Re: Exhaust studs...

next time..... before you snap that stud... try using a nut splitter first.
easy to use, easy to buy and best of all... cheap!
used them on my bike no prob, 10 minute job, coz the nuts are made of soft metal they split really easy!!!

Re: Front fork internals: How to remove this part??

they should readily pull off after removing the bolt, but be very careful as they break quite easy, dont try to use anything with teeth ie pliers , as these will mark them and bugger em up. afraid its a case of pulling the offending item.try wrapping a rag around your hand and then twisting and pull...

Re: Radical difference in fuel consumption with exhausts

freer flowing pipes, no matter weather noisier or not , means more fuel use, i.e. less m.p.g.
