Thanks Doug , I will double check the lines and add the seafoam asap . Just seem to start all of a sudden . Thanks for the heads up on not adjustable idle also .

Hi guy's , just asking if their is a way to adjust the idle on my 09 SM5 . It's runs around 1400 and 1450 at idle . Took the side panels off , but still hard to see around front of the throttle body...

Ok guys, she is back on and seems to be ok. Took it for a drive, topped up the oil and torqued the screws again the next day. So far so good. Thanks

I have the same problem . It is a bit loud , but the worse is that it is leaking between the first grey ring and the black sleeve . I contacted HINDLE and they said that THEY can repack it . Think i...

Thanks guy's , I think that's what the tec that done the work on my bike did . I think he forgot to torque them. I was driving in town and could smell hot oil . Pulled over and had a puddle of oil on...

Lost some socket head screws on the Clutch release cover . Lost 5 out of the 8 and found 2 in the bottom pan. It blew oil every where . Would anyone have a torque spec for them little buggers ? I...

Well guys .. got her home today . Works like a charm . Took a few more parts that I was hoping , but I'm glade it's done. They had to change the REAR sprocket also . And of course the bearing and...

Well guys ... shop called and everything is working great. They are going over the parts list. There were parts that were ordered separately, but came on the shaft. And seals that came in the gasket...

Well guys... got an update on my bike. They installed the new shaft that had new bearings, gears, and bushing on it. Also the new front sprocket (white) with a new bolt and washer. Replaced the...

Thanks guys... That's right, miles and smiles. 180lbs sounds good to me too Freddy. It will be on my Stinger trailer Tuesday morning ready for the road trip.

Yes ... I will have it stripped down and done right. Parts that need to be replaced, have been ordered. (those we know of) I really do enjoy this ride, got my bike license before my car license....

Freddy, I see you put 115ftlbs on the NEW bolt and washer. What are you putting for tension on YOUR belt? I had a machinist come over last night and after a long discussion, he talked me into doing...

Freddy ... the big pulley you're talking about, is that the one on the rear wheel? And if so, is it the double row bearing that the pulley rides? If so, I will order it and the seal for it.

Ok guys, my new sprocket was ordered today. If they put an order in today, I could see it Friday. If not ordered until tomorrow, I will see it Tuesday. I was told a bolt and washer comes with the new...

If I bite the bullet and get it done right, I want to make sure it doesn't happen again. Bolt at 115ftlb's and need to find the tension for the belt. (New sprocket $200 tax inc.)
As far as the 10 -...

Well guys... I called the shop this morning - the sprocket is $173.39; the Shaft with seal is $397.29; The labor is 10 - 12 hours @ $105 per hour; plus any gaskets that are needed. Of course, the...

Freddy ... welding was a thought - Sprocket and shaft being toast. I've seen the service bulletin reading 81 to 89 ft/lb for the bolt. I will phone the shop today and get a price on parts and labor....

I have 20,800 klm's on the bike. The shop put a new rear tire on it last year and all I ever did was adjust the belt to run in the right spot.

Don't like the looks of the teeth on the shaft Freddy. Looked at the pictures on the other post... wished mine looked that good. Not sure if the pictures I up loaded came in. I...

Not sure on the benefit either .. but I like the looks of it for sure .

Good morning all , I have a question about the front sprocket on my 09 GS 990 ES. last time I had it out I noticed a ratcheting sound when down shifting in first and second gear. I adjusted the rear...

Just checking to see if anyone else , with the same setup and is getting the same thing . I have a 2009 , GS with a Hindle / Can-am exhaust . When i am shifting , i get the smell from the exhaust ....

Your right guys... three new tires and an alignment ... WOW ... what a difference . After an hours drive home , i looked at the front tires on the highway and they were even across the tread pattern...

Thanks for confirming that guys. And tire pressure is something I watch very close . And you right Ron , this is my second season on my Spyder and probably will see a big difference .

BajaRon ... what do you recommend for the older 09's GS's . I know you use Amsoil . Witch Amsoil for the older v-twins ?

Ok ... Thanks jcthorne , bike steers and tracks fine . Just wanted to know if the alignment would stop this for sure .

Hey all , I have a 2009 GS SE5 with 15000 klm's on it . The front tires are wearing on the insides . Right side more than the left side ( by quite a bit ) . Can someone tell me if a Laser Alignment...

That looks great ... Nice job . Nice ride also . :)

Thanks guys , and thats what it is. I just thought it may have been a little hight .
It's bad to drive ... it's like driving a sports car . You just want to drive fast . It handles like nothing...

Can someone tell me what the 2009 GS 990 SM5 should idle at ? Thanks
Oh .... and i had it out for the last couple of day ... for the first time . I will have to say , it was rhe most fun i had .....
