thanks for the replies... did it once this morning too. I changed the oil last october and she sat in the garage until march. I have done this before, but maybe this is bad practice to let the oil sit. thoughts?

so this morning took off to work and 2 or 3 times my 04 didnt want to upshift. after a few tries it finally did and them came out of it without happening again. does the fluid need to be warm to operate correctly? I am in maine and it was about 35 degrees so I am wondering if it just needed to...

thanks for all the input guys.... the area is dry today so I guess it was from settling and made it's way down there.

so my 04 with just over 30k has been on the center stand for 1 week and today I notice a few drops of oil from under the oil filter area... took a feel under the engine bout 3 or 4 inches under the bike past the oil filter and the metal (for a lack of better words) or base of the engine had a...

anyone??

I am about to install my kouba links and wanted to educate myself on the lowering of the tree's as well. do most of you lower the front as well? If so is 1/2 a good place to start? Also is there an special advice on lowering the front? thanks!

sent payment yesterday... cant wait to get the product.

thanks for the replies!

nice set up... I just dont want to crush the pipes. my atv jack has long rectangular pads so it may be ok, but dont want to risk it. I read that you will need to jack it up a bit without the center stand because one of the bolts is in the way of the stand.

wondering how or what is the best way to lift my bike to install kouba links. I have an atv/bike lift, but thought it would put too much pressure on the exhaust. thoughts?

thanks for the replies I am all set.

looking to order some kouba links for my fjr and saw the disclaimer on the order form about not including seals and bearings.... are these already on my bike and can just swap them or do I have to order them seperate? thanks!
