This is to encourage all of the people that create these great "how to" posts on maintenance, fixes, and mods to consider creating wiki articles. It is also to inform newer members who may not yet realize it exists.
Off of the wiki main page is a page called Model Directory Scroll down and you will see our models listed. I have added a few articles for the 400 and 250 and ramblerdan added to the 400. But for the most part there has been little added. In fact, there is nothing for the 500 yet.
I think the wiki could be a great resource for the MV community and the riding community at large. It is much easier to find information there than to have to search through the thousands of threads in other areas. Also, creating links to related wiki articles really helps speed up research.
Even what seems to be the simplest procedure to one person may be a Rubik's cube to another that has not done it yet. A wiki can contain written directions alone or with pictures and even videos (i think). And since it can be edited by all, mistakes and changes be corrected or updated.
Article ideas:
Tire changes both front and rear
Brake line draining and refilling
Brake pad changes
Belt and roller changes
Stebel installation
...and tons more.
Anyway, just thought I'd plug the wiki. Here are some links on BBCode (used to format articles).

Ok I am putting my pom pons away now.
