When the clutch lever free play is adjusted correctly, the "friction point" is very close to the lever being all of the way out (engaged). You should only need to pull the lever in an inch or so (at...

I think that one is in the official nuns handbook- I'm 63 and still remember being whacked in this manner in the 4th grade.

Notice that Ari Henning's current long term test bike is an Aprilia RSV4R, so he can hardly be objective about power and performance. And I thought the article was way too easy on the Hyosung given...

Yeah, not catholic, but I bet it's a "christian" school. My guess is that a catholic school wouldn't have a problem with the bike.

The manual says API SE, SF or SG, or API SH, SJ or SL with JASO MA.

Check the air box, if you still have one. I've found them living in there several times. Makes the bike run really bad.

As will racing. I think the reason that Honda chose to introduce a single cylinder 250 is simple. Just look at the FIM Moto3 specifications that will replace the 125cc 2 stroke class in 2012;...

Sport Demons

Get the Sport Demons in stock sizes. I had them on my '01 and they were a huge improvement over the stock Dunlops. BTW, the OEM tires were available, so they might not be that old.

Yeah, it's true, the '08 forward are not as good as the previous model on mpg. My '01 consistantly got 69-72 mpg, and the best I've done with the '08 is 62. I'm afraid to check it now that I've...

Yeah, the whine is pretty noticible sometimes. Both my '01 and '08 do it, but sometimes I notice it, and sometimes I don't. I've always thought it was the clutch- seems to come from the right side.

Go with the Sport Demons, but don't mix and match- replace them both, preferably with the stock sizes. The only thing to be gained from a larger rear tire is purely cosmetic.

That pretty much defines my performance mods.

Why would you buy one of the lightest "real" motorcycles on the market and try to make it lighter?
