    Lighten clutch handle pull on 1200 Sport 2V?

    Guys, what's the easiest way to decrease pulling force required on a clutch lever on a 12S 2V? Any successful experience? Standard clutch operation force is annoying in a heavy traffic. Thanks a lot! Alex

    Exhaust sound gets quiet on the way. Valves too tight?

    1200 sport 2V with Mistral silencer. In the middle of the road, suddenly, the exhaust sound almost disappears, gets very silent. The ride feels smooth. Usually happens on hot days, irregularly. Can it be because of too tight valve clearance and exhaust valves not closing properly, so...

    Dears, strange Gremlin lives in my bike since some weeks. I run Mistral carbon can on a rather stock 12S (stepper manually plugged, no schnorkel). This season I started de-baffled and on some day my exhaust sound disappeared almost completely. I rode as usual, and suddenly the sound got so...

    12S exhaust pipe optical mod :)

    yesterday I happily achieved a nice visual effect on my stock 1200 Sport exhaust pipes, more on the more loaded RH one, a bit less on the cooler LH :) in case of doubts: yes, it is 100% heat-resulting, not painted or chemicalized. not it looks more like 1200 SPORT, not a 1200 Sport :)

    Guys, hi how much oil do you manage to get drained from the engine during the oil change on a 12S 2V?

    a nice upgrade to the mistral can

    Hi All, wanted to share an idea with you. My 1200 sport has a mistral carbon can on it. First 1000 km I used it unbaffled (I know, not very social), but came to a conclusion I do not enjoy the loudness, which made me feel sorry for it and this sorry feeling did take a part of joy while riding...

    after getting a first wobble/slapper on the exit from 1-st gear turn seriously considered a damper, before was brought to the idea that with a damper it is much more likely to catch a low side in case of rear wheel power-slide, which I do actually get more often than a wobble. any ideas from...
