So what are you using now?
btw, is your avatar a picture of you digging a hole for it and burying it deep in the forest so you don't have to look at it again?

In all fairness, he fixed it for free.
However, my fork IMMEDIATELY broke.
My opinion is that the geniuses "fixed" it by changing the tensile strength of the forks.
Yes, this does mean TWO back-to-back clutch jobs, 11 miles apart.
Carlito can tell you what that was like, I am too disgusted with them.

Someone please just post a description of what the problem was and which parts/build dates it affects. Is it something I can measure/inspect on my PP before installation or do I have to call up KEP about it myself?

i just talked to montee at KEP because i ordered a stage2 pp from them. he confirmed he's heard of some stock FORK ARMS breaking. i'm wondering how long you guys have been using the stock fork arm, and if they were changed out when you changed the pressure plate/clutch.
anyone?
i've had a stock fork arm break on my first 951 after about 60k miles on the stock clutch. this was when everything was brand-new. so i don't think the stock fork arm is as strong as people would like to believe. i wonder if this part was upgraded/improved. i'll have to check the PET later today.

Clutch forks break with stock clutches as well. It really doesn't take much. When mine broke is felt like is slowly went, rather then a quick snap. Even with a stock clutch, mine broke exactly like the one shown.
