Message Somtimes from HARD launching the Drive axles slip beyond its "C" clip.

I had this happen to my Z before, I was always the RIGHT SIDE for some reason. You can tell because the ABS gear/sprocket is further away from the pumpkin than the other side. A little bit of fluid is usually leaking too.

I Talked to Larry@ united auto sales and he said it causes Z's to shear off at the drive axle because it isn't seated all the way.

EASY fix though, Just use both hands (as if you were doing tricep extentions) and push the rear drive axle back into the pumpkin, use a hard force. It should pop the "C" clip back into the rear end.

I am not saying this is why it broke, But it would really be somthing to look into. speciallly when using slicks.

NO, This picture is not photoshopped. It took many times to take this picture. Setting up the timer, shutter speed etc, then jumping on my bike and getting the tire to spin.
