I just finished changing the final gear oil and I notice in my owners manual that there's no mention of using crush washers for the drain bolt or the...

I use torque wrenches to make sure I don't overtorque something.
Replacing the front caliper on my 2009 and one bolt broke. Someone (maybe me ;) ) overtorqued the bolt. Local shop didn't have the OEM bolt in stock...

Wasn't that an ABS malfunction?
Hollow bolt = easier to drill out & extract when some wrench jockey over-torques it...
I bought a nifty voltmeter that plugs into the glove box a while back. Being lazy, today I left the glove box open, and noticed the meter flash red...

There's a voltmeter on my radar detector. The FJR's stator is strong. Even with high beams, heated grips on WFO, and the heated jacket liner, I still...
Looked for this issue with V Strom hand guards, but couldn't find an answer. I am thinking about putting on the N line dash, but am concerned about...

I took Bill's method a bit further, stripped 4 off, twisted it a bit and used a zip tie to hold it. That let me steer the bike with my feet so I had...

Pitting or chrome missing... depends on how big I suppose, ScotchBrite them first, but if you can feel them sticking up (enough to cut a seal), then...
Short of MSR fuel bottles, what is the best way to carry extra fuel without giving up the rear seat and topcase? I use a topcase all the time. But as...

Well, that's how it should be done... and can be as a one-man show on a Gen3 that has enough spring pressure to keep the cartridge from spinning...

Tightened steering again old school by hand. Put on some...

My All Balls tapered head bearing tq is 17 lbs. I started at 25 lbs and it felt like a low tire the way it wandered around (to tight) then backed off...
