    Unsafer than having your bike turn off while down shifting before a turn? 😎 Time for research, will post what I found.

    Will try that next. Can the sensor be just disconnected / eliminated?

    Thanks for the info on the batteries. Less weight and more space sounds like a win-win!

    Great work, thanks for the information! I bought the bike without the rear fender, and will eliminate the passenger pegs and peg delete kit this weekend (plus install the Leo Vince slip on muffler). Good to know that will light the bike a little. Impressed on the weight difference of the...
