Thank you for search feature idea, since I don't have internet at home and I have to rely on the library it is tough to find time to scan all the search results. So it is safe to say if I what to drive at a lower RPM on the highway switch to 17th tooth. Any clue on say if I am driving at 80mph what king of rpm saving I will have? Thanks Again Greg

Since I am going to be changing my change soon I thought I would ask the question if I can put a smaller amount of tooth rear sprocket on the bike to lower RPMs at highway speeds? 1) has anyone done this. ( I think the XX has plenty of power) 2) what size 3) where to get 4) do I have to cut down the new chain 5) is it hard to do 6) is it worth it to change gearing per say Thanks for any feedback Greg

Oh Boy this might be too good to be true. Insane price as stated!!!!! I guess I have to start NOW twisting the WAR departments's arm and put my Bird up for sale Bad timing though before X-Mas and all...

I think I will sell my bird for that!!! I live in NJ and I was already thinking of selling my bird. Recall done or any problem with leaking diff? Greg

Moving soon just want them out of the basement Shoot I might even put th ebird up for sale also:( Greg

Sorry you are 100% correct: I live in Budd Lake, N.J. off of RT 46 Morris County About 20min-30min East of the Delaware Water Gap on RT 80. If someone needs or want bad enough I will ship But, I have no idea how much that will be and it will just drive cost. Thanks for point that out: Greg

I have the stock headers and pipes for my bike and looking to get rid of. Make an offer and local pickup only. Greg redrider1@optonline.net

How many miles do you get after light come on-on a 97-98 Bird? I ran out of fuel today on 190 tank. Fuel light came on at 162 and i normally have a good room to spare but not today. Just some thoughts would be cool.

Can the XX handle heated gloves and a heated jacket at the same time?

Ok my fellow riders I am changing my pad on my XX for the first time on any bike. I am not a wrencher and I do not hink that I can go as far as to removal of the pistons and clean/lube and put back in. Before I reset(push) the pistons back in can I use over the counter barke cleaner?? I read the back and it said to be careful on plastic and rubber. Isn't the seal made out of rubber or did I just answer my own question. thanks in advance. Greg

Boy I remember those day!@! I did that to everyroom in my house This was my kitchen project Total cost 4624.18 and 3 months Greg

Thanks guys after a clear head and washing my new baby I came to my crazy conclusion!! It appears that I mounted the front tire on backwards by just looking at the bike after washing her I noticed the rim Mags(spokes) where facing a different direction from front to back and since you can't screw up the back the front has to be re-mounted and then new brakes. Boy what a PITA to save some $$ but I chaulk it up as a lesson Greg

OK now call me crazy. I just got done taling the wheel off again and switching the longer Collar(spacer) to the throttle side and no way the none throttle side rotor hits the fork. So i put it back the way i had it and the space between the rotor are dead equal space apart from the fork tubes I also switch the pad around in the fron since the left one was total worn down and now the front wheel does not spin as freely. I reset the piston on the master cyclinder on the one that need space. Put the front tire back on. I then turn the wheel and it moved very well. then I grabed the front brake and there was no pressure until i pumped it. Then the front tie would not turn as freely and the front brake wheer spongy at best. I think I should just break down and buy new pads and re-bleed the untire brake system. Any thoughts. thanks again. Greg

OK Just checking to be really sure. I have the larger front wheel spacer on the right side if you look at the bike straight in front of the bike. It should go on the left??? I drove the bike about 100miles and did not feel any different?? I hope I did not screw things up. If I have to flip it back around I guess It would be a good time to change the pads??? Please confirm. Greg

Thanks guys any places on-line that you could point me too?

Red thaks for the reply I think that I am more intune after wrenching on my bike or how can I say more conected:) As far as the pivet caliper (sp) as describe can I just go out and buy one brake pad or is it advised to change all? Again thanks Greg

OK Guys let me just start I am not a wrencher. A friend of mine just changed my tire on my bird. When I took off the front wheel I notice(Looking strat at the bike) that the right brake pad is warn to very almostr being shot while all the other pad look 50%better. Looks fishy to me. Also no after a test drive I notice more noise coming from the rotors, pads and clue. Little noise Then when brakes applied then relesed more noise then goes away. The if I turn the wheel while slow speed a little noise. When i got back the rotors didn't seem hotter than normal. Oh the large spacer goes on the right if looking at thre bike straight on? Just checking:) Thanks

Thanks. I am having pangs but would like the new Concours so I can stop wearing a backpack during my commute. I also want to be able to ride earlier and later in the season with better wind protection. Ah just get a Givi set up for the Bird. My good friend has the new C14 and really says it puts out ALOT of heat. Something to look into:)

I have a vista and it work great just needed a little love to set the engaging up correctly:) Greg

OK guys never mind I just need to play with it more to get the correct fitting. So with the Heli Bars on, Vista working and new grip I am ready for a trip Greg

OK my fellow rider I am trying to install a Vista Cruise Control on my XX. I followed the instructions per this site with shaving down the ring around the throttle and drilling a hole and putting a screw into the switch housing. The problem is that the Vista cruise will not stay engaged. I thought I adjusted it correctly with play in the throttle and it locks the thottle for a minute then just pops back. I did not put a hand grip on the throttle housing yet. I want to make sure this thing works. thanks in advance. Any thoughts? I don't want to say to myself you get what you pay for. Greg

I thought that you did not need to move anything when installing heli bars?

I raised my forks when I lowered the back and went high with the stock bars, when I raised the forks. I really don't think I need spacers(Gen mars) after some miles A-OK). Sorry for the high jack and just to note i have had Gen Mars in the past and the fit and finish on them are great.

Ok I used the search option but can find the right answer to my question. Where is the best place to by Heli Bars? thank you.

directions or pictures?
