Puig hugger failure
« on: October 07, 2019, 09:32:11 pm »
Hi all

You may have seen this post on the Facebook site but I'm keen for as many people to know about this serious issue.

Just in case any of you are using a Puig hugger on your K1300s, please check the bracket that is securing it to the hub.  Mine fatigued and cracked, leaving the hugger touching the tyre and getting pulled between the swingarm and the tyre. Fortunately I managed to stop before it fully detached and jammed the rear wheel which could have had fatal consequences.  Unfortunately Puig are not being helpful, telling me I need to return to the vendor with my receipt (long gone) and refusing to respond directly despite giving them lots of opportunity.

Has anyone else had this issue? There seemed to several who have had the same problem with a similarly poor response from Puig.

You may have missed this step:

- Make the Google Drive image shareable with anyone

Yes!
They're massive, but yes.

Gold star for perseverance.
