Front wheel lock-up

[motoplast]

Since my last post on this subject, I have been for a ride up to Coffs & back, so I have had a fair bit of time inside my helmet where I think about different things without being hassled. Champs, ask ur mate has he fitted a new/ aftermarket front brake lever prior to his accident. I have witnessed/ repaired broken bikes caused by the wrong brake lever being fitted. An aftermarket or different brand (ie: Kawasaki >Suzuki) brake lever may look identical or close enough to the original and may work fine until the Brakes have been applied several times and the brake fluid has got hot & swelled up. The incorrect Lever won't have enough free play and will cause the brakes to drag, creating more heat and compounding the problem with catastrophic results!. Going on the info' supplied, this is a very logical explanation. Depending on his speed at the time would relate to how much warning he would have felt at the pointy end prior to it going pear shaped.
