Roger, happy Dima was able to save the day and get you home! Hope the bike isn't too badly damaged! And I hope Ben picked up the Epsom Salts for you... you'll be happy to have that the next couple of days! :thumbup
 
All right my bike was knocked over in Montclair and it has broken off my left hand clutch lever. I'm begging for help up here or any thoughts on how to ride with a sheared off clutch lever.
 
Completely broken off, or is there an inch or so? If there's still some there, you can use that, just be easy with revving to match speeds.
 
Got it bome! Connie gave me that same great tip, cincinnatus. Only an inch and a half but got it home. But I'll be damned if my left hand is now sore. Thanks!
 
I rode 40+ miles with only an inch of a front brake lever, from the top of Mt. Tamilpias to San Ramon. Everything is possible. :laughing

I'm just glad you made it home! :)

And don't forget to order spare brake/clutch levers to keep under your seat... and probably a spare clutch cable, as well... all inexpensive parts, but will save you hours of aggravation if you have them at the ready!
Or, more likely, since you would have them... you'd never need them... :laughing
 
Instead of under the seat, I used to run a spare clutch cable zip-tied the one that is installed. It makes it REALLY easy to swap out and takes up no extra storage space.

As long as you can find the broken lever after the crash... :)
 
I think you misunderstood me. I still advocate keeping levers under the seat. Just not cables. Last I'll post on it, as this is not the right place for the discussion. Sorry for the spam, folks. My bad.
 
Hey all,
My bike is on 35 just south of kings mountain / Tunitas creek. At the call box mile marker 15 61. I'm getting a ride to Kaiser Permanente to get x-rays etc... Fairly banged up. If somebody could pick up my V-Strom and take it to Catalyst Reaction in San Carlos that would be awesome. I think my ContourRoam is somewhere around the crash site.

My cell is six five zero 867 - 7872
