Rider needs assistance-Utah on way to RR
Pulling into the hotel in Logan UT last nite heard a grinding sound from the ft. brake. Inside pad on left caliper appears to be shot. Left a message for local Yamaha dealer. They open at 9 (90 min from now). Looking for a backup plan if they dont have parts. 515-360-0784 if you have advice.

Good news! See you next week.
I’d be more than happy to swear under oath that having watched you ride for many, many miles, there is no way in hell you could be speeding through those curves. -0face

He made it! Said it took only 45 minutes for the job and he was in his way.

Adventure Motorsports Twin Falls, ID.
They had the job done in the time it takes me to find my service manual. And they installed all of the caliper bolts (Marty). They had a tech push his lunch hour back to accommodate me, so I bought it for him. Great shop.
