  1. I would do a little research on the BT021. Reports have shown probs with the BT021 front (The rear seems to be OK). Apparently the front wears in 'steps' between the different compounds and can cause some funky handling issues. Also, the front seems to wear before the rear.

  2. No, storing mags with compressed springs does not. This is a common myth. Spring steel is affected by compression and decompression (loading and unloading).

    S&W has very good customer service. Give them a call. If they can't help over the phone they will fix if for free (unless you caused some damage).

  3. $8k for a 650 twin with Ohlins isn't too bad. I'll bet it would be a handy tool for class racing & corner carving. But they do need to get an updated FI system.

    Edit:

    not really clear, but maybe it has FI.

  4. When I bought my 919 it had a brand new DQ on the rear. I've never had tire slip so much in my life. It consistently broke loose under 'moderate' braking. I even swapped out the rear shock to make sure it wasn't a suspension issue. I'll never ride a DQ again.

    I equate Dunlop tires to Fram filters. Available everywhere even though the performance is a step below most others.
