I have a LS2 dual sport helmet (MX436) and it is a really good bang for the buck purchase. Comfy, good features, and really quite cheap compared to others on the market. It's not anywhere near the fit and finish of Shoei but it's a good value.

Really cool to watch how this is unfolding.

Give the chain a thorough clean - it's really rusty and dirty looking. See if it turns better and rolls evenly through the sprockets. Could just be gunk and crap stuck in the links. My guess is that chain (and sprocket set) is done - it sounds like you have links that are not flexing and rolling as the chain rotates around the sprocket. I doubt it would be brakes or bearings - those really last a long time but maybe pull out the rear pads and have a look. If the previous owner let the chain get to that state you may have some maintenance to do on the bike.

Use the correct amount of the force ( on your oil filter). 😝

This is an easy mistake to make if your last filter got the seal stuck on the motor. If you're not paying attention it's really easy to miss the old seal stuck on their and put on a new filter.

Good pics! Ride while you can. Days are numbered here, too.

Carb cleaner will dissolve it with very little effort. You may use quite a bit to clean things up but it works.

Indeed. Really enjoyed your company at the meet last summer, too. Our paths will cross again. :)

Well, as luck would have it, my original statement holds true. I wasn't sure if I'd be going in spite of already booking the hotel room, and, I won't be attending after all. That will free up one room at the hotel if someone is still interested. I'll contact the hotel today and let them know. I hope everyone has a great ride and time. Mike

Booked. I'm not sure if I can actually make it yet but I've booked a room just in case.
