Feature: The Bike

The Bike - My Favourite Mods
the_bike_600.jpg
   1. Seat bump: great for when your seats wet & muddy or simply locking you in position when hard on the gas, simply made by cutting in half a section of a Renthal bar-pad & gluing to the seat foam in the desired position.

2. DEP exhaust system: improves bottom to midrange power & increases torque and the added bonus of being 1/2 a kilo lighter than the standard system. 

3. Mousse Tubes: eliminates the possibility of a flat tyre, easier to change than tubes once you know how.

4. GYTR clutch system: The clutch is bulletproof & has increased oil flow over standard keeping clutch temperatures down, great if your hard on the clutch in the tight stuff like me.
   GYTR flywheel weight: The flywheel weight makes the bike easier to start, decreases the chance of stalling at low speeds, improves traction & generally makes the bike easier to ride, why wouldn't you want one!! 

5. Brake Snake: simply a piece of safety wire running from the brake pedal to the frame, reduces the chance of you brake lever getting bent around should it get snagged on a branch or rock etc. 

6. Oversize front disk: improves braking power & feel, reduces brake fade though cooler temps.

7. Suspension: Heavier fork springs to cope with the weight of the larger tank, revalving performed front & rear courtesy of Nathan Sargent from Sargent Motorcycles, setup fairly firm to allow me to hit obstacles hard yet still be fairly plush on the small stuff.

8. After-market clutch perch: unbreakable lever, larger on the fly free-play adjuster, easier clutch pull.


9. Soft grips & grip donuts: means I don't have to tape my hands for long races.


10. Steering Dampener: One of my favourite mods, saves your butt when you hit that object flat out you never realized was there.
