    Outer Cush Drive Assembly

    I knew when I first starting reading this that the bike had recently been in a shop and that you weren't the mechanic. Upon further reading- confirmed. Based on what @TURBO200R4 said, I'll bet they did the first round of tightening and got sidetracked. Then, over time the nuts continued...

    Final drive maintenance..

    I had some great moly paste from Beamer Boneyard I used when I had a R1200RT, but not sure if they still carry it. There's post after post about the content of this or that product and how formulas have changed (always lowering moly content), so I decided to make my own. Now I use moly grease...

    I've not done that, but it'd probably be a good idea on a less regular basis. If you do, let us know how it goes....

    A look at the 2.5 Innards - DIY 20K mile service, including valve clearance check and shim replacement

    I must have a very small leak in my clutch system, so I bleed the MC fairly often to restore full clutch function and go ahead and replace most of the fluid in the reservoir while I'm at it. At some point I'll locate and fix that leak. Signs of this are the bike having a little more trouble...

    A look at the 2.5 Innards - DIY 20K mile service, including valve clearance check and shim replacement

    A thread on just a clutch bleed would be what I have in my link and just skipping all the other things I would definitely do while you're already there. The bleed procedure is outlined in the service manual. It's just like bleeding a brake, so I didn't go into it and if you're comfortable going...

    Why are people selling their Rockets?

    I'm sure someone else has already said, but I think the Rockets go up for sale because some people like the idea of this kind of powerful bike, but once they get on it they find that they're scared to death of it. I sold my first Rocket Classic to a guy (upgraded to a Roadster) and he turned...

    Aftermarket Brake Levers - Experiences?

    AVDB you mentioned. Easy to install, fully adjustable. I went down and the clutch lever folded up instead of breaking, as designed. Can't imagine anything could be any better https://www.r3owners.net/threads/custom-replacement-clutch-brake-levers-for-2-5.49532/

    Center stand for GT models from XRay

    It was completely flat. I'd say it's even more stable in that situation than when inflated, as it's leaned over a bit more and the tire "molds" to the ground. No worries here I assure you. I don't think it would make any difference which surface, but it was in a gravel driveway. In fact, you can...

    I upgraded my dash cam to one with better video quality and night vision. Nice to have in certain situations like this a while back...

    Center stand for GT models from XRay

    I recently had a rear flat on my 3R. It did fine on the side stand while I fixed the tire in place. I plugged it and then filled it with enough air (using a portable pump) to get to a nearby service station to fill it up the rest of the way. Once home I redid the plug with an internal patch...
