Hi guys,

I am writing from Rajkot. xBhp Ahmedabad was having its mega G2G today and I had planned to attend it.

I started at 0700h from home. It was cool and I made it to Darshan dhaba by 0800h when I heard a slight thud from underneath the bike and towards the left side. I stopped immediately and checked the bike thoroughly but nothing was amiss. Thinking that it must have been some small stone hitting the cowl, I started off again.

Now, I heard the chain slapping the swing arm, something which was totally new in my experience with the CBR. Again, I stopped immediately and checked the chain. To my horror, I found that the rubber friction plate had torn off and was stuck between the damper and the swing arm's right arm. I took it off and found that the swing arm itself had been abraded by the chain. That was the end of my trip to Ahmedabad for the G2G.

Nursed the bike back to Rajkot and inspected it really properly. There was a fair amount of wear on two sections of the swing arm, though not so bad as to warrant a complete replacement.

The bike had just returned from a service and I am suspecting that the mechanic must have fingered this part while adjusting the chain (he had already reset the position of the gear lever without being asked to do so).

This is an odd problem, I wonder if any of us in the Ahmedabad chapter have had it.

Here are the pics:



The small lip ahead of the serrated portion is the actual plate surface, the serration has been caused by the chain abrading the rubber. Very, very strange..

Yeah Maneeshji, this is a very strange issue, never seen something like this happen before, but I'm happy you and your bike are safe. G2G's will keep happening and chances to meet up will surely come again.

Overall a great G2G almost 40 Bikes and over 40 Bikers, really enjoyed every bit of it. The ride after the G2G was very short but the decipline with which each biker rode was awesome, showed the maturity of the bikers.

Turn out was great and got a meet quite a few new guys around, hope we can arrange a few more of these Mega G2G in Gujarat.

Great to hear that the G2G was a smash success. Wish I had been a part of it...

The Ahd CBR owners Please check your bike's friction plate for any such abnormal wearing. As I have written in the owner's thread, if this plate comes off like it did in my case, the chain will scrape the swing arm every time the bike is ridden resulting in serious damage to the chain AND the swing arm.
