    Changing the screen?

    I've just bought a Hyperstrada abs the previous owner put on a bigger touring screen. It's great but it is pretty big. I'm thinking about finding a screen from the hypermotard, and changing it over. I can change back if I'm doing any touring. Can anyone tell me what's involved in changing the...

    Changing to 520 chain and sprockets

    I would like to change the front and rear sprockets to use a 520 chain. I wonder if there is a 520 rear sprocket that is bolt on, using my Ducati sprocket carrier I know I can buy complete sets of rear sprockets and carriers, but I am looking for just a rear sprocket that will fit right on Thanks

    Trouble changing spark plug

    I ran into some trouble today when pulling the coil pack off the spark plug underneath the gas tank. The plastic part that goes down into the engine came off fine but the rubber housing remained stuck to the spark plug, I assume. I tried pulling it out off the spark plug with needle nose pliers...

    changing tires on MS

    At 4500 miles I have about 1 more ride on my tires. My local Yam dealer had 40% off tires so I picked up a set of Pilot 4s for $319 and they mount them for free off the bike. Not bad. It looks pretty straight forward to remove the wheels. Does the exhaust need to be removed, what size nuts...

    Speedometer is off big time after changing front sprocket to 14T

    Just had the 14T front sprocket installed today and noticed that the speedometer is VERY off. Up to 50mph, according to my GPS, it's only about 2mph off, which is normal. But while cruising at 65mph, my GPS said I was doing 60mph... that's 5mph off and pretty huge! I haven't gone passed 65mph...
