My parents live in Kerrville so I can attest to the quantity of great riding in the area. One thing to watch for, LEO's are more than few and far between as the riding traffic grows from word of mouth. The 330's loop is great riding but can be dangerous due to blind corners, small boulders falling f...

Well, I'm on an '02 GS Adventure with my previous bike being an SV650 standard but I have a family member with an R and have ridden that numerous times.

For what ever reason, I guess the speedo gear isn't making contact with the toothed ring on the wheel :?:...

My question is - How does the plastic speedo gear(two notches) match up with the two notches on the metal ring in the hub? I've obviously got it wrong. Now, I do for sure have the speedo housing recess lined up with the notch in the fork correctly upon installing the front axle so that's not it. FYI...

BTW, That's me on the above posting. I swore I logged in before replying the first time. Oh well...
