I was told the 27mm kit would give the clutch a faster action over stock. Apparently something good riders may need for the big stuff with little run...
Personally I think any time spent on the bike is worth it. As a kid I was always instructed to balance on the bike at least 5 minutes before starting it
for a warm up and then again 5 minutes after the practice session. I think the bike running gives one the option to cheat by releasing the clutch
when balance is lost. Like posted earlier hard tires and no engine should only benifit your training.
Repacking the silencer on the Techno I usually us the rolled sheet style packing. I simply wrap it around the pipe and then wire it to hold it into place.
I have found that more is not better so do not overpack. I then use a scredriver to push the packing into the end cabs.
o-rings on the silencer I have used a "light coat" of form a gasket. Seems to work however must be cleaned off and replaced each time the silencer is pulled.
I have polished the silencer on a Techno and also a Rev. I wet sanded up to 1500 - 2000 grit than used polish to bring it to a nice shine.
This takes time, I am sure I spent about 30min a night for a week to get a nice finish.
It looks nice and I have had many positive comments in the past. The only negative is it requires a quick polish and buff every now and than to keep the
