  6. Newb questions
    Do these bikes have quickshifters and is the rear spindle size 40.5 pin for paddock stand?
    I'm thinking of turning a spindle to fit thru with a shoulder on it and turn bobbins on the ends to utilise my existing normal paddock stand
    Has this bein done b4?

  10. Pretty sure the 1199 has oem quick shifter (shift up), easy tell is if there is a cable coming from the shift rod. Looking in the forum it seems several people chose to replace the oem quick shifter with an HM one.

  19. is it a splash from fuel ? I recall it will damage the plastic

  20. Maybe you can find some product on amazon to remove without any major damage
