    Why are you selling? How did it perform? Is this a "comfort" or "sport performance" version?

    Now you've got me curious. Do you mean the clutch release rod that is down in the main clutch itself? No bearing on the end of that. There is a rod from the clutch lever pivot that pushes the...

    Agree with ulflyer -- the shear down is not a given. On my 1330, the Amsoil oil I tested at 4500 miles was 13.2 viscosity, still well within the 40-range of 12.6 - 16.3. I'd be really surprised if...

    Any results on your clutch and brake issues? As an SM-6 owner, I'm interested in your clutch leak. I had the pivot pins in the lever freeze up in just a few thousand miles. The whole M/C and lever...

    I envy you your high mileage figures on the 1330. On our 2011 998 RT we got 30.5 mpg average for 40K miles. So 150 miles for a 5-gallon fill-up was a comfortable range for us. On the 2014 RT, over...
