    1) Engine protector bars on Suzuki Bandit 600s are there to prevent the
    engine being damaged should the bike fall over on its side. They are not
    there to be used as stabilisers or lean angle meters on corners once the
    footrest is at a 45 deg angle to normal.

    2) When practising stoppies, do not attempt them on silky smooth shiny
    black tarmac that has been laid in the last 2 weeks. The front will lock
    up when the rear end is up in the air and you may fall off if you try it
    again.

    This is going to end in tears, isn't it?

  5. In uk.rec.motorcycles, Lozzo belched forth and ejected the following:
    They can be used for that but the EBs will eventually become so weakened
    that when it does bin, it'll cause the EBs to fail and send the bar
    through the pulse generator cover and oil pressure switch.
    It is possible to stoppie that bike with 15kg in the top-box.
    If you don't do it properly, yes, quite possibly.
