Should KLX230 air filter be oiled

Hello I have a 2024 KLX230 dual purpose. The manual does not give specifics on how to maintain the air filter. I have opened up mine and it looks quite straightforward to maintain. The foam filter still looks in good shape but seems quite dry. Is it supposed to be oiled regularly? or is this model using dry filter?

2026 Crosstrek towing tongue weight

Hello Subaru lovers, I was checking up on the new Crosstrek towing specs and I was surprised to see the limit is set at 181kg (400lbs). This is listed on the regular trim not the Wilderness model. Is that a mistake by the Subaru.ca web site? Previously the only way to get an upgraded tongue weight is to go with the Wilderness model.

R75/5 Heavy Steering when Pushed On Foot

Hello airheaders, I have a '71 R75/5 which I am slowly restoring back to life. Mechanically the bike is starting to working well. The front end has not been touched but I have replaced the brakes and and tires. When the bike is in motion, it is stable and rides well, but when it is at stationary, I find the steering very heavy, especially when I want to push it around manually. Not only I have to fight with the motorcycle weight, but the steering is also difficult to control. This is my first airhead so I just want to ask if that is typical of these bikes? I am not strong physically but I don't seem to recall having problem pushing other similar weight motorcycles.

Thank you fellow riders / samaritans Durham Region

Yesterday, along Durham York Regional Road / Steeles, I ran out of gas on my bike, was stranded roadside and I forgot to bring my cell phone (stupid me). Several fellow riders and drivers have offered to help, some of you took time to U-turn and made sure I was ok. In the end, you helped me called CAA and I was back on the road an hour later. I want to thank all of you who flagged me and saved me a ton of hassle. It was my mistake for being forgetful but this surely made me feel good that the community of rider spirit is still strong in Toronto Canada. Thank you again guys and ride safe everyone!

Any good Airhead mechanics in Toronto Canada

Hello not sure if this is an appropriate group to post this question. Does anyone know if there are still mechanics knowledgeable with Airheads in Toronto, Ontario Canada? I know of Air Support BMW but it is in another city (Kitchener) that is an hour of highway drive away.
