I'm with you on the tank pad and knee grippers (I'd go for stomp though) My no 1 is going down a tooth or two on the front sprocket. Manufacturers over gear bikes to get through noise and emissions. Dropping a tooth at the front will make the bike feel more powerful. My no 2 would be HH sintered pads. Both mods under £50 that transform a bike.

Another 'Mod' for less than £50 that I'd recommend is crash bungs. For something designed to get damaged (by way of saving the bike from getting damaged) there's no point spending 100's on a pair. I think crash bungs should be a top priority mod for any bike.

Each 2 there own, was impressed with Oxford grips, just connect to the battery and clever controller goes into standby mode at petrol stations when the engine get switched off. Start engine again and they automatically switch on. Works a treat and do they get very warm too, best bit is they are thicker too making for comfortable grip just connect to the battery.

I used to buy non-branded tank pads and stick them upside down on the tank so the wider part of the sticker is the lowest. Personally I think that's how they should work.

I disagree with the levers. I bought an SV650 which already had aftermarket cheapo chinese levers. After getting it back on the road, they didnt disengage the clutch correctly, the lever had to be UNDER the hand grip to fully disengage the clutch. There's a reason why levers come as stock, or dealers have suggested levers such as ASV.
@TheMissendenFlyer

Well I'm sure if you go cheapo cheapo there are some bum levers out there, all I can say is I have found the cheap ones I have to be just as good as the originals and look much better - when you can pay upwards of £100 for pretty much the same thing from the premium brands (or bike manufacturers themselves) I can't help think I'm being ripped off somewhere!

I personally wouldn't recommend the cheaper levers. After using ASV levers and cheap Chinese levers, the difference is night and day. Sure the asv are expensive but worth it. I've had cheap levers now that haven't fitted properly, one seriously affected by braking which scared me silly, and the other wasn't disengaging the clutch properly and wore it out prematurely. I now stay well away from them.

Coincidently, I've just had an email from Monimoto about bikes being nicked. According to them, Greater London, the South East, and the North East are the areas reported to have the highest number of motorcycle thefts.

@@TheMissendenFlyer Yep, it's bad everywhere, especially in big cities. The best thing you can do, is to make it harder for a thief. Use two locks, one with an alarm, and a tracker. I've just bought the Litelok on your recommendation, and I really like it. I like the way you can wear it like a belt, and it's also thin, you can thread it through your frame. Also, I'm looking at the Pragmasis RoundLock, according to Bennetts it's one of the toughest disc locks they've tested, and it's very small. I will probably fit an alarm/immobiliser as well, as the RoundLock doesn't have an alarm. One of the best things you can do, is to put a cheap cover over your bike, and then put a lock though the wheel holes. It comes in handy for say in a big city. If thieves can't see the bike, then they usually move on to the next one. Of course, if they know you have a certain bike, and they know where you park, then a cover isn't going to help much.

When you ride your CRF250L do you find yourself pressing the horn button when you think you are operating the indicator switch. Honda should be forced to recall all their newer bikes and have 'proper' switch gear fitted. Hey Ho.

So many KZitemrs decide to put the same catchphrases and sentances intro'ing their videos. "Hey Kids", "Stick around and stay tuned for the next few minutes"....Missenden I always skip 30-40 seconds into your videos these days :D

I'd be very wary of brake levers that are so cheap. There were a few stories on forums a good few years ago regarding cheap levers bought off eBay and them failing under hard braking. Hopefully manufacturing quality has improved since.
