an expensive little ride from a little drop.
I think little had to do with the drop itself, but with so many things going on it's hard to seperate.
Damage directly related to the drop was the gear lever and left handguard and a few scratches on the pannier racks and crash bars.
Mechanics thought i should have gotten more out of the clutch, but when I mentioned that the wear represents about 80,000k of commute into Brisbane(stop, slow, traffic light, slow, traffic light, slow, slow, stop etc) they seemed less concerned. I think it was just time and it decided that time was now.....
Still don't know exactly where to place the blame for the stator......
Stator was about $600, clutch about the same, off the road for about a week, add services, tyres etc, I think I spent about $3k-$4k on the bike in the last month or two of 2011.
At least the trip home was covered by RACQ.....
Cheers!
