How to get the best possible gas mileage | Clutch Master Cylinder

Then I just loosened the nipple and pumped the pedal while keeping the fluid level in the reservoir from dropping too low. Once all the air came out of the system, I tightened the slave cylinder nipple back up, and I was all set.

Harley-Davidson is recalling nearly 178,000 motorcycles in the U.S. due to the risk that they might get stuck in gear thanks to a potential defect within the clutch.

There are a lot of internet experts, pit pundits and “the world is flat” advocates who claim that weight doesn’t matter. Not a day passes that some Honda rider doesn’t claim that his CRF450 doesn’t feel heavy—and some that claim that heavier bikes handle better than light ones. Hogwash! When a two-wheeled vehicle is balanced on two wheels, it does feel light, until you lean it off center, lift one of the wheels off the ground or try to pick it up, then the tipping-point sensation of lightness disappears. When a 238-pound CRF450 lands from a jump, the tires, rims, spokes, fork springs and frame know how much it really weighs. 

This was my question originally submitted to Sajeev and I have learned a lot from the mostly thoughtful comments.

(5/tie) Suzuki RM-Z450 and Honda CRF450. Suzuki has no history of good clutches to fall back on. The Suzuki clutch has always crept on the starting line, slipped if you used it too hard and gone through plates like a bad juggler. If you use your clutch, you will use up an RM-Z450 clutch in short order. As for Honda, it once had the best clutches in motocross, but its last good clutch was made over a decade ago. We spent four years with the horrid four-spring clutch from 2009 to 2012. That has been followed by seven years of weak, judder-spring-equipped, slipping clutches that only work if you never pull them in. A powerful engine like the CRF450 is in dire need of a strong clutch to support it.

We spent two days in the Algarve region of Portugal, romping around the Wim Motors Academy off-road compound, taking to trails in the lush farmlands, and hitting the canyons to put the Hinckley factory’s lofty claims to the test.

Driving assist features take the responsibility of developing your own safe driving disciplines away from you and place that responsibility with a corporate entity. If you want your safety to be the responsibility of corporation (insert vehicle manufacturer here), you are welcome to buy their products. However, if you want the very best of warning systems for MY vehicle, then you should pay for those as well.

As i said below in other posts, passive systems like abs are good. They don’t take control from the driver, just control the input or hold the driver in place (belts, airbags). But these systems designed to suddenly take control or start adding their own inputs are contradictory to having attentive drivers in control of their vehicles. Train people how to drive, and hold them to it. Don’t add these systems to make up for distracted and poor driving. Driving isn’t a difficult task. Most people can handle it if they’re prepared and focused.

I don’t think anyone hates ABS or traction control, stability control or whatever. As others have mentioned, even good and attentive drivers make errors in judgement and its nice to have the system in the background. Just give me the ability to turn off (or turn down) the system. Except ABS. As anyone who’s dealt with FWD and traction control in the snow, sometimes the system is a hindrance.

With the tank in place and new supply and return lines routed forward, the FiTech crew then began the disassembly process, removing the single four-barrel intake manifold and all the remaining gasket material from the heads and surrounding walls.

The GM rep suggested that I not use the truck off road or on bumpy dirt roads. I brought up the fact that this is a ZR2, arguably GM’s most off-road worthy vehicle, and the rep suggested again that I not use the truck in situations that the truck might interpret as a rollover.
