Last fall i got squeezed up on a divider in the middle of the road. The bike got delivered into winter storage.
In the spring, i got the shop to change the tyres to new Michelin Road 6.
First ride in the spring. HORROR. A horrible harmonic vibration/shaking that comes from speed of 50-70 kph.
First thought, did they not balance the tyres ?? get them balanced. no effect.
Notice the rims are damaged.
change both rims. Does not help ???

Not that I doubted it... Anywho, not really a how-to, but here's some pics of my own process.

I used a "URTONE" momentary button, and a Motion Pro 01-0080 throttle tube to get it done. The OEM RH grip is molded with the tube. I have done new grips on Kawasaki, Yamaha and Triumph, before. Never saw that until now. PITA. Anywho, the OEM cam diameter is 34mm, and the Motion Pro tube I bought was around 32. So, rather than deal with a longer throw, I used some JB weld to make it a...

I got a decent deal on a set of panniers, topbox and carrier off a Crossrunner 800. I know that the panniers will fit straight on, I suspect that the topbox will fit the 800F carrier. However, i am pretty sure that the Crossrunner carrier will not fit.

Sourcing an 800F carrier appears to be nigh-on impossible, but there is some availability of the 1200 rear carrier (08L42-MGE-800 or 08L71-MJM-D10 ). Does anyone know if this will fit the 8th gen 800?

I have checked that both tyres are rotating in the correct direction so its is not simply the fitter installing the tyre the wrong way around simply they got the valve pointing to the wrong side.

Pulled off the road and tried what i could. Stand up down, kill switch on off, shifting gears, clutch in/out, and no response from the starter. Does not try to crank and lights do not dim.
