P.M. STUNNA he insisted I use a special adhesive to fasten the gasket sikoflex (I think)



"Hind sight is 20/20 yea there is a kill switch just right there but in that split second all I wanted was the brakes. The crash was mine and I own it, I rode the RC all the way to the ground."

Well when I bumped my kill switch I rode mine to the ground too
these mechanical hiccups happen so damn fast reaction is NIL

At least we're okay

did i hear you say somewhere on here that you needed a stock set of cans? or one side? I'm in dfw (just south of ft worth actually), i think you are too?

I'll sell you whichever can you need for $60, but you gotta take the other one too I'm tired of looking at them for the last two years.

Glad you're okay. It is funny how easy it is to momentarily forget the kill switch when you're experiencing stuck throttle. One time I was testing my R6 on a rear stand and it partially slipped off with the throttle stuck open. I was on the clutch and brake trying to keep the bike from launching into the back of the garage but my brother was there and had the quick sense to hit the kill switch.

I always tell myself and others to automatically think 'kill switch' when on a track. Particularly after reading about a rider that passed away atending a trackday at Thunderhill Cali a year so so back . It was reported from other riders that his Ducati had a stuck throttle down the straight and he was fiddling with it until he hit T1 wide open. He kept control of his bike a long way up the embarkment but lost near the top.
