    Clutch lever!

    Ya so I'm not trying to spend 30 bucks plus shipping... I was kind of hoping someone who swapped out for some pazzo levers wouldn't mind selling their old one. All I really need is the lever itself. The end of mine broke off leaving me with a somewhat sharp edge to shift with...

    91 91 all the way. well my understanding of octane ratings is 91 burns hotter and cleaner. im not so worried about my bike since i can always get the injectors cleaned or what ever... my reasoning is with burning, burn more of the fuel thus releasing less hydro carbons into the atmosphere...

    ticking sound from engine? what weight oil? Problem?

    im worried about this one too. i know when cars tick its really bad cuz its the pistons hitting the valves. but if you all say that yami-tick tech is the way to go then ill beleive you. the ticking is noticable whenever the bike is on, cold warm hot dont matter.
