Did you know you can order the K&N lunchbox air filter from Amazon.com now? I ordered one today, it was $34.11, and they give free shipping. Can someone add that to the Wiki please?

I love the Wiki !

[sanjay]

You add it!     That's the whole point - anybody can add to it.  Just click edit at the top of the air filter page.

Yup, that was addressed in my post a few days ago when I mentioned you can get it from AJUSA for $34.11 as well with free shipping. 

Got it 18 hours after I ordered it as well!!!

I was on the Wiki at lunch time to day and couldn't get the wiring diagrams to come up.Anybody know what's going on?My G/F claims she got a virus from the GS Wiki,but I ain't to sure I believe that.

[sanjay]

All of them came up for me except the US EK model, where the imageshack hosting link has expired.  I don't think you can get a virus from it, but more details would be helpful.

That was the one I was looking for US EK.The virus I'm pretty sure my G/F picked up some where else.It starts as soon as the operating system boots.Avast antivirus blocked it and notified it as being a worm.It flashes the notifier so fast I can't get any detail.I'm running scans now but not picking it up.

If you don't have any luck with getting rid of your worm, download AVG antivirus. It's free and it works great. It has cought a bunch of bugs trying to penetrate my system. I've never had a problem. It updates it's virus definitions everyday.

Avast updates every few hours and has a pop up plus a voice command telling you that it has updated the definitions.Program updates are displayed in a pop up that's a different color and a voice command lets you know there's a program update.Avast caught the worm and notified by a pop up and a voice command.I really like the program.My G/F get's virus's because she frequently go's to crap sites to by cheap junk.There she usually picks up a virus or she opens an unknown email from an unknown sender.Then I have to clean up the mess.I've already had to replace hardware because of her.

The Wiki is timing out when I attempt to update it.

I would like to add the following three notes to the bottom of the oil change thread.

# Removal of old crush washer: Grab the old crush washer using a pair of channel lock pliers, and hold the bolt with a wrench.  Twist the old crush washer off.
# Alternative removal of old crush washer.  Use a cold chisel and gently tap it down using a hammer on the aluminum washer at the 12:00, 3:00, 6:00 and 9:00 position.  Tap hard enough to go through the aluminum, but not hard enough to damage the bolt. Be careful of the threads on the bolt.
# If you have a fairing (GS500F), use a socket set with two extenders when removing oil filter bolts.  It will make it easy to reach inside.

Thank you!

Hi,

I made contribution to Wiki by adding article of handguards.

You can find it under "Upgrades".

[Taajuus]

Looks like "Upgrades" pages "Paint" and "Powdercoating" dont have anything, not even in history. Should they be removed completely?

I will write new article about waterproof GPS mountcase, as soon as I get mine done

[Taajuus]

Oh come on... Please try to get Wiki on better server

I was just trying to add article about my cool waterproof GPS mountcase and it died! And slow too often...

[Taajuus]

Ah! Got it done, finally...

Check it out:

[mkrasavin]

I just want to thank everyone that contributed to making that page possible. Its absolutely amazing. Hopefully this winter i'll be doing some of the mods shown on the page and I'll bring out the nikon d40 for some good quality pics to add!

Fix please?

I've also been having issues editing the wiki.
