    I think its optional extra weight to keep the front from lifting during acceleration .... :neo:

    Actually I expected it to be a bolt from the fuel cap assembly (as the PO said he had replaced it ) when I heard the rattle ..... but going on that , Id say its the latch or something similar.


    And the airbox .... so EASY to get off and on compared to the poxy FZR setup.

    And thats all I have to say ......:dance2:

    they don't get too hot - currently riding my mates 250 hyo 2010 efi (AKA "Death Trap") to work in heavy traffic.
    replaced his front rocker cover and did his forks, machined his rotors.. now i have a very long list of "issues" that need to be addressed before sale :/ including "FI" issues along with mangled steering head bearings and a savage rattle from his engines bottom end.... - did i mention this bike has 24,000km's on the clock??

    but yeah heat is no issue with these two wheeled creatures. BTW he only wants $1500

    I havnt ridden it in anger as yet .... but I would think it would have to run pretty 'cool' with that rather large oil cooler slung across the front.
