I fitted new replacements and the front one went eighteen months later, if that helps.

In a 97 bike, though.
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.

I changed one which only lasted about 8000 miles before it needed changing again.
I've only heard stories of ones lasting less. You know a mate of mine had a friend sort of thing. Nothing first hand.

I think its a trivial pursuit. Buy manual ones and get peace of mind. Those of us who have them also think the bikes go better, and given that Sirch (Chris) has done a lot of research and found that one actually backs off a bit, this may not just be an imaginary benefit.

I have checked mine after a year and they needed no adjustment and I don't worry about them giving out now. The classic "breaking technique" would be getting up to high revs in a low gear then shutting the throttle. Don't have to worry about that now and with open cans it sounds luvvvvvverly (especially down the Llanberis Pass) :twisted:
