    In the last two weeks I have had some pretty good saddle time, about 600 miles with 100 miles of that being on dirt. The dirt riding has primaryily been on maintained and unmaintained forest roads of varying condition along with a little bit of challenging single-track and some practice on a...

    Knocking upon deceleration ??????????

    Thanks Graham, I figured out that the clutch lever needs to be depressed and pushed down to fully engage the switch. As the clutch lever floats up and down a bit it does not seem to engage the switch near the top of its float area. Brian

    Knocking upon deceleration ??????????

    Hi, Mystery of the day needing a diagnosis! Scenario, cruising at 45-50mpb 3rd or 4th gear, stoplight, roll off throttle and let the bike slow while in gear. Down around 15-20mph I start to hear a knocking that is steady and does not speed up or slow down with rpm. The knocking goes away with...

    Squeaky rear suspension

    Try greasing every zirk you can find in the area. Then If try spraying a bit of lube on the cylinder of the shock and then compress the shock a few times. I had this issue on my NX650 so I sprayed a bit of Corosion Block and the squeek went away. I'm thinking that the rubber seals down inside...
