Last night,
an aquaintence of mine from the local StarBucks sat on my scooter.
I figured it would be a good time to eyeball the back tire while someone put some normal weight on it.
Just to see if it was a bit low and buldging out at all.
I cant see what my back end looks like when I am sitting on it.
So,
I decided it looked okay and ask the guy to go ahead and put the bike on the center stand for me.
Big Mistake.
I made the assumption, he knew what he was doing.
Instead,
What he did was squeeze the back break caliper, while proceeding to step full weight on the center stand to engage it.
Naturally,
If the break is being locked up,
The center stand is going to put the pressure on the break when its being pushed to the ground, stoping it from rolling back to engage itself.
I think he may have bent the disc, tweaked the the pads, or maybe a little bit of both.
Moral of the story.
Dont let that dude near my bike ever again.
