    just wondering how often this happens on the vt models as the bloke at pages says it happens at least once a week as the fitting kits fall off with road vibration?

    i said that to him but when you think if they sell one fitting kit a week with all the garages they supply. it shocked me how he said it.

    "yeah mate happens all the time we keep the kit in stock it happens that often"

    i was like fantastic make no wonder it got no stars on the euro n cap.

    No starts is slightly worrying to be fair haha. I still dont think it happens all that often, never happened to me *touch wood* and you dont see a thread a week saying my brake pads have fallen out. Its probably the retarded garages they sell them to not fitting properly

    i had this happen on track lol, as i was coming off could hear metal on metal sound, had a look and some how one of the pads had fallen out, no idea how, the little clip was still there :s the metal sound was piston on disc, luckily had only just happened n was no mark on disc or any damage
