Need a little help. I tried a search but still am confused. I pulled my wheels for new tires. The rear bearings feel good. Front wheel bearings feel tight and inner races will not turn independently. I need to stick a finger tightly in each inner race to get them to turn and it feels like both...

I am requesting a favor. I am prepping for a long ride and was going over my frame looking for issues. I noticed something I never have before, when checking welds. The top shock mount is a bracket with ears that the top bolt goes through. The left ear (clutch side) is welded on the inner and...

Good afternoon, I have been lurking for a year now checking out the pros and cons of Yamaha Tenere ownership. Last fall I considered a new bike, but due to work issues waited until this spring. I am a long time Vstrom 1000 owner/rider. My trusty 2007 strom sits in a puddle of it's own tears...
