Greetings:

Lots of speed changes, on/off throttle a lot? 1.5K.
More steady-state part-throttle cruising? +1K.

Its natural traffic don't worry. They say even kidnap victims start to feel for their capturers after a few years, which from the outside looking in seems crazy but people naturally gravitate to eachother over time.

I also find his snide comments hilarious and now am thuroughly entertained by them.

Clutches are just like variators, user preference is the only real factor.

My mistake it is 65cc. I went 1k center. Thinking about going back to stock. Or .5k but I don't think anyone makes that.
