    What's with all the rubber?

    It amazes me that a motorcycle with a marginal cooling system has so many obstructions to air passing through the radiator. I've disassembled my bike to make modifications, and there's rubber everywhere! I searched extensively, and the only thing could find was a suggestion by someone who...

    Rubber sheeting around engine?

    Working on my 17' RC390 and there is rubber sheeting zip tied all over. Is this important? Does it keep wires off the hot engine? Is it cooling engineering? Have you all removed it with no effect? Any info appreciated!

    2015 RC 390 front right turn signal dangling by wire.

    So my turn signal decided to pop out of its rubber stalk. I've tried pushing and rotating the turn signal back onto the rubber stalk but it doesn't seem to be working. Is there a way I can get this thing back on properly? I'd rather not use electrical tape or glue. Thanks in advance.

    Rear Hub Rubber Dampers

    As long as I've got the rear wheel off (new rear tire), thought I'd check the rear hub rubber dampers. How many miles do these usually last?

    Rubber Engine shroud removal?

    I've been looking at the flexible rubber shroud between the radiator and engine head. At first I thought it was to improve cooling, but I'm thinking more that it might keep the hot air off the rider and maybe reduce engine noise. Do the Cup bikes have this floppy rubber sheet like the street...
