Re: Rear pads gone, completely…down to metal…

Re: Front end shake/vibration at over 70mph

Try loosening the axel clamps and quick release then bounce the front end with the front brake on, then tighten up again.

Re: Loud OEM exhaust on '22 RT

Normally a loud OEM exhaust is due to a stuck exhaust butterfly valve.
