Welcome to the forums. Lots of great help and friends to be found.

 

Welcome to the forums, check the whats in your garage thread for cheap parts that are in a guys way.

 

Congrats, I had the same problem with the light, finally bought a cool Billet LED off ebay for about 20 bucks. No problems since. Like
Cynick said check the garage thread and save some coin!

The manual will not do you any good. You can use any oil made for wet clutch... I use Honda oil, takes a whole gallon... just remember to crank the engine when the oil tank is full to work it into the case (assumeing you drained both tank and case)... any motorcycle coolant will work, I like Engine Ice. There are tons of opinions on fluids (especially oil) do some searches and you will see all the various opinions.

 

led only way to go, and the cheap ones are 6-7 buck have years on mine.
