according to my local dealer we wont even see one until april,and the blue /yellow wont be coming here at all.

 

Thought they added a slipper clutch.....If so, who needs rear brakes anyway...[sm=pcwhack.gif]

 

There is no slipper clutch on the 06 1000RR.

shoeman, how does the rear brake suck?

 

if you have a panic stop and need to use the rear brake to the point of a skid you are going to have to stand up put your heel on the peddel and shift your weight to your right foot to get a skid out of it by the way its a sunny day here how do i post a pic

 

posted a pic on my web page http://www.silverheelsinfo.com/index.html

 

As far as posting pics, when you reply to a post look at the bottom of the "Reply to Message" window, below the Message smiley’s you will see the word "File". To the right of "File" you will see "Click here to upload!" Click there and you will be prompted to post picks. Remember to select "Embed picture in post" Oh yea you pic file can't be to big so down size it if you need to.

Anyone know if the 06's have arrived at any Houston dealers yet?

 

Rear brake for a panic stop? God I hope not! If yer doin it right, the rear wheel should be a few inches off the ground! The rear brake is sure fire ticket to a off the road excursion, or a rear brake high-side.

We do fit a thumb rear brake, but its really designed to be used to control wheel spin out of the corner... Its nice to have that with 205+hp on tap!

For the 06, the Zero Gravity Windscreens are ready to go, on the shelf, saw them last week.

I have yet to see one on the north side.

 

I agree totally. I am in the practice of using my rear brake with my front but never to the point of locking the back up unless I purposely want to kick the rear around a little when stopping at a traffic light. Using the rear just a little not only helps slow the bike but it also slows the gyroscopic procession effect of the rear wheel helping to keep the rear down and not lifting due to the front end compressing under hard braking.
