[QUOTE="Ignacio, post: 1158844, member: 434"] And my first (or probably many) significant learning experience with my new bike. It seems my tried and true practice of changing rear tires (I ran over a nail at 500 miles and the hole was so big I couldn't get a plug to hold) is a bit deficient with this particular model and when you reassemble it all, and spin the wheel in first gear....it wants to make bad metal on metal noises. About 20 minutes of head scratching and disassembly later I realize '08 and later with the newer ABS ring have a special spacer that wants to fall out on your tire changer....and the ABS housing requires it to be in place to work. Oh well, I also scuffed through the black powdercoat of the rim too. The bike is breaking in nicely...... :) [/QUOTE]
