Slipper clutch or termi´s
I've just bought a 999 with a slipper clutch which I'm thinking of selling to fund a set of termi´s...
What would you do?

I must admit I didn't think it was worth keeping but I'm starting to love it!
But, I use the 999 to commute on and the audio level would be a good safety feature!

If you're a road rider:

* Sell the slipper, learn to blip the throttle on downchanges, buy the Termis

If you do track days:

* Keep the slipper and the lower noise limit

term's for the road, but I would try to get/keep both but if not term's,
they transform the engine, well worth it.

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm keep the slipper mine was fantastic going around the highlands this weekend.

Brought a big smile to my face watching my mates K1200s squirming when I slipped past him to take the lead.
