Re: Re Wrong Owners Manual

Actually, I thought the Span reduction kit makes the clutch harder
to pull as it uses a reduced size clutch lever on the motor side. 
Its really just for people with smaller hands (such as mine).
Although, I wear a medium glove size. But I still want a more
flickable clutch. Anyway, I'll know for sure tomorrow as that's
when mine is being installed.

I remember the 2000 model also having the same span as the 99.
The RS I think my have it though, I did really notice when I saw
it at the show.
