Yeah, the powers that be want you to pay for the info. Oh well, off to Amazon to buy a manual on the cheap. Anybody got good info on wheel/tire removal?

Anyone know where I can find a write up for removal of front and rear wheels so I can get my tires swapped out?

Thanks ahead of time!!

Thanks for putting this together. It has been a huge help to me with several items. It's the first place I look now when I go to do some maintenance.

Default 98 883 hugger

I need to replace my primary gasket but do not remember the torque pattern for removal and reinstallation. lost my service manual in divorce/move. please help. due to being medically retired from the Marine Corps I cant work and do not receive enough money from the VA to afford to replace my service manual just yet, still waiting on SSD.

Default Update?

I am looking to change the oil in my sportster for the first time and I was wondering if there was an updated section somewhere for the oil change portions. all of the links posted are broken
