Thanks Allen. The rears don't bounce. I will do the other tests too! I was just wondering because there is quite a difference on the ST. I realized it is a smaller bike and will not be the same. I see all the discussions on shocks and was wondering. That must be why guys upgrade. Ron

My 750 NH got off weight on me in the driveway the other day and I dumped it. Only real evidence of the fall is the left handlebar grip got scuffed. No big deal, but I bought an OEM replacement. The old one is on there tight, as it should be. Can I get it off without cutting it off? How will I

You will likely have to cut the Oem grip off, as I imagine there it's copious grip cement holding it on. You will want to buy more, I used the Hondabond since my dealer sells it really cheap. I have heard that a heat gun can allow you to remove cemented grips, but I haven't tried that yet. Kurt

Kurt, Depending on the riding you do and how heavy wristed you are - you might find your mileage will go down with the 250. I noticed a similar drop in mileage when I went from an overpowered car to an underpowered car - should have gotten better, but I was working the accelerator harder
