    2.5 using oil

    I'm riding 500mi out to Vegas this weekend and am leaving the gear position sensor alone for now to see how it holds up over distance/time. When I get back I'll make a decision about removing the bolts one at a time and pushing moore goop in the holes. I understand what you said about the sensor...

    2.5 using oil

    The holes go in further than I can see though there was oil in them. Could be that if there is a hole at the bottom of one or both from the manufacturing process.

    2.5 using oil

    I believe I may have found the cause which in a nutshell is the oil making it's way through the gear position indicator bolt holes. I had previously replaced both o-rings, replaced them again with RTV goop around the flanges and it still oozed when riding. Then recently I removed the sensor...

    Vandemon websites?

    Oh yeah, it's great. I already flashed the Penner tune so it rides like it should and now it sounds like it should. https://www.r3owners.net/threads/another-exhaust-thread-vandemon-headers-with-installation-pictures.54864/

    Oh you'll get to take the whole front end apart for the 20k to check the clutch! 🤣

    New exhaust options

    All I can say I love the sound and look of my Vandemon kit and so does everyone else who appreciates internal combustion engines.

    METZELER Cruisetec - Never Again!

    I've been told by an independent mechanic that tires last longer at higher pressures but that may be just his opinion .

    Question about Noise while releasing clutch / Clutch Jitter / judder / Grinding noise

    I replaced the clutch at 14177mi and now with 14966mi and almost 800mi later all is well and the noise has not returned. It originally started at around 600 and again at around 600 both times after the dealer messed with it so I think I'm good to go now.

    X-Country Tires

    Well at the end of the day I decided to go with another Exedra Max on the rear for my adventure and have one on the way to be installed just before departure. Another Dunlop 4 Elite for the front which seems to do well and the 2 will hopefull make the round trip. Am getting the tires now before...

    Din plug tip

    Man this is so timely because those sockets are just a bad design. I just fixed my left side outlet (again) because if one does not insert that plug perfectly lined up it pushes the 2 tabs together. Been having trouble with my heated gear so I just pulled out that socket again but connection is...

    X-Country Tires

    I'm running the Dunlop Elite 4 in the front and Exedra Max on the rear right now. The Exedra is only good for about 3000mi and I don't know yet about the Dunlop but another one of those might do the trip. I'm trying to stay away from Metzeler and don't care about same brand/type on both wheels.
