    At the risk of starting a war of opinions. Has anyone put a Michelin Comander on the rear of their bike if so how well do you like it?

    So we went yesterday & picked my daughters bike. It's a Kawasaki Vulcan 800. It really is a nice ride. I got to ride it home because she hasn't ridden in about 3 years & was nervous. I was ok with that. I got to ride her bike[emoji3]

    rear suspension

    Lots of things going on in the back end of a scoot.. Could be dryness on the swingarm bushings, shock linkage, loose shock, rear brake caliper related, dry pins in the drive, shock wore out, bearing related or - even a stick/weeds stuck in there somewhere from doing a little two trackin :hihi:.. I am with Black Wing = give er a good shake down and see what ya find..

    I had a sticky brake on the back of Tweeksis, put her up on the center stand - cleaned the rear brake pistons = seems much better so far but - while I was cleaning em I put a little side pressure on her back end and heard a "swooshing" sound that sounded like a horse shooing away flies with its tail :yikes:.. Investigation into the new noise showed that the red - white n blue party beads she has hanging on her rear rack were moving and rubbing on her rear rack :rotf:... You havent added any new bling on your scoot that may be causing a new noise have you Speed?

    No Puc I haven't. It's up on the center stand now. I'll look more closely when I get off work tomorrow.

    Ok So I was out riding out yesterday on my way to a family reunion. when I started to hear a clicking noise out of the rear suspension. At first I didn't know where it was at. But today riding around town running some errands I noticed it would make this clicking noise at low speeds every time I hit a bump. 1st let me put this in. My class system is showing 50 pounds in the rear. it still has a nice comfortable ride. I just don't know about the clicking noise. Has anyone had this issue?

     

     

     

    thanks in advance
