12/23/2017 12:55pm Well I have jumped ship ! I really did like the new honda but I had a gearbox go at 30 hrs Jumped on a 2nd fresh one and put 15 on it but now gone . What I learnt in my time .... The 17 without the battery is so much easier to put the air filter in and...

11/10/2017 7:04pm Did you do your research before that comment? The 18 is more smoother and broader this year which Means it will be easier to ride . The tuning scope on this bike is great so you can mellow it down as much as you like to suit. Imo apart from the weight advantage and the brakes ,clutch and nice items...

9/30/2017 9:43pm I have never rated pro taper bars . Seen a few snp years ago . Renthal has always been my go to but now I have for the fist time snaped a fat bar at its smallest diameter thou , just past the clutch perch. Twinwall on the way.

9/30/2017 12:56pm An old thread but I just snaped a very low hour Renthal fat bar . Not a high speed crash just a nasty little high side. I'm going back to the twinwall . I agree they don't offer the best comfort but I have never busted them.

8/25/2017 12:10pm I found a new dampner off a 16 , want to run it for same reasons as you . Bit of head shake on fast downhills at one of the tracks I race. I'm picking I would have got it more at others in summer hard pack areas . I ride a lot of sand but have a race coming...

8/24/2017 7:51pm I was not trying to take the piss , just saying we all sometimes just tinker to much when we need to spend the time perfecting our skillset. I play with my setup as much as the next guy but once I am comfy I just race the dam thing, we often just over think to much when we just...

8/23/2017 9:34pm Are you a national level rider or as good as Chad reed thinks he is at testing ? Your not going to notice , and if you do chances are it's in your imagination. @ the ripe age of 45 I've come to the realisation that I spent to much money and time playing And messing with my bikes. My...

7/21/2017 2:03pm I'd get the 18 it's been refined in the right places. I'm 70kg ,vet expert 45 years I'm fine with the stock 17 springs but your still better off with 18s as you will be riding higher in the stroke and gives you more comp leway. Even at 70 kg it's riding low in the stroke. E/s would be nice...

7/21/2017 1:30pm Make sure your taking your free play out of it some when bikes hot or you will be pulling lever in halfway before it's even disengaging making stalling an issure. You MUST make sure you add free play back in when bikes cold thou again or you will fry it prematurely.
