    To PR3 or to PR2 That is the question

    I am running PR2's. Just ordered both sets last week. Only reason is that I have not had a chance to fully test the PR3s and I know exactly what to expect from a set of PR2s. I will be swapping out the front and rear at the first checklpoint. I have spare wheels so swapping out the front...

    Fred, Thanks for posting the original instructions. I was reluctant in the past to update my 550 based on the memory limitations. I went ahead and updated the maps using your directions. Worked perfectly!

    Rear shock linkage maintenance

    I do not have a shock sock. Is it something that I should get/install? If so, any recommendations on what/where I should purchase? I purchased the Penske 8983 with remote reservoir from GPS Suspension 2 years ago but I believe they are no longer in business... I noticed that Traxxion...

    Rear shock linkage maintenance

    Thanks Fred, I was trying to be clever and save the tube guides on the left side so I could not operate on the nut end as you correctly point out you should do. Combined with the siezed bolt, it was a no-win situation. That baby was going to get mangled. Should have have just cut the tube...

    Finally tackled this job today. The servicing was way overdue as this was the first time in 50,000 miles. Thanks to this thread, I had a good idea of what to expect. I was able to "spring" the exhaust pipes as previously posted to get the centre stand bolts out without cutting them...

    oil leak

    +1. I had the same problem a few years back. The force is strong with this magnet. Hard pull you must..... but pull not too hard or on your butt fall down you will.

    '13 MN1K

    I really wanted to do this rally this year as it will be the first year Peter and Paula Behm will be running it (both amazing people). Team Strange rallies are a blast and I highly recommend them. Unfortunately, the timing this year will not work for me as the IBR starts the following week and...
