I'll be changing over to a manual CCT when I check valve clearances at 25k miles.

Re: K&N Oil Filter Leak The Purolator PL14612 I purchased yesterday did not fit properly w/o driving the center section deeper with a hammer and a punch. Seems like more and more filters are being manufactured with shallow center section, reducing the number of compatible filters.

What purpose would cast wheels serve, other than appearance or shave a few pounds? Spoked wheels are hands-down much more durable. JMHO.

Re: Loose spokes Mine is pushing 8K miles. I check spokes regularly. No loose spokes found. I own two other bikes with spokes. I ride them hard, and put them away wet. None of those have come loose either. As other's have said on this board - RIDE MORE, WORRY LESS!

Ditto for my ST as well. ::021::

Just installed TP Checker in each tire. So far so good.

Ze zaskar - here is a photo of the fuel pump assembly showing the fuel level sender. It's a simple variable resistance set-up. According to the service manual the resistance with a full tank should be 19-21 ohms. empty tank resistance should be 139-141 ohms. Hope this helps.

Unfortunately all wire-to-wire connectors are listed as #13, kind of a generic thing I guess. You may have to physically trace the wire back to source to find that connector, and I know that can be a PIA. Switch/sensor/etc. connectors can be identified by their shape and position/color code of...

#11 is listed in the manual as "Signaling System Fuse".

Here's the other pic of schematic, and is par for my uploading skills, photos came out in reverse order.

AVGeek. Here's the best I can do: #78 is horn #76 is horn switch Black wire is earth Brown wire is hot Power is distributed from ignition switch passing thru connector #13 at bottom of first photo. Good luck!

Yep. Much heavier and larger than what I expected, but does work well. Not really practical to take on the road, but then again - that's what side stands are for. :lamp:

If you purchase an ST in California, your bike comes with a charcoal canister to catch any fuel or vapor that is vented out. Just another thing to add weight and go wrong IMHO.

Greg, the stand came from http://www.motosport.com/ It's labeled as a "Moose Tire changing Stand. It's listed at $99.95, but I think I got it on sale for $69.95, Sure beats kneeling on the ground, and with the wheel raised higher, makes it much easier to apply your body weight to assist in...

Those hoses are vent lines for the fuel system. Completely normal to have a little fuel/vapor "leak" out as fuel expands in tank. Has nothing to with engine oil. ::021::

Dirt Dad, I think the race you were informed of may be the annual Bicycle Hill Climb race. I can't imagine peddling all the way to the summit, let alone doing it as fast as possible! And I like to ride bicycles!

Thanks for the pics Dallara. I'm curious as to how the dealer got the bike up and out of the crate?

Two days a year they close the road to automobiles and only allow motorcycles, however I don't see anyone doing a Pike's Peak style run due to hundreds of bikes making the run up and down. Sorry Dirt Dad!

Hey Kevhunts - yer showin yer age! O0

Great info Dallara. I purchased the ST and Kaw from the same dealer. I've had rear wheels, bars, seats etc. off both bikes without issues. Hopefully limited to these two incidents.
