Haha. I've found that cajones grow until about 18-20 years old, then steadily shrink as experience teaches us that shit can go wrong and we have families to worry about. Then they swell up quickly at 60-70 when, like all good retired americans, you don't give a shit anymore (see DP). I am > 20 and < 60, therefore mine are shrinking. No power slides for me until 60.

How? Just transfer all the weight forward under heavy braking and start the turn in at the same time?
The trick is (not really a trick) to get hard on the front brake and get the rear wheel rotating slower than the front. If you bang down a few more gears than usual, it'll get the rear to skip. You can practice that in a straight line to get the feel before attempting it through a turn. We could talk about this in 'extreme practice' and I'm sure someone has better input than I.

Damn you.
Bringing up really good memories of how awesome mid-size 2-strokes are.
Memories?!! Mid-size?!! Hell, at 41 years old, I've made a habit of riding a 2T at least once a month. And often at a whopping 65cc's... If it strokes twice and smokes, a good time is sure to follow. Everybody should have at least one in their stable!

Replaced my leaking slave cylinder with a sweet orange Oberon unit.
For reference, the bleed technique is as follows-
Pump the clutch 6-7 times and hold, crack the bleeder open and repeat. Don't let the fluid level drop so far it sucks in air.
Had a solid clutch in about 60 seconds using the ATF 1.21gw brought me when I needed something to get me hone from wva.

I hope so, there weren't really any other options.
I guess they have a better seal design than KTM. Time will tell. The OEM one lasted 22,000 miles.

It should last as long, but I believe they sell gasket kits for them.
