I think thats right, take care of them.
I pulled the front wheel a couple times to see what kind of power I had when I got the bike at 3,000 miles.
This also allows me to know how hard the motor hits when I crack the throttle open hard in a corner, now I know, now I dont try to wheelie anymore.
I think we should ride them hard but like the factory intended.
Wheelies and burnouts cost money and extreme wear on the bike. I watch riders around Atlanta wheelie and stoppie all day every weekend, if they've got the money, let them wreck them, but not me. (watch what you buy in the local trader)
I also dont bury my $9000 atv over the seat in water and mud either for the same reason, it costs too much. I dont burn the wheels off my 94 corevette convertible, those tires are $260 each, or my hemi pickup with $150 tires each.
But I do WANT the power to pull the front end on my bike when and if I ever want to!
