Guys (and gals), I found what appears to be some kind of an oily substance next to the sidecase on my bike (2005). I haven't ridden it for about two weeks, but there was a puddle of something there before, but I couldn't tell what it was. I put some newspaper down and let it sit for about...

Hey, everybody, Has anyone tried the SW-Motech risers for an '05? They look interesting... Jim Yes, I'm still on the perpetual hunt for perfection (for me, anyway).

Guys, I could use some help. This is really beginning to drive me crazy. I have a Dell Inspiron 9300 with a Pentium M chip at 2GHz, with one gig of memory and a GeForce Go 6800 video card. Anyway, my Outlook started acting up and will NOT send or reply to any of my Inbox replies, even if I...

I can't seem to get the black panel on under the tank on the left side. Is there a trick to this? All the hex bolt does is turn and turn and turn and turn and...well, you get the idea. I can't get it to thread. I have made dang sure that everything is lined up; I start slow, and try to...

Why do I need to use dielectric grease or Vaseline on the terminals inside the Powerlet socket? Do I really need to do this, or are these instructions just for the do-it-yourself Powerlet socket makers? Will current still run through the socket if I do this? TIA... Jim

Anyone got pics of their Powerlet routing for an '05 rearset? The instruction photo's are too small for me to figure ]out what's going on. TIA for any help... (I'm NOT a wrench, but I'm not afraid to tackle thngs, either...so if you have pics, it'd be most appreciated! Regards, Jim

(I posted this under Parts and Accessories but only got one response, so I thought I'd try here.) The instructions are confusing... to me anyway. To whit: Grab the socket end of the harness and start routing the harness by looping the wires down through the gap in the frame next to the...

Well, they are to me anyway. To whit: Grab the socket end of the harness and start routing the harness by looping the wires down through the gap in the frame next to the steering head. What does looping the wires mean? Lift up the rubber cover [E] on the engine side of the frame to receive...

Guys, My bike's been sittin' for quite some time (no, I'm not gonna say HOW long), but I'm kinda concerned about startin' this puppy when it's been so cold. It's been in the 20's and 30's here in NorCal, but I have the bike on a Battery Tender and have recently ordered a Powerlet rearset kit...

Hope someone can help... I go out to my bike to start it up. Wheel it out of the garage, start it up, and start putting my gear on. I get everything on, I've got two bars on the temp gauge, so I figure I'm good to go. I raise the sidestand, give the throttle a blip, and it sounds like...

Okay, guys, here's a challenge for ya... My sub-woofer quit working for no apparent reason. Turned on the tv to watch a movie last week, sub came on kind of loud (but not THAT loud) and now refuses to work at all. I just tried replacing the cable (one can only hope) that didn't do any good...

and the reason{s} you do or don't Currently have set of D&Ds...Quality product but just a little too short for me. I find myself still leaniing forward enough to give me a pain in my back between my shoulders. Always searching for the best ergos (for me). 6'2";205;34/35" sleeve; 32"...

Do you guys like these risers or not? Do they take away the "sport" aspect of the bike? Are your hands/wrists comfortable? Are/were they too far up/too far back (towards you)? PLEASE advise...money being spent...

...get the fasteners to fasten? The wiring for the fuse box (or whatever) is too thick, so I can't get "A" to remain flat enough against the side to get the fasteners to work. Any ideas? Jim

Well, I have decided that I'm in over my head! I have looked at images, I have pulled up and out on the nose, I have double-checked inside the nose cowling for anything that might even possibly be related to taking the nose cowl off, but I can't for the life of me find it. Unless someone...

Okay, I don't know what's goin' on here. This is startin' to git EAR-uh-tate-in. I got the screws/fasteners undone/removed, but now I can't get anything past the nose. SOMEwhere in there is a screw or two that need to come out but I can't find them. On top of that, I can't find my dang 3/8"...

Hey, guys, I can use a little help here. I'm trying to replace the turn signal indicator light bulbs in the dash, but I'm having a heck of a time getting the front cowling off. I have taken off all the 4mm hex bolts related to the upper fairing pieces, all the screws and fasteners from...

Anyone replaced one of thesse bad boys yet? I just noticed that the bulb doesn't light on my indicator, but the turn signal works, as does everything else: L/R turn signals, horn, high-low beam headlights, windshield retract, hazard lights, everything. (The bulb under the green plastic...

Hello, again... Well, now I actually HAVE to fix something that quit working; to wit: My right turn signal indicator doesn't work anymore!!!! Yikes! I have NO desire to pull my front cowling off to (probably) re-seat the bulb, but I don't know what else it could be. Hazard lights work...
