    Being there's only 2 to choose from, I'll say the first one is the best one I've heard.....

    Dang... the title of this thread sorta threw me off... LOL Well anywayz... if I'm reading this right, you gotta pull the pumpkin (differential) to grease those splines and that is extra, after the wheel is off. If you're talkin about the splines inside the wheel hub, that can be done when the wheel is off and nothing extra needs to be dismantled but you should check the (I call them "dampers") while in there. Frankly speaking, when you have the wheel off, you should go the extra distance and pull the pumpkin and check/grease the driveshaft splines, both front and rear. It's not a major job. (just my $0.02 cents)

    I see a lot of reference to "billet" chrome items. The only definition of this I can find is that the part in question has been machined from a metal ingot (aka a billet) rather than cast in a mold. Is this the right definition for those "billet chrome gizmos"?

    Further to Rod's post, I've always heard that you should never connect the negative cable direct to the battery. Connect it to a part of the chassis or the engine. Reason is, if you get a spark (for whatever reason), it could blow up the battery. Additionally, never connect the cables when the vehicle is running. I've also heard that there is a possible danger of blowing up the on-board computer of the "donor" vehicle.

    Interesting... on page 20 & 21 it says when adjusting the air pressure in the shocks, there should be no weight on the wheels ... yet in the owners manual, it doesn't suggest that at all. (or am I reading this incorrectly?)

    From it I got answers to two questions, one of which seemed to be befuddling others. The location/position of the Cylinder Head Cover Plate (that was in the way of accessing the seat nut) ... According to this manual, it appears to be on the right rear cylinder and the lip is facing upwards at the rear, thus getting in the way of accessing the seat nut. The PO gave me this little bag with a very small allen wrench and screw...he said he had no idea what it was for. This manual explained that. Both above answers are on page 8 of the manual. EDIT... here I go, getting my left and right mixed up .... I meant to say LEFT above...am I right?

    6 celcius (42 F) today... a bit sunny...wife & I bundled up and rode for about 5 hrs. We were a bit chilled by the time we got home but nothing too serious. Was a great ride! In less than 2 weeks I've put on more km's than the original owner put on in 2 years!

    heh... if we were all 7' 3" we'd probably have the same feelings! fyi, I prefer it when my feet are pointing UPwards! oh, but that's not related to motorcycles..... (but it could be!) so there!

    You mean there are folks out there who don't do this already??? They're certainly not a part of this group! btw, there is a movie about this...it's very good I think.

    I never had my own device for balancing carbs so, I would get them checked at a shop only when the bike appeard to need it... some 2 or 3 year intervals. Now that I own a 2nd gen, I will be ordering the Morgan Carb-tune as it appears these 2nd gen's require it more often than 1st gen's.... :witch_brew:

    heh... we just finished the soup we made from the carcass from our turkey coz our thanksgiving was.... weeks ago? .... Maybe I'll be ready for more turkey come xmas but right now, I just want STEAK!

    took me a second or so to get the jist of what you meant LOL ... so just to confirm, you're positioning your heel in preparation for the upshift in such a way that your brain knows that your shifter is right behind your heel.... heh .. good plan .... only one problem .... my heel is usually on the ground with the rest of my foot .... then when I take off, I place my feet on the floorboards and then I sometimes have to "hunt around" with my heel to find the shifter... haha... guess it's like finding your nose with your index finger when your eyes are closed... sometimes you get it right on, other times you're a little off... the more you do it , the more consistently accurate you are.

    My new scoot is the first one I've ever had with either floorboards or heel-toe shifter. Took a bit getting used to them...still haven't fully trained my right brain where the heel shift is but it's getting there LOL. Gotta say...I do like both and the position of my legs/feet are far more comfortable.

    I'm curious to know what brand / part number of fuel filter you guys used to replace (and relocate) the stock one. Is there any write-up / pics anywhere for this?
