    Center Stand

    When the stand is up, as in the top picture, it looks like it has been coming into contact with the bottom of the shock bracket and this has resulted in some of the paint being worn off of the shock bracket bottom. Is this correct? Can you hear the stand hitting against the bottom of the shock...

    It's all good Steven. Dealer added a little coolant and put on my high windshield. Service manager did the work. Good guy. I dig the high windshield. Cold here today. Had this done today.

    MJC. I was wrong on that. I þook the bike to the dealer this morning to have the coolant reservoir tank filled to the proper level and they told me that the first oil change is at 600 miles. I read some theory or personal opinion on a forum that speaks of the 25 mile oil change. The dealer said...

    ofDave, thank you for your advice. You are right about the first oil change. It will come soon enough. I am going to order the service manual hard copy right now. Thanks for the great information, reorientation, and help. Everything went very well at the dealer this morning and he put some...

    Yes Randy. I know what you mean. That's why I came to you guys in the first place. I don't mean to sound negative or anything like that. My apology. Here is the deal. I called the dealer this morning when they opened and talked to the service manager very politely. I told him that I thought...

    I'm okay. I love the bike. I'm not impressed with the dealer, like many around here. They neglected to do the initial preparation of my bike as was expected. I paid a lot of money for the bike and I paid for it to be properly prepared. That did not happen.

    I think the radiator is full but cannot find a place to check it. The reservoir has fluid in it so I'm thinking the radiator is full.

    I häve the online manual and want to buy a hard copy. I am brining it in, but they want you to drop it off, which I am not going to do. I will bring a container and ask them to put some coolant in the container if they tell me to drop it off. My truck is at the garage for service right now. I...

    The coolant reservoir tank is 7/8ths empty. Can this be right. Bike <1 week old. I think they should have delivered it to me with more coolant in the reservoir. What do you think? Is this normal?

    Where is the 'clutch oil filter' located????? I can't find it? Is it hidden under the fairing? I bought a Fram oil filter and I plan on doing the 25 mile oil change myself. I'll try to get the clutch 'oil filter' from the dealer. By the way, my mechanic, that is an older dude like some of...

    Take care of that tent. I have had many, many tents and that 3XT was the best tent I ever owned. I would love to get another one. I have a two person Eureka Timberline and it is nothing like the powerful endurance and strength of the 3XT with the pole sleeves and dome design. We just bought an...
