Hiya Folks... Just been reading a post in F650 Sinlge area about clutch and setting it up based on your position and it got me thinking... How many of us have actually ever set our bikes up... AND... for those who have not what are the things that need to be looked at... Personally, only...

I know I am likley to get somewhat biased thoughts on the F650 forum, but I am going to replace my F650ST in the new year and I am keen on getting a brand new bike. I have had my eye on a F650GS for some months but have recently seen The new Yamaha MT-03 ( powered by the XT660 single) and the...
