Gearbox problem, start from the left or right?

[Timmay]

the procedure to remove that nut appears to be

1. adjust rear brake until firmly locked
2. Apply Koken 1/2inch T bar with 1/2m extensions on each arm making a 1m T bar
3. Swear a lot as muscles are tested
4. Nut comes loose and knuckles are injured

And the inferiority relates to...?

As far as I can tell from 7.3 seconds of extensive innuhneh research, the 'X' engine makes MOAR POWAH.

While it almost inevitably implies additional complexity and/or fragility, is not MOAR POWAH a good thing?

(offtopic, only doing a search to topics relating to stators -- of which my `superior' CB250RS has shat)

Moar power -- but porky. More complicated. The appeal of the CB250RS is light weight, simple, cheap, bare-bones. Start adding DOHC, electric starter, heavy frame, all that carry on, and you start getting into `proper bike' territory. Which negates much of what was so appealing and unique about the CB250RS (`pushbike with a motor').

The CB250RS came out, sold thousands upon thousands. Cheap to buy, economical, fun. The CBX250RS was a classic Honda response -- `that sold well, let's make it better!' The CBX cost way more, missed the target market, and flopped.
