Can someone tell me what the best way to add Ram Air to my 954? Ram Air is the same as Cold Air Induction right?

Re: The New R1
Hey guys, I just picked up a used 954, I hear that it needs a steering dampener, does it really need one?

Also, the tires are kind of shot, what kind should I buy?

Hey, would any of you guys come over and just ride my bike for me?




Edit: TB here is a new one for you....

Well, my first name is Peter and my last name is Richard, so that's about as close to Dick as you can get.

Re: The New R1
Have you guys seen the latest pic of the new RCB1000RR?
It's gonna suck, have less power and be heavier than the R1.
It will also need a damper, 'cause everything but the R1 need one, but here it is:

Not to hijack the thread, but what octane gas should I use?

How about motor oil - which one is best?

In a slightly different vein, do NOT go riding with dingy-looking tires. Use Armor-All or STP, and make sure you get ALL the visible rubber a nice, shiny black. Your ride will look SWEET!
