This bag is designed for a custom fit over the airbox cover and is compatible with the airbox cover guard on the CityX XB9SX model. The rigid body and lid maintain the bags shape, empty or full, and the polyester construction is UV and weather resistant. The bag expands up to four inches for additional capacity, and has a see-through map holder, waterproof zippers, reflective trim, a rain cover and a removable storage pocket. The mounting system offers easy on-and-off action. A Good Rep Repsol's new Moto Racing 4T oil is a fully synthetic lubricant specially formulated for use in four-stroke motorcycle engines. Repsol says that Moto Racing 4T will perform in the most demanding conditions, such as high-competition racing, both on and off-road. The oil has been developed in collaboration with Repsol's race program and has a wide range of viscosity for both winter and summer use. Repsol also produces a semi-synthetic oil called Moto Synthetic 4T 10W40.

First off, a rubber-edge shield provides 20 percent more protection than the original Stealth. Also, the new bracket plate allows the hand- guards to be installed above or below the levers and move independently of the handlebars. Alloy brackets and replacement shields can also be purchased separately. Available in red, blue, green, yellow, orange, black, and white with black-rubber edge. CYCRA STEALTH DX $54.95 171 O'Niell Drive Hebron, Ohio 43025 800/770-2259 www.cycraracing.com Super Clutch The Controlled Engine Breaking (CEB) System from STM, a.k.a. the "Slipper Clutch," eliminates the poor handling and traction characteristics of a four-stroke machine upon deceleration. Used by many top factory riders, the STM Slipper clutch lets the engine coast more freely when the throttle is chopped, reducing engine braking and unloading the suspension. This allows the rider and machine to roll through braking bumps and corners without engine drag, thus providing greater traction and improved handling. FMF also says it will improve cornering speed, help prevent engine stalling and will create "neutral" jumping characteristics by decreasing rear-wheel inertia.
