    Shopping for Seats

    My 2014 ES that I purchased new has just turned 73000 miles…..and I turned 75 three months ago. I too, can’t do 900 miles any longer but still ride regularly. 500-600 miles is a long day now.

    Rear wheel bearing

    Usually good practice to change the oil seal. The circlip is probably robust enough to reuse unless it gets damaged on removal.

    Sena battery charging adapter

    Thanks for the replies but I need to charge the battery separately from the Sena. The battery kit includes an adapter to do this. It is female mini bi-pin on one end and female mini USB on the other. Sena does not offer this adapter separately.

    Sena battery charging adapter
