hm
Two things will help.
Put some plumber's teflon tape on the bleeder and give it a good final bleed. Then tie the lever against the bar tightly. I use a zip tie(as we call it in canada)
Keep the lever pulled in overnight. This will firm up your brakes.

Clutch problem
Hey Guys, I have an issue I think. I'm not actually sure, which is why it is an issue. I installed a new front sprocket this weekend. The problem is that when I pulled the sprocket cover, the muck made the clutch acuating rod pull out. It didn't pull all the way out, but about 3/4 way out. When I we...

There is no judgement... they will string you up on the side of the road right then and there.

2500rpm raw spot
All,
I have a 98 and I've got a real bad miss or something at 2500rpm.
I have not changed anything in a while and it just developed recently.
I have a set of D&Ds, stock filter and jetting. 40,000kms.
Any ideas? It goes away and runs like a champ after 3000-3500.
Jason.

Some blokes drain carbs, fog the engine, but this is only 4 to 6 months, so I d...

quiet
I have an RF800. I love it. Nice and quiet. Too bad the VTR and D&D isn't
there are tradeoffs to quiet helmets:
1. Less venting because by nature the vents make noise
2. Thicker and heavier (usually fiberglass or heave carbon and kevlar laminates
3. Hotter (esp. in Texas)

MV/VTR
Hey Del, The big Q: How much? I'm pretty handy myself. Sounds like a good solution. I've been looking to do this for some time. How well does the seat fit? How much just for the tail section (bodywork) and seat? Let me know, you may be a good solution. PS: SharkSkinz makes an MV tail nowadays...kind...

Hey! Wait a minute!
Your or otherwise that bike has an MV tail section. Did you (or whomever) use the MV subframe?
Anyone have a lead on where I could source on of these? Not easy to come by in canada!

Why not D&D
Hey,
I've got D&D pipes made out of Ft Worth Texas, and I like them alot.
Might as well, only a few hundred miles away!
..and you don't need a full exhaust on the VTR. Won't make much of a diff. You can probably remove the restrictor out of the pipe if you want.
