The XJRider.com How-to Challenge:

XJRider.com needs your help. We are missing some basic content in the how-to section for some routine maintenance and repair items. To provide some motivation for members to help create that content, I propose a contest; and any good contest deserves some good prizes. Up for grabs are two $100 USD gift cards to Motorcycle Superstore. Use them to help fund gear purchase, buy parts or try some new oil.
