I've never checked the points Joel. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think the '92 model has points. I was thinking this through some more though- How are...

It looks like the ONLY way to get the airbox out it by removing the rear tire or the engine. I just don't see any other way. It wont fit out the sides. I've...
The manual says to remove the rear tire and starter and turn signal relays though the manual doesn't say it comes out to the rear it probably does. Malcolm 84...
