Tank Damage

[Sidecar Flip]

Hats off to my dealer today, they ordered a new tank and replaced it while I waited. No cost to me.
Again make sure your handle bars are tight: if they slip down they will contact and damage your tank. Rademis

Good deal. I knew there was a TBS on the bar clamps.

Now...Make sure your belt is tight....If your trousers slip down, they will contact the ground. No damage done except your self esteem.

Did they fix the level arm while they were at it so your low fuel light comes on at the right time?

I didn't mean to do it!

I had the same thing happen on a rental R3 when I accidentally did a wheelie and the front wheel thumped back on the pavement. The bars dropped down enough to contact the tank when I turned to full lock when I was at a gas station afterwards.

Rental R3?

what company would be mental enough to rent R3s? Thats cool and where was it..

I was about to post the same thing, early on when I first switched out the stock pipes I was wheelie happy and one of them I didn't set the bike down as gently as normal and I felt the bars rotate down.. Luckily I was close enough to home to go home and tighten them up...

I made sure when I installed my T bars to get some loctite and to get teh bars in the perfect position .....
