Dumped it

[ncj_23]

Layed the kat down today. i went and had a new tire put on and as i was getting on the free way on ramp i guess i didnt take it easy enough and it just slid right out from under me. I was taking it slow to break it in but i guess it wasnt slow enough. i broke the clutch lever, shift lever, and the left foot peg broke off with a piece of the rear set bracket. luckily i had all my gear on and came out without a scratch, just alittle shook up. if you guys know of any places i can find the parts used or cheap it would be greatly appreciated.

Sorry to hear it. What tires did you get? Some tires are slimier than others when they're new.

As for parts, hit the parts for sale section or ebay.

The damage doesn't sound too bad. I'm glad you had your gear on. I noticed in your sig that you also have a YZF600r...... nice bike as well!

sorry to hear that. glad you had your gear on. E-Bay has all you need, or you could keep your dollars in KR. I think a buck should take care of the new part. new parts ARE nice and shiny

Thanks guys i picked up everything I needed on ebay for around $75. Not too bad. I'm running a battlax 160/60. I should have taken a brillo pad to the tire before trying to get on the freeway.
I slid about 20 feet on my dip can, luckily that saved my butt lol.

Thanks! The yzf was my first bike. I love that thing!

Good to hear you're okay. Gotta watch those new tires. Wish I could help with parts, sadly, I don't have anything for ya, or it'd be yours.

[ErrEs]

Good that you're ok. Battlax should do well once you break them in.
Some repairs, some miles on the new parts and it's water under the bridge.

glad you are ok.

you can get really good prices from cheapbikeparts.com. I had to order a mirror and a speedometer cable. After my sisters kid knocked my bike over.

Was on a group ride with the San Diego Sportsbike Inititive and he told me about this Kat that went down on new tires. Small world. I got parts from a 600 that should work. You need anything else just hit me up. Know a guy that has a 93 750 for parts.

Yeah i had a few bikers pull over and help me out. I having a hard time finding the front left foot peg bracket. I've found every other one out there but not mine lol. On my bike the foot peg is attached to the heel guard.

Let me see what I have. Will pm u my number.

Have you tried Parts Unlimited in Stanton, CA? If they have it, I'll happily go down there and pick it up for you (local to anaheim)

I had my own down this week on Tuesday, after a beautiful ride through Carbon Canyon I busted out my headlight and broke off the front half of the front fender - I got distracted in stop-and-go when a yellow suzuki went by lanesplitting and didn't catch the GMC ahead of me stopped.

Sounds like your down was worse tho, glad your gear did its job and the Kat did what I bought mine to do - be cheap to repair when I inevitably drop it.
