    Be one with your brakes

    A verry true statment, braking in general is easy but when things go wrong you need to stop yourself from just grabbing a fist full of front brake and digging your right foot into the pavement, you need to adjust for conditions and wheel slip, its not easy.

    Be one with your brakes

    I only posted this because no one else has posted hear yet, but any ways to make it a actual topic i find a good riding technique is a ballanced braking of the rear and front brake, and the only reason i say this is i know a fue people that eather use just the front or rear brake almost all of...

    Always ben told never rev a cold motor but as long as you baby it untill the temp comes up you should be good, most people back in the day had to wate for the motor to heat up cuz it would stall out and you had to run it on choke because of the carburator but with the fuel injection its easy to...

    Keeping clean

    Turtlewax ice works good it can be used in direct sun light and on any serface so even if your say trying to clean a bug of the fender and the plastics were hot frome the sun it still will work and also i recomend a micro fiber cloth, any thing else might scrach the paint and plastics

I know it sounds strange but I had a atv that did this and as you started it with the cluch in it would lung forward a bit till it started...
