Hey, fellas. I have put about 1000 miles on the new bike so far, and I love it. I only have one complaint about the way it fits me. I am very long legged (38 inch inseam). When I am doing slow speed parking lot maneuvers, sometimes the bars go full-lock. That's when the clutch or brake lever digs into the top of my leg. I have tilted the bars all the way forward, and also tilted the brake & clutch levers as far as I can, safely, and the problem still persists. Also, after a long ride, I find my neck to be hurting more than on the old bike. I think I'm reaching farther forward on this one. I found these things all over the place online, and just wanted to check in here before laying down the cash: http://www.ebay.com/itm/200603911792?_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649&item=200603911792&viewitem=&sspagename=STRK:MEWAX:IT&vxp=mtr#ht_1052wt_1056 Anybody have any other suggestions? I'm all ears. Yeah, I know the "sounds like you're all legs" is coming. Thats ok. I can take it. Thanks. Bert

I am doing the rear tire replacement with the bike kneeling, no front tire. And I had a :buttkick:dumb ( you fill in what ever words that fit ) attack, I forgot to put a strap on the centerstand and engine guard. We were slowly lowering the front and then she rolled forward off of the center stand .She didn't fall over but hit pretty solid and squarely on the exhaust. It took 3 of us to get her back up on the stand. This time I strapped her up and lowered again and all is good. But with the nose tilted down that far I now have a couple of drops of oil on the floor about the size of a quarter after being tilted for an hour. Is this anything to worry about or could it be comming out of somewhere it wouldn't when level? I do like trying this stuff on my own but the unknowns drive me crazy. any responces are deserved and welcomed.
