Crash, boom, bang...

Ever noticed that you tend to crash when you are doing something silly? I had finished delivering my mail today and was off to a shady spot for a bit of a rest before I went back to the delivery centre. There is a nice bit of new hotmix bitumen to play with on the way so I was working on grinding of...

I pulled all the PAIR crap off my Bandit and it made no noticeable difference to performance. This is everything that came off: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v392/mintbread1/P6022081.jpg With the airbox still in place there is no need to touch the crankcase breather as it runs through the airbox...
