WTF is that thing?
Still yet another 2010 SG question for the experts.
WTF is the support rod that connects to the forward cylinder head top side then to the frame? What would be the adverse effects (if any) if I took it off? Tanks!

if your talking about the turnbuckle looking piece, that is one of the motor stabilizers. Their job is to keep the drivetrain all in line. Without them the motor would be able to shift side to side which in turn moves the swingarm side to side makeing for a ill handeling motor cycle. I don't recomend removeing it.

1950 of my post was in the showdown section (love da be-atches) so I know squat about how my bike runs.
O.K. I'll come clean, I knew what it was and for just wanted to know if anybody has removed it because it's fugly as hell. I've owned 10 RK's and none of them had it and they rode just fine.
