Has anyone else broken the "brake pivot shaft" on their 650R?
It has happened to me about 4 times now and it's starting to get to be a pain in the ass.
Firstly, it usually happens while I am out on a ride, so I have to finish the ride with no back brakes. Secondly it's a mission to get the brken piece of bolt out the frame of my bike, and lastly at about R100 a pop and a normal 10 days or so wait until the part arrives at the dealer it's starting to get tedious.
Anyone else who rides a 650R have this problem?
Any work-arounds?
The part in question that breaks is no 7 in the pic.
