Quit jiggling each others dicks and address the topic of the thread.

I have one.

Are wave/petal/funny shaped rotors really superior to the traditional round brake rotors? Will the fad of unny shaped rotors ever pass?

this isn't really that technical
but i've never removed my tank before
is there a way to remove it without taking all the gas out of it first
ie. when i disconnect the fuel hose joint with gas in the tank will it spew all out.

(btw, i'm doing this cause i want to reach the coolant reservoir to top up some coolant. let me know if i'm doing the wrong thing by removing the tank)

Why do speedometers on cars go higher than 100mph?

There is no speed limit 100mph ANYWHERE

If your really bored and have some time... You could name off all the parts that make up your engine from the air box down to the oil pan(I gave you those two for free). No cheating.

That would be fun. Bonus points for Kawasaki part numbers. And include the turbo

I think we're all aware of the marketable reasons funny shaped rotors are "better", but i was looking for something more in depth, possibly even some evidence that funny shaped rotors do little to dissipate heat over slotted round rotors. I have theories but i wanted to hear from Tough Guy as well.

The gas wont come out. You will lose a tinyyyy tiny bit when you undo the line
