No pix, I no longer have the bike. But, I can tell you how to do it.

1. Put bike up on center stand
2. Dismount brake calipers, suspend them with cord to the mirrors to take strain off of the bra ...

1. Place bike on a stand that allows the front wheel to turn freely and provides sufficient room to dismount the fork tubes. Dismount the brake calipers, use some cord to suspend them from mirrors, th ...

The gas gauge is a reflection of the position of the float arm inside the tank. I took the gas cap assembly off and noticed the that float ball (acts just like the ball in your toilet bowl) which is a ...

By accident I discovered that if I start the bike while on the centerstand everything works as it should. Confused

Separate issue but an electrical problem. after riding about 20 minutes my left turn s ...

Well, based upon one of the responses, I took the gas cap assembly off and peered inside. there was approximately 1/2 tank of gas present. The "arm" with the white float ball attached was re ...

As I left for work the other morning I noticed my fuel on dead empty and the nasty yellow light was glowing. Shocked

I don't mind going to the gas station but I NEVER bring a vehicle home with less th ...

All done. Looks much better. By the way, I was fully versed in turning the handlebars. That wasn't the issue. No matter which way you turn them the working space was very tight.

But, I am all done. ...

I think I will go ahead and make the adjustment. I need to cut off the allen wrench so I have some working room inside the fairing area. That is very tight. But other than that it should be pretty pai ...

When I was having all the problems with my forks (the infamous stripped drain plug bolt), I ended up having to remove the fork tube from the top and taking the whole kit and kaboodle to the machine sh ...

That is too ironic. Mine was the right fork also. Hopefully, the gaiters will prevent any deterioration of the seals and you will be ok for a while. Ride safe!!

Sooo,
Tell us how you really feel! Laughing

As with all good stories, there should be an ending. I hope this is it.
I spoke with the repair shop when I picked up the fork. They used a liberal amount of oil, coupled with some significant hammer ...

I knew someone would ask. I won't know till I pick it up. But, you can be sure I will post the whole story after I get the bike together. Very Happy

Well, I tried the impact wrench solution. It did not work. I only succeeded in further reducing the amount of edge for the wrench. I finally just removed the entire fork tube. I went ahead and install ...

Will do.

Thanks everyone for all the good info, tips, and all around good gauge. I will visit the local truck fixer upper shop and grab a couple of the Rancho products.

What is the best source?

No, but I could stop by Harbor Freight and pick one up, Thanks.

Ok, I am convinced. Gaiters it is.

I have read a number of entries related to gaiters. Having been the victim of leaky seals discovered at vehicle inspection time, I probably pay more attention to mine than most riders. It seems to me ...
