    DCT Load Compensation?

    Does anyone know whether the DCT version compensates for engine load, as in riding uphill? On my previous bike, this became a shifting skill set for the rider. I'm wondering if the DCT senses a load increase and "compensates" with different fuel mix or shift points. I'm guessing it does not...

    Speed Bleeders

    Does anyone know the size or a part number for Speed Bleeders for the CTX700D? I flushed the brake fluid on my CBR250RA today, and my Mighty-Vac sort of came apart and made a very small mess. The CTX is a little more involved to flush and bleed, so I want to go ahead and get speed bleeders...

    Final drive crush washer size?

    what is the size of the sealing washer on the final drive drain plug? At the suggestion of an ST-riding friend I am going to change the final drive oil at same interval as engine oil (unless it still looks clean when I drain it this time).

    Valve inspection

    First off, I searched but did not find and how-to's related to this question. Most forums have folks that have video's or how-to's with images for the valve job. Now I know that the majority on here may not have hit the 16K interval for this job but curious to see who does and posts the how-to.
