Lobo if you know more about lube thru starter hole please do tell.I try to avoid disassembly in all cost,at least for now.You would give me beam of light of hope. thanks Mark

Hi,everybody I have posted previously post about noise what my bike developed just after 12000 mi.So this sqeaking noise coming from clutch.After talking with cycle rob on the phone sat. we think that is probably lack of lube on splines which would ultimately lead to splines failure.Repair cost in t...

Hi,as Cycle Rob put it I check for everything and seems to be option #3 clutch splines.So far bike show no sign of stress but I expect to happen any day now.CLUTCH SPLINES FAILURE !!!!!!! To be honest I don't know what to do next.Bike is still new to me,great shape otherwise and now this.Does anyone...
