Platinum Boarder Posts: 1750 Re:Known Issues Newbies Should Check 3 Years, 7 Months ago   Damn and blast. Oh, well. It was cheap, live and learn. I did ask them if there was a good tire for gravel, they laughed at me.   Logged     Is this not a reasonable place to park?   The administrator has disabled public write access. #803307 Silkentek (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 1016 Re:Known Issues Newbies Should Check 3 Years, 7 Months ago   Great Thread =) Though my Roadie is new to me, it feels like I have owned it forever.

Like it says at the top of this page...you CAN do it. Start with simple things like fluid changes and work your way up. Lots of advice for free on this forum.   Logged     Last Edit: 2014/07/29 23:40 By Shores.   The west is the best - Jim Morrison Photo by GreenMachine   The administrator has disabled public write access. #803437 sgfrye (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 1122 Re:Known Issues Newbies Should Check 3 Years, 7 Months ago   Midnight* Jockey wrote: jd750ace wrote: Check your tire pressure (40 rear 38 front) and CHECK THE TIRE WEAR. If the tire is over 7 years old, it's junk. If it's AT the wear bars, it's junk. If there are anycracks in the sidewall, it's junk. If it's a Dunlop 404 it's junk. If it's an original fitment ANYTHING it's junk. Hey JD, have you always run your tires at those pressures? I know my Manual says 36 front, 36 rear unless two up, then 40. I'm tired of changing the tire pressure every Saturday morning for the weekend rides with the wife, then back to 36 on Sunday night for a week of commuting. The short straight valve stems on my tubes were a real PITA to air up and air down, so when I put new tires on yesterday, I put new tubes with 90* stems on them........ nice! Do you get even wear patterns on your tread with pressures like that? ive run 40 psi rear and 38 psi front 1 up or 2 up for 12k miles and on 2nd set of tire with plenty tread left on michelin commander IIs. before i did the 36 psi, and tires wore down quicker for sure.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #834972 billieg (User) Gold Boarder Posts: 718 Re:Known Issues Newbies Should Check 3 Years, 3 Months ago   A helpful hint I found out about today: The Right side cover has a screw in it to hold it on. Take off the Left side cover and use a flashlight to see the screw. Good luck getting it back in,...   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #864859 Curt (Moderator) Never to old to ride!
