Just wanted to point out to people here that the Snidal manual, that I got from CMW just yesterday, makes a lot of forceful points about many riding techniques that are interesting. And if they are valid, following even one of them may be worth many times the price of the CD.
For instance, the information about possible catastrophic failure of the starter motor, if used on a cold start, when the battery may be low in charge. Which is the basis for his recommendation to avoid the ES totally for cold starts, first thing in the morning.
Many other interesting pointers, and I commend the manual to all who are neophytes, as I am on this subject. Experts may pick up something too, for all I know.
