I don't know how much I'd worry about that. Maybe shoot SBU a pic and see what they say.

SBU or @MOTION SBK ?

I bolted it to a sheet of plywood and just layer the plywood on the floor of the trailer bike didn’t budge from ny to Florida

Aaron, a thought occurred to me - did you secure the plywood to the trailer floor?

Whomever you got it from. After reading your post I think I got the names flipped. You got it from Motion SBK right?

 

[Brooklynv4]

Yes from motion sbk

Negative all I did was wrap a ratchet strap on both sides of the plywood to keep it from sliding. The weight of the bike held it firm all the way to Florida

 

[Brooklynv4]

From ny

had to find the pic

Is that a U-Haul box trailer? I don't think they have anything with that much height near me.

 

[Brooklynv4]

It was a 5x8 Trailer. The second time I used a 6x12 cause it was all they had. I liked the 6x12 better due to swing open doors and not a pull up

I love this picture,
It remind me of when I just pick up my bike where I took similar picture, however your picture is much better than mine because:
a. It's taken when there is just a right amount of sunlight on the background to show the sky
b. The light on your bike is on showing the bike is ALIVE like a living breathing machine
c. Showing urban landscape, feels like it is at home in its natural daily environment
d. On the left corner, there is The American Flag like the American Might is watching and protecting it plus a feel that The American Dream is Alive and Well

Just watching this picture again make me feel like I was there with you picking up your bike, and also feel the excitement, I guess a picture really can speak a thousand words

Nice words H

Before you seal everything up (unless I'm too late) try to set the hose clamps so they are vaguely accessible from the side once everything is reassembled. Will make fixing any potential leaks significantly easier. I did it just in case and turns out one wasn't quite tight enough, but my foresight allowed me to tighten it without disassembling anything thankfully.

that is a great tip

 

[PanigalePilot]

Pulled the cups out of the caliper and the seals are melted. The metal just looks to be cooked I’m going to try and order seals and rebuild the caliper

I think your rear brake was dragging
With the power of the v4
It would be hard to notice
Perhaps an adjustment issue at pedal from fitting rearsets
Just a thought

Honestly it’s the best way pitbull restraint. No I didn’t have a chock. Just used a one inch sheet of plywood put the plate on and a 2x4 behind the screws of the plate on the bottom side so the screws won’t scrape on the floor. Takes 5 minutes to load the bike

pit bull trailer restraint is what I use
You can do it by yourself
Great products

front wheel headstand is great too

Rear brake was definitely dragging. I have to find a good adjustment for the rear pedal. Any suggestions would be welcome lol

Now I have a problem bleeding my clutch. El went to replace the fluid and I have no pressure I give up. I used a vacuum pump and it’s not pulling the fluid through. I then tried to do it manually the fluid isn’t even leaving the reservoir

 

[Brooklynv4]

Bought a pneumatic bleeder to get fluid in the system and I’ve had no luck
