I made a lazy Susan to turn my TC around in my garage.

I changed the oil every 8000 km and the plug was always clean so I was concerned. Had good ride today so I will check the next oil change and hope all is good. Thx for the post.

I kept the old oil and submerged a magnet in the oil and didn’t find any metal filings.

I didn’t take a picture, should have.

Changed my oil at 50000 km and notice two small metal filings on the plug, I change the oil every 8000 km this is first time I have seen a metal filings. The bike works great done a 800 km scoot the other day with no problems but concerned. Looking for suggestions, thanks in advanced.

Hi, Can you adjust the rear suspension on the Transcontinental, last summer during a long ride the rear suspension bottomed out. Only happened that one day but a couple of times during the ride. Thanks Barry

Thx for the info, I was concerned something leaked.

I was cleaning up my bike for winter storage and noticed the rear strut reservoir had what I thought was road film on it. I started to clean the reservoir with soap and water and the paint came off. The suspension seem fine and I don’t have any error messages, just concerned some may have leaked...

Hi, Did you have to retune the emission system. Thx Barry

Hello from Nova Scotia Canada

Hi, I recently purchased a Corbin sear and backrest for my TC, I am happy with the the seat but not the backrest position. I find the backrest is to far back, you can adjust the angle of the backrest but not positioning forward or backwards. So my question is has anyone modified the backrest...
