That is inevitably absorbed in the cost of new bikes.
Barry - Im curious how you were able to check and make sure that you brake lines were not touching the rotor WITH THE SUSPENSION FULLY COMPRESSED??

If you read the recall notice, they say that the left side brake line may come in contact with the left rotor UNDER HEAVY BRAKING conditions in which you bottom out the front suspension.

So - you may not wish to waste your time and your mechanics time, but Im having mine replaced as soon as possible. You'd have to be NUTS not to have it done (not that Im calling you names or anything....just saying generally.) ...on the way home yesterday, while thinking about this recall, I had four people pull some stupid move that caused me to have to jam on the brakes...and it was constantly going through my mind!

Seriously, I hope for your safety that you take yours to the dealership for the recall.


On another note, I called the dealer yesterday, and they said they werent even aware of the problem. NICE!
