    Learning curve

    Did champs like Rossi, the Haydens, start with superbikes/gp bikes? Did Michael Schumacker learn to race in an F1 car? Did jeff gordon, tony stewart, etc start out driving cup cars? No. Why is that?

    Learning curve

    There are only 2 kinds of riders, ones who have crashed and ones who will crash. But you missed the point I was trying to make. Oh well, I suck-at-da-english. And WTF does bench pressing xxx lbs have to do with riding a motorcycle?

    Correct Tire Pressure

    rebuild or replace engine?

    Motor knock from oil starvation usually results in crank/rod bearing damage. So keep that in mind. The oil light should have come on before major damage happened. So, besides a top end, you will need to do something with the bottom end too. I would completely tear it down before you order...

    To soak or not to soak

    Same idea as seating in brakes. Letting the surfaces wear/seat together before you go hammering on it.
