Training Wheels
I bought a Concours 14 ABS last year and what a bike! I love it!!! I'm a convert from the cruiser world. I've read some threads here and have some general tech. questions I'm sure someone can answer. Right now, my bike is stock. Nothing has been changed on it. I've read a lot about Kawasaki's MotoGP racing bikes and all of the parts they use. So here are my questions... What is the advantage of changing from the factory exhaust to an Akropovic (or any other high end brand) exhaust? What is the advantage of changing from the factory spark plugs to NGK Iridium spark plugs? What is the advantage of changing from the factory oil to Elf synthetic oil? What is the advantage of changing from the Bridgestone tires to the PR2s? I know these are simple questions, but I just don't know the answer and I've been reading my eyes out lately trying to understand motorcycle technology. By the way, I'd love to learn how to work on my bike, if anyone has any suggestions. Thanks!
