    What is "educated English"? How is it different from usual English?

    I am learning English as a second language. When I read an article, one of the English speakers wrote that you should use plain English instead of using different words and phrases. I understand his opinion. He also writes, however, that you should use educated English. I don't understand...

    1980 Honda CM400 Clutch cable adjustment?

    There is an adjustment up by the clutch lever, adjust it out if is too loose. If that is not enough, there should also be an adjuster at the end of the cable. Adjust that out also.

    Do i need a power commander for my 2007 suzuki sv1000s?

    No, it is not needed but recommended. If you do get one, you will need a custom tune done on a dyno. I had a slip on exhaust and a k&n air filter on my 2006 zx6r with no PCIII and had 19k miles on her when I sold her without any issues. It will be fine without one but any bike will always run...

    Should I buy a kawasaki 250 ninja or a 500 ninja?

    I had a 2006 500 Ninja and loved it. Great starter bike with enough power to keep you satisfied. Very comfortable and gets great gas mileage. Unfortunately they haven't changed the looks since 1993 and has a very out dated look. If you want a new look, go for the 2008+ 250 completely...

    2008 Kawasaki Ninja 500r Fuel Gauge?

    Nope, just use the 2nd trip to give you an idea how many miles you have left before hitting the reserve. You get an idea how much gas you have left once you get use to it. Even my ZX6R and ZX10R don't have a fuel gauge. Just a fuel light (same as hitting the reserve).
