Re: What is the use of protective gears during biking?
Is this a serious question? Or is this more about an opportunity to flog snow gear?

The oil in the engine protects the "gears" when they are rotating.

Doesn't seem to be doing a good job in S1000RR gearboxes.JetPilot wrote:The oil in the engine protects the "gears" when they are rotating.

Perhaps the magnetic sump plug from S1000R gearboxes on oil changes is meant to look like, like the one featured below.
