Head stay bracket: use it or lose it?

Post by bultaco4ever »

I've been given some advice to NOT use the head stay bracket on my 'E' Series. It comes from a reliable source. Any pro's or con's to that idea?

Head stay bracket: use it or lose it?

Post by sarrant »

I am wondering what the source/reasoning for this advice was...

There was an issue on the 1st gen perimeter framed kx's (90-94?) where frame cracking/stress near the upper shock mount lead to head issues, but I've never heard this being any worry on E-series (or any) kdxs.

Maybe this advice has something to do with that...
