• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

It is a 13 lb cap and it fitted fine on the bottle. Do you guys think that it will do ok or do I need the...

    Oil leak ?

    I went through the same exact deal. I get small oil drips seems like from the bottom of the bike in the center of engine. The dealer could not find any leaks. It's a 2008 SE5 with 9500 miles on it. I decided not to let the dealer take it apart and possibly cause more problems. I will just ignore...

    Trouble with my RS not downshifting

    Happened to me too when I first started riding SE 3 years ago. It's easy to not completly roll off the throttle when coming to a stop. Make sure that you are off the throttle and try not to make abrupt stops, sometimes downshift does not keep up with the rate of slow down. Try that, if the...

    Confused about oil level

    You have to assemble it yourself, but if I could do it anybody can. If you do the search for Lamonsters oil catch can on this board you can find his step by step instructions and the parts you need

    Confused about oil level

    Yes, the dip stick is screwed in all the way and I check the oil level after a good ride. If I add the oil, it will end up in the catch can , If I don't will it ruin the engine?

    Engine Overheating and how to manage this weird key!

    I have the same temperature readings and I believe that it's normal. 5 bars is not all that "HOT". Lamonster took tha actual temp readings and 5 bars is far from over heating. I do't think it should go over 6 bars. Check and see if your fan kicks in at 5 bars. You can see it on the right side...
