    Final-Drive Leaking, Seal Replacement

    At the end of last season, during my last ride in the fall, I had noticed a bit of gear-oil had dripped onto the rear wheel. You could see the telltale streaking on the tire from it spinning. I had simply parked the bike in the Garage. I already had the output-seal on the shelf, so I figured I...

    Windscreen OEM Well-Nuts Replacement. 2014 Model

    Over time the OEM rubber "Well-Nuts" dry out, and will possibly fail. I live in a dry climate, and also ride a lot of rugged roads and trails.
