Sorry Kato that was only intended as a light hearted ribbing-trust me m8 we've 'all been there'-I had an old 1985 vauxhall cavalier-with a boot spoiler :blush:

im not even gonna begin telling you how annoying it is to try and fit a k&n filter to the xvs 125! its just easier not to :rolleyes: as to "down gearing" what are you looking for? more acceleration? drop a tooth or 2 on the front sprocket (but your top speed will drop ) but saying that....the bike should pull a bit better in 5th
