    Hello guys, long story short, I was attempting my first ever fork maintenance, just the basic stuff, changing seals and bushings, everything went according to plan until I was reassembling my left fork. I didn't pay attention when screwing back the Rod Guide Case and turns out I had it slightly...

    Had a bit of an accident turning too sharply on a slippery surface and now my front alignment is a bit messed up. I have tried to loosen all the bolts and do the bounce truck to no avail. I have a rear paddock stand but not the front one. Would like to jack up the front end to get the forks out...

    Hello Everyone, I love my Versys-X 300, but I hate its damper-rod front suspension that hydraulically locks over high-speed bumps, particularly corrugations on gravel roads. The stock front end is very harsh when it encounters high-speed bumps. For low-speed bumps it is fine. Have any...

I'm posting this in the hope others who may wish to attempt this may find reading it helpful, in addition to the other resources out there like the service manual (the bible), other threads on this site and the many good HOW...

    Good day to all my fellow Versys/Kawi riders! I have a 2009 Versys with only 21,000km on it. It was smashed way back in 2009 and stored by the previous owner till I bought it last year with only 10,000km on it. the only issue with it was the front fender mounts were sheared off but no fork...

    Hi there, I was goofing off in the sand dunes in Colorado last year :badidea: and took a little spill that essentially ended my summer of riding (but I was having a blast right up until the impact). My first broken bone - yay! The bike seemed to be okay except for the handlebars getting...

    OK, there really isn't any black magic involved. No, really. The suspensions main task, from a performance perspective is to keep the wheels in contact with the ground as much as possible and minimize the bike's movement, or at least keeping those movements under control. There are several...
