never bought a new bike from the dealer, i just kinda assumed when you spend 8-11k on a new bike, it came with it
 i got one for my bike, it covers every nut bolt and wire, but i think its labeled owners manual. either way u got 1 already is your brake fluid dirty? how bout some new plugs?

Gas. The single best thing you could ever buy for your bike is gas.

If you want to mod, wait... save... mod right. Until then, gas up and ride it. Have a good stock of cleaning / maintenance items (chain clean, lube, fluids, etc..) I'm always so confused by everyone's want for frame sliders. But then, I ride a bike that one would have to drill through the bodywork in order to put said frame sliders on. That, and I've seen them do more harm than good. The only ones I'd consider are the small mushroomed FRAME sliders that reside under the bodywork.

the reason is most damage comes from drops... not high speed slides... frame sliders help protect the body work and frame in low speed and parkinglot drops... they help in the higher speed but most I've seen they don't do much other than help keep the frame from being scratched.
I have to drill through the body on my bike to... and I'm going to... I've gotta replace the fairings on both sides already. the right side was broken when I had a flat and tried repairing it... and it fell over... had I had frame sliders there, I'd have saved $350 on a new set of rear sets, $150 on new levers, and $250 on the right side fairing. I also scratched up my exhaust (stock one). all that would have been elmininated if my $150 sliders had come in on time... or I had been smart enough to not chance that tire leaving |
