If you want a bike thats going to go bang after 3 thousand miles then go ahead.

Have you seen the crap that comes out with the oil after the first couple of oil changes on a new motor? Shocked I wouldnt want that circulating my expensive, precision built engine at 14000 rpm

to be fair a lot of what he says makes sense. However i suspect they dont put it in manuals as it could go tits up.
