I like it when parts fail at the right time.

My gear position indicator on the RS crapped out today. Doesn't show neutral half the time and was just plain being funky. Fortunately the bike just turned 50k and I was planning on doing a spline lube so the swing arm will be coming off anyhow. Perfect timing.

Spline lube would be a great tech sticky.

The only problem is that the write-up would take longer than the spline lube. Rolling Eyes

A picture says a thousand words. How about just taking some pics as you go & posting them in sequence.

Better yet upload a U-tube movie.

Right on Sonu Wink

U tube may be the go but sequential pics with minimal write up would be so instructive for us...

Even if you just covered the tricky parts and glossed over the more straightforward procedures....

We would be grateful for generations to come Very Happy

Meh, beer ain't gonna cut it for a spline lube. That would take a 1.75 liter bottle of Crown Royal. Very Happy

I should've had Roy take pics/video last summer when I was putting his K1100LT back together.
