love my versys-x 300. changed final gearing from factory 14/46 to 15/43 - gains: better manners, more road-like, still geared low enough for fire/back roads, better milage; losses: gear indicator (don't really care about this anyway - none of my other machines have one), taller wind screen, 60/40 tires, tusk panniers/duffel/tank bag, 120 db horn, and all the factory upgrades - guards, (silly) factory panniers, drive lights, stand, rear box. try not to ride at night. high vis. posted speeds.
ride AB, BC, SK, MT, ID, WA, OR, CA, WY, CO, UT, NV, AZ. fav rides: BC/WA kootenays, AB foothills, Glacier Park, Hwy2 MT to WA, pacific coast, Northern CA, AB hwy 40 forestry trunk road. fav places: twin butte general store, porcupine hills, glacier park lodge, small-town roadside cafes and bars - nuthin better ('cept maybe versys-x)
i needed fork service info and found the factory service manual here - THANKS for that.
nearby?
