Dead,

This is very helpfull. Appreciate the info. I've seen the recall posts previously, but just started noticing my rear caliper dragging. I will call them tomorrow & see if my Pit is included.

I've been tyring to research my rear rotor. It's scored pretty good now & I think the grooving might be too deep to resurface. I think it must have been dragging periodically before I bought it. All I can find is a part #, but no manufacturers name.

Anyway, very good info. dude:cheers:

It is just crap like you said, they know they have problems, issues, and a bunch of crappy EHC,s , cam sensors etc. They told me there was no recall on mine either, as I am waiting to replace the EHC with the wire plus AWE......!!!! because it won't start, and unlike the Mc Donalds commercials mine only pushes well on a down hill grade and the kick starter must have been optional.. Awaits the wire plus system from Jake, my scooter collecting dust in the garage,, but that is ok,, I will fix it better. Too hot anyway ,,,
