Troll spotted.


Anywho, was more interested in seeing the difference than the warnings, although I appreciate the concern. Does anyone have a link to the video?

I know, that was mean. I'm so ashamed.

i like it when the rear slide a bit when i make a sharper-than-normal turn so i usually turn mine off. The throttle response does seem a little better (not significant) when it is off.

the only time i turn it on is when it is raining
