thanks! I'll keep that in mind. I'm still getting to know the inner workings of my bike so it would be great to have some guidance when the manual is not enough. BTW, do you have the repair manual for our bikes? I have the repair manual for the next generation ('06), but not ours. :/ for the most part, it's been helpful since there wasn't TOO much change between generations, but I guess it would be nice to see the one for the '05.
