Bought and '07 Silverado with 5K on the clock. Changed oil and filter today. What was the guy that designed this smoking. I'm not new to bikes but this set the record, timewise, for this maintenance. An ORK is in my future. Besides this, I love this bike!

Be safe

  5. V-Star 1300 clutch cable replacement

    V Star
    I'm working with a 2009 Star 1300. I've seen this question asked before but no one ever posts HOW they changed the cable. I know the gas tank needs to be lifted or removed. Does the exhaust need to be removed as well? Looks like it's impossible to get to the engine-side of the cable without...
