Talks about rc51.org, and even speaks of Sato being the shizzle. He has over 4K and still is on his stock D208's...mine lasted like 3.5K. He has a Ohlins shock, revalved fork, Sato low mount titanium, Kyle link, PCIIIUSB, Sato rearsets, Sato Side stand.

He talks about changing the plugs every 4K, and the brake fluid about the same...I guess he is adding HRC pads next. I will like following this one.

That was a cool little article. Look forward to the followup and see what tires he tested out since he said he was retiring the 208's.

Oh and I have 5k on my 207's

I am working on killing them but they dont want to die

Re: Page 146 of Motorcyclist (OCT05)

am I missing something because the 05 Jan issue isn't even out so did they skip to Oct already? My Oct 04 issue has a small piece on page 90 about the RC51 but no mention of rc51.org in there and the only mention of the tire is in talking about the DK shock link, nothing on what kind of Dunlop it is or mileage.

Re: Page 146 of Motorcyclist (OCT05)
Hm.. what is the latest edition.. (looking around for it). Check November 04 (not October 05) on pg. 146.

Speaking of which.. did you see the size of that ICON ad?? Man.. those guys must have tossed some SERIOUS coin down. I think that's the largest ad spread I've ever seen!!!!

I haven't got Nov yet but it could be on the newstand already cause subscription always gets there a little later.

did you know Icon does all their ads in house. I don't think I've seen a bad Icon ad yet so they have some good people over there. The best one was the guy sitting on the curb holding his head and the Suzuki on its side. The guy doing the burnout with the flame gloves was good too
