You might want to inspect the front sprocket, at these mileages it could be worn, and a worn front sprocket puts more stress on the chain.

You will need to adjust at its tightest spot. The chain is to be raplaced if it can be lifted more than 5 mm. from the rear sprocket, or if parts are missing, like rollers or O-rings. The rate of adjustments/wear depends on maintenance, With spray on lubricants the chain might last for 20-35...

I've seen some nasty scratch marks on Tracer engine covers, even tho they had bobbins or crash bars fitted. To prevent this I opted for the Fehling Bars I don't intend to try them out immediately, but I think they look pretty "adventure proof" :cool:

Had the Krauser cases on my previous bike so I started with the K-wing fixed to the Yamaha standard top case rack. Then I modified some bars for the panniers. Without the Krausers it doesn't look very obtrusive, like the GIVI racks.

I'm in the market for some panniers too, but really like to know what it looks like without the panniers attached. Some side racks look pretty obtrusive. I was used to the easy SW Motech removable racks on my Fazer.

Thought about getting another screen too, but first experimented a bit with the screen angle. Jus like one of the previous contributors, I added a spacer (10mm) and it improved the riding comfort a lot... Then I took it a bit further and added another spacer (20 mm) for a total fo 30 mm. Now it...

Wouldn't it be nicer if you routed the oil line on the inner side of the swing arm?

I used the dampening plate screw too for the Pro-Oiler nozzle (See thread: GPS Controlled Chain Lube System )

As I like to swap my satnav between my different bikes, I installed a RAM-ball mount on the left mirror clamp. You just exchange the std bolt for the elongated one from the RAM-ball. 12 Volt is taken from the standard power socket.

Well, I am still going to put my tire repair kit under the seat too :) The display can be used to increase lubrication while riding in heavy rain or dusty roads. You can also switch to "timed" mode manually for off-road conditions, where speed is low and lubrication demand high. This "timed...

I had Pro-Oilers on all of my previously owned bikes so far and really like the economic, speed related lubrication. This time I went for the new satellite controlled option (as I did not want to mess around with the ABS speedo sensors) The kit came with a nozzle bracket designed for the...

planning to fit Krauser K-Wing on the factory rack I ordered a factory rack. After installation I will bolt a Krauser K-wing on top of it for my K5 top case. Still playing with the thought for a more "millitary style" satin black aloy box type case tho like: Space versus style.... Mmm
