Title: 2008 KX450F/500AF Rear Master Damage!
Post by: kxpegger on June 20, 2013, 10:33:23 AM

Pretty sure it was rock damage! Coming down a steep technical section and no rear brake! Brake line came loose. Had to use the old off-road trick! Keep thumb on kill switch and bike in gear. Use the clutch as a rear brake. Better than nothing!

Old thread, but I hadn't stumbled across it until today. That riding tip for getting by with no rear brake is one I hadn't heard of before--good stuff!
