    Oil pressure issues?

    Motorcycle Load/Speed Ratings Chart

    Help? Where the thread to remove OEM end can choke?

    Re-Farkling of my new 2024 ST

    Had the same issues, re. hands numbing as I gripping the hypothenar eminence area of my palm more. The Protaper with the flatter/backwards sweep sorted that out. And the seat leveling mod cured the leaning forward for me.
