Hello all!
I took my AT out on dirt the first time today. I promised myself i wouldnt until my Touratech crash bars came in (seriously WTF touratech) but my buddy and his BMW were taunting me. So of course, i laid it down. Softly. I would call it
"kissing the ground". I need to trust the bike, myself, and carry some more speed from now on in the mud!
First the bike is awesome on gravel fire roads. I was just clippin along like a champ. The abs off the rear and L1 traction control was amazing. Never had a bike with that stuff before and it made me feel very confident in the bike. The suspension is awesome as well- i went over some bumps that i was sure would screw me up and i barely felt them.
Anyways, The only thing i damaged was the stock knuckle guard broke its mounting point. I looked on the parts fiches i found online but cant come up with a part number. I will probably end up just getting some aftermarket ones but i am curious how much the mounts are. Does anyone have any idea how to find the part number? Its the piece that goes between the barkbuster and the handlebar on the inboard side.
Thanks in advance!
