  1. No, it's not just that, but hey, put cheap Chinese parts on your bike and roll the dice. I don't roll the dice with safety. I absolutely laugh when people put their head in the sand and act like it can't happen to them.
  2. There have been enough horror stories (google "Chinese Levers Crash" and find out for yourself..) for me to determine that cheaping out on an item that interfaces the 200lb gorrila (me) with the brakes, is probably a stupid idea.

  4. You can actually use just water, and save yourself the sticky residue. Next time, try it before the cola method and see if it's as good.

    1990 ST1100

    The one bike I regret selling is a 98 ST1100 ABS II.
  6. ADR #1: A Staintune exhaust is required to be fitted at all times while the bike resides in AU ;) Apologies, haha.
  7. I personally think it has to due with the placement of the filter between the front header pipes, combined with K&N offshoring production and the quality dropping. Higher heat than most bikes + lower quality product = higher failure rate.
  8. I would avoid K&N, even though you've had good luck. Too many failures! Heck, one failed on a 6th gen here locally a week or so ago. I personally use OEM or Bosch 3300s

    1998 VFR800 FI w/ 8481mi

    My 1998 VFR800 FI w/ 8481mi It's all original aside from high-mount Staintune exhaust, and MOSFET R/R. I am currently not putting any miles on this bike.
