I got a speedo cable under warentee. I am wondering ... I just changed oil and my only filter is a metal screen is there an actual filter i can buy and put in that hole??

Also is there any way I can reduce the amount of handlebar vibration? I have arm pump after about 25 miles. I am thinking big bars and maybe soft grips, but i have never changed thethrottle side grip on a motorcycle before. All of my previous experence has been with my raptor 700...

I doubt that there is a cartridge filter that will fit your engine, but you can invest in a magnetic drain plug for extra insurance.

I've read on this forum that aluminum bars will reduce vibration. replacing grips on the throttle tube is no big deal; just use a blow gun on a compressor to ease removal and installation. Insert the tip of the blow gun under the edge of the grip and slide the grip off as air is blown underneath.

Thank you. I will have to shop for some big bars and clamps. I am now learning that I should have checked spokes..... My front tire seemed to instantly go down. I all most put the bike down, but anaged to get off the road. I inially went through and tightened all of my spokes some because they all were not very tight to me and my wheel is not o true, but not too bad now. I should hav read some articles on the internet. I now know I had no need in tightening them all and will be tweaking the rim properly tonight.
