What have you done on your bike today?

Yep, he was riding it, had just accelerated past a car when, in his words, it was like the rear brake had suddenly been applied with maximum force and seized on 😮, locking the rear wheel. In actual fact it’s the bush on the suspension linkage which has collapsed causing the suspension to sheer off its lower mounting linkage and the rear subframe of the bike make contact with the rear wheel.

If he is as fat as exi, that would cause the rear suspension to collapse :unsure:

My Superduke used to do it. It wasn't a pulse so much as binding groan at one point in the rotation when the bike was pushed along at walking pace. I checked the discs as best I could by spinning against a pointer and I could find nothing wrong with the discs themselves. They appeared to be perfectly true. Without a jig to present the pointer at exactly 90 degrees to the wheel spindle it was impossible to accurately check the machining of the mating surfaces on the wheel hub that the discs are bolted to. But it was my best guess that that was where the problem lay.
Initially KTM replaced some discs under warranty then they stopped doing that and claimed a certain amount of run-out was normal, which is pretty much an admission that the milling on the hubs was out of true.
I've heard of similar problems on other bikes too, though not that I know of on Ducatis.
Mine wasn't that bad. I only had the slow speed groan. There was no binding and nothing detectable at the lever at speed. The brakes on my 1190 are perfect, but that has laced wheels. I'm convinced there are machining issues on some cast wheels. And I bet few manufactures make all their wheels in-house. Most are out-sourced which would explain why this problem occurs across different makes of bike.
 
Rode home from Auckland today on my CFmoto. A few days ago I downloaded the app. CFride. And while I was relaxing with a cuppa after I got home, I thought I would see how and what it does.
When you load it onto your phone, it asks for the vin number. Then it takes over and adds the vehicle make and model along with the engine number. There is also a pairing sequence which I have not done but even without that the information it has is a bit on the “should I worry” side. This information is downloaded to CFmoto and then back to you and it is like a log of exactly what happens to the bike.
So here is my today’s ride. Check out all the attached info!

When paired it will send all your info, emails and contacts to 'Xi Ping Tong Ting Terrorist Regime Man' in China and record evey word you say 🐼
 
and, when they want to, the Chinese Govt will take over your bike and you will only be able to ride it where they permit you to and if you go off course they will remotely shut down the ECU. They will be monitoring your every move through the 5G network and whilst you’re standing on the side of the road you shouldn’t be on, with a non-responsive bike, they will send their army of drones to fly in and pick you up and take you to a secret location onboard an invisible ship in the Pacific ocean where you will be injected with a gene altering vaccination that will ensure, once the drones return you, you never deviate from the correct path again.

Oh, and, you don’t have a Huawei phone do you? Because if you do, you are so fooked.

😜

This is somewhat reassuring as I forget so much of what I have said these days!

I am pretty sure there is an anal probe involved too and I dont even have to pay for it this time!
"Waa waayyy" is the noise you blurt out as it goes in!

Today I’ve ridden 150 miles on the Multi. It was between 2 and 5 degrees. I made good progress, there was a lot of traffic (not many Lorrie’s) thus the inside lane was empty as no one wanted to move over😖🤪
The milo meter now reads 50,120 miles

I nearly got 80K on my now dead 900ie and with a bit of engine tlc it would of done that again easy. (y) Can't remember off hand what's on the 996 but i know it's close to 30K.:)

Errrr, as well as recording the data on their behalf, isn’t Laava actually paying to send the data to the mothership.

Not a bad business plan imho…..

I don't feel like I am paying for it but certainly considering removing the app from my phone. But to be honest I think it is the bike they are monitoring and not my phone in particular. Which would have been happening whether I have the app or not…
How many other machines are doing exactly the same I wonder? Also, as a side issue, I obviously didn't read the screeds of conditions on the app download before I agreed to it. Has me kinda interested now…

So it turns out that the Ford Rangers, PX3 on, have exactly the same type of app, so probably all newish Fords I am picking? Just found out tonight. With exactly the same monitoring by the manufacturer happening…
