Much as I love buying new bits for my bike.... I wonder how much of the "smooth" clutch operation was due to maintenance of the clutch lever and...
What a happy outcome! I have recently chucked an Ohlins into the back of my VTR and there is a certain plush controlled Swedishness that is very...
Pages 5-54 and 5-55 are what you need. Dude's summation is on the money. The four starter valve hoses just get parked onto stubs on either side...
