If it’s an M8, and it won’t start in gear with the clutch pulled in, the clutch switch is sticking. Squirt some WD40 on it, and activate the lever a dozen times should fix it.

Oh yeah, dealer goodies:
1) Can’t replicate that
2) They all do that…

Oh let me see, got all kinda little one off and tricked out things I did to the shovel.

Made a trick dual coil bracket the mounts off the upper motor mount, stamped on it is " Size Does Matter "

On the rear I made a custom dual caliper brake setup running twin PM 4 piston calipers mounted on a custom bracket I designed. It's an eye catcher but the way it mounts the stabilizing arm tucks in along the swingarm. Just in front off the shock on that side is a little stainless retainer tab I made that you really need to get in close to see that has " Nosey F**k ain't yah " stamped on it.

Did another little trick setup for the airpump for the rear shock's , mounts just in back of the kicker cover down low on the frame, on the heat sheild I made is stamped " Blow Job ".

You can kinda see the rear brakes and the airpump in this pic.

Oh almost forgot the points cover is a one off handmade item, was a gift from some boys I knew in Colorado.

last if you look at the front of the tanks you will see a shutoff valve where the cross over tube should be.

There's more but these you can see.

Entertaining when peeps are looking the bike over and stumble across these.

Don't bother with the funky oil filter funnel/drip catcher. Tuck a doggy potty pad under the oil filter and let'r drip. Toss the potty pad when done, or put back in the pack for wifee to find... Game on!

I considered it a smart a$$ joke lol, but it could happen. Never happened to me or anyone I ride with. Yet
