I had a air leak coming out of one of the spokes and shortly after I learned I have tubes in the tires lol. And then I learned the V stars Final drive splines should be greased periodically. So might as well kill two birds with one stone.

Currently hoping to have it back together tonight. Also changing the rear fluid and honestly it takes like 5 mins to do.
