hard.
Anyone that was close behind me prolly saw it bouncing ;D

Saturday, I was able to work around it, as I was just cruising around, learning the track.
Sunday though, the temps were up and everyone put there head down.  
It was a frustrating and scary bike to ride, and the increased speeds/leans on Sunday made the bike literally unridable.  Wound up chattering off the track and into the mud.

Anyway, no amount of suspension adjusting did anything to fix it.  I haven't even raced since BHF"s  :( cause the bike was way too dangerous to ride, and I couldn't figure out the prob.

After going through all the enginemount/swingarm/motormount torques, clutch, rebuilding forks, swingarm/wheelbase length, etc....We just found out (Sat) the shock had ZERO nitrogen in it. :P
Pressurized it and tried it out at Gateway trackday this past weekend.
I can't get the rearend to lock-up now :) :) :)   I am so happy I just had to post this nonsense :P  :D
See you guys at the next event :)

ps:  It's nice to be able to brake hard again :) ....and EBC's fade bad ;)

Erik, Just because your bike didn't handle well, doesn't mean you have to stop posting. Where have you been?
