    Battlax 021

    My BT020's were getting badly cupped after 7800 km's (4700 miles) I do a lot of sport riding with R1's and Gixers, I'm pleased with the bridge stone sticky hold on the road, but the life is less than stellar... I think i will try either the Michelin Pilots next or a Pirelli Diablo Corsa. No...

    Do you use the clutch when you upshift?

    The clutch is a consumable like tires, gas and oil, each has a scheduled life span, and used properly will last the rider its scheduled life and more. Using the clutch makes riding effortless and smooth, and takes the guess work out of "did i get it right THIS TIME"?

    46 Liter top box wanted for blue '06

    Looking for a blue preferably but open to others that become available. E250 adapter plate would be nice but not necessary. Cosmetically should be nice, don't care about any additional brake lights. Cheers wmw at telus dot net
