Wondering how to change your gear oil?.. Install PIAA's? Integrate Phase-shifting technology? Well..mates...you've come to the right place. This section is my humble effort to make installs and some maintenance procedures a little easier for you, the esteemed (and quasi-esteemed) K12 rider. In this section I have accumulated "How-To" info from all around the world...from fellow riders, the factory manual, my own experiences, quadrazine hallucinations, etc.. I could go on but I know your attention span is about as long as a New York minute... with that said... BEFORE you proceed ... please read my DISCLAIMER. You'll find it on the same page as the picture of a naked Angelina Jolie on a K12.
Did you read it? or have someone read it to you? OK.. Do keep in mind that the methods shown below are NOT the ONLY route (or the best or the smartest way) to get the desired results. Each is just one individuals' idea of how to do a project. Alrighty then... hope the following links help with your mechanical endeavors. May your respective god(s) have mercy on you and bike. Proceed at your own risk. Note: A special thanks to the many individuals who contributed to this section.
