No sadly I had to call it off, I have damaged my right hip and am waiting to get on the list for a replacement.

Before I was due to go I knew I had a problem, so I decided to try to see how far I ...

My 1st chance to get a long ride took place yesterday. Shall I say rain stopped play). Frome home to home, a distance of 200-220 miles was perfect no saddle sores or heart stopping moments where my kn ...

5 litres to be counted as the reserve, is just about 1.1 UK gallons which depending on how active you use the twist grip should give you around 60 miles give or take after the warning light comes on. ...

Thanks you all so much for your replies. At least I now know it's a 'normal' condition and should have no issues riding to the 200-mi mark while thinking of filling up.

I know I can probably ignore until ~200-mi on trip odo ...

I had the same happen to me. I installed foot pegs to the engine guards. That helps while moving along, but I did still find myself riding with my knees outside the fairing. I went with a used Corbin ...

I have both. Good suggestion, especially if there's a fitment issue. I won't be installing the seat for a couple weeks, yet. I was also thinking of mounting something like an under seat bicycle pack, ...

Not sure why they insisted on selling the #OPL, as it has an angle component to it that isn't much use, but here it all is:

I found a bracket for the Canyon Dual seat on the Corbin web site and they sell the hardware, too. Not sure what it is as there aren't any pictures. I wrote them and asked "Backrest support hardw ...

These pix show where Corbin post should attach to a bracket. Under the seat flap (top of seat, behind rider) there is just unpunctured foam. So, there doesn't;'t appear that a backrest was ever instal ...

Thank you so much for your time and attention to my post, but I'm really looking out for my comfort Smile

I just acquired a Corbin seat for my K11LT and I would like to add a backrest. Can anyone show me the mount/bracket needed under the seat. I wrote Corbin and they replied:

I'm sure Flying Duck
will chime in, I believe on bikes that sat and didn't have coolant flushed it can cause corrosion on the pump shaft, that scores the seals and causes the leaks. Plus the seals a ...

No, not "normal" the oil/water pump uses a common shaft with seals that keeps the oil from the water and such. If either seal is leaking you get something out the weep hole, sounds like you ...

Weep hole from the oil/water pump?
