I was putting together a "spares" kit for a ride and noticed that my main fuse is 20 amps. The manual calls for a 10 amp. Was there ever an update anywhere that called for a 20 amp?

My 440X sits most of the time. I start it about once a week. When cold, the trans site glass shows half full and the frame is empty. Once I start it, the frame goes to half. Yesterday, I started it and the frame went to almost full and the trans showed about 1/3 full. When I shut it down the frame w...

I agree. I did not love the MSR kit and have not ridden the bike much since I installed it. I was not used to seeing 2 springs in the seals. Most every seal I have changed only had 1 spring. I was a bit confused as to which side to face the oil.Hopefully it will last for at least a few years.
