winterize

Thanks for the info...I am currently running Amsoil 10/40 full synth, for winterizing can I just throw some inexpensive dino oil in there until spring then drain it and change the filter, refil with Amsoil at the start of riding season?

levers

I know that the CRG levers have the notching on the back so that they shear..I was just looking for some really trick levers that no one else has, or at least are different from the CRG/Pazzo sets. Thank you for the response!!

Rossi's brake/clutch levers - anyone seen these available??

Im looking for the super trick machined out levers that Rossi's M1 has. Has anyone seen anything available other than the CRG's and Pazzo's??

Thanks,

Ill throw my .02 on this topic as Ive had both setups on the 88 FZR1k. The hyd. clutch was easier to operate, but the CNC jewel that is the Attack Mechanical Clutch conversion is about the coolest looking thing ever.

Although my left hand gets mighty tired after a day of stop and go traffic. :D

Re: oil running down kick stand . . .

A little gem I just noticed and have to change out is the nuetral sensor and the little o ring that goes behind it. Looks like oil is coming around the shift linkage. but its coming down from that white plastic sender unit. You might want to check that as well.<br><br>Good Luck,<br><br>Matt <p>"...a...
