    05 1150R brake bleeders, clutch and brake levers.

    Greetings all! Two questions here. I'm looking to delete my ABS system and am trying to get a consensus on the size of the bleeders. I need to purchase one for the new distribution block for the front brakes and was thinking of switching the calipers over to the Speed Bleeders while I had...

    04 1150R alternator belt?

    I ordered the part online ( non OEM) and when I got it, found it was too wide. I think my year was after the change, so could anyone guide me with a new part number? Drayco or Conti? Thanks.

    Dual sport tires for 04 1150R?

    I know I will eventually get a GS, but in the meantime, what about dual sport tires? I live on a dirt road and have plenty of good dirt roads in the area. Am I nuts for trying this? Have any of you done something similar? Recommendations for tires? Thanks for your wisdom.

    04 1150R low fuel indicator not very low

    My low fuel indicator doesn't seem at all accurate. I'm annoyed the bike doesn't have an actual gauge but could be happier if the light was useful. I have about a gallon and a half when the light comes on. Any ideas on how I might adjust it, or is there an aftermarket gauge out there? Thanks!
