    WTB AltRider Lower and Upper Crash Bars

    Wanting to trade up from Mastech bars. If you don't need the full protection but good protection for simple drops let me know. I would throw in a chunk of change with the trade. The Mastech have been used and are effective. I would sand and repaint.

    Oil Change Complication

    Went to change the oil and filter today and the filter fought the whole way off. I remember when I installed it, it did not want to torque properly (turning too easily). I stopped when it was well snug but less than spec torque. It looks like the cheap FRAM filter started to strip then messed...

    Alpinestars Tech7 Boots

    Sale price about $100 off plus I had $40 in RMATVMC cash back. I was ready for some better protection and they look great. Good fit but alot stiffer than the old Forma lows. (Which is good!) Sent from my SM-S918U using Tapatalk

    Clutch Master Kit Install

    I have a rebuild kit and new diaphram on order. Does the master cylinder need to be removed from the handlebar to install the rebuilt kit? That's what is called out in the manual, but it wouldn't be the only place unneeded steps are detailed. I see the manual calls for the rebuild every two...

    What does a 6 gal fill look like?

    Recently pushed almost to the point of running out, but got to the station and filled with 5.3 gallons. Fueling this bike full requires patience as the fuel keeps "settling". Have you ever run out and added a full 6 gallons? How far up on the baffle does the fuel go when it's on the centerstand...

    Creaky Clutch Pull

    Took out the lever pivot bolt, cleaned and lubed it good. Slightly better, but creaks persist. Anyone else with a creaky pull? Fixes?? I'm guessing it might be the Master Cylinder piston seals, or the clutch switch. The good news it operates fine and you don't notice it when riding. It's...

    What spare fuses do you carry?

    I always carried an assortment in my tool kit. I just installed a new 5.5mm plug in the dash and found out I've been carrying minis instead of the larger blades I needed. Replaced with the right ones for the aux wiring installed. What OEM amp sizes do you carry with? Sent from my SM-S918U using...

    Black Hills BDR-X

    I'm looking for any riders in the area to do some offroad portions on Friday 8/4/23. I've done a couple shorter loops solo in the last couple days and plan to ride more of it Friday while my son heads to Sturgis. I prefer to ride with someone vs solo. Sent from my SM-S918U using Tapatalk

    Final Drive Front Seal and O-ring Replacement

    First - thanks to @eemsreno for special tools, shop, and assistance in doing this job. If your whole rear wheel looks like this from oil weeping from the bottom of the swing arm it is most likely a bad seal and/or O-ring in the front of the final drive. It was a slow leak. I needed to add a...

    What's up with Front DunlopTrailMax Missions?

    The few places that have our size are charging a premium price. The rear is much more available with pricing similar to Mitas E-07+ Dakars. Thought I would try them but I guess I will stick with my old favorites. Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk

    Left Peg feeler

    So a year ago I lost my left foot peg against a rock. Didn't recover it and when I ordered a new one I didn't order the feeler peg. On a recent ride I did a peg drag and figure I should add the feeler back. I have a bolt the right size but I'm not sure what the length should be set at. Can...

    2022 Miles, Best and Worst

    Given the storm sweeping the country, most of us will be done riding for the year. (If not wait on your reply for another week.) Three questions: 1. How many miles (or Kms) did you log for the year? 2. What was your best ride? 3. What was your worst? (Or most challenging, since there are no...

    Seal Saver Advisory

    I've carried one of the Blue Seal Savers in the top of my tank bag for a long time. Went to use it a couple days ago and the thing cracked and broke in pieces while inserting it in the seal. Fortunately no pieces ended up past the seal, as that would have been a pain to clean out. I suspect it...
