to answer two of three questions..

fanning the clutch is the same as feathering the clutch, think of it as riding the clutch, taking the pressure off the clutch plates and allowing the engine to 'spin up' and then releasing.

ergos/brakes is in reference to how the lever works as far as I know. Its commonly used when refering to road race pushbikes, basically a shifter built into the brake lever. not to sure how this would work with motorbikes, but possibly something to do with fine braking adjustments would be my guess...

why not send ADB an email and ask them to do a FAQ on 'slang' or hit up their forum and ask!? BOUND to get the answer your after there!

mate- fanning the clutch is when you like come out of a corner and the bike doesnt accelorate like you want it to, you could be in the wrong gear, so to get the speed up quickly you just sort of grab the clutch just a little and keep the revs up the let g quickly you will be going faster.

and brakes and ergos
ergos- ergonomics
brakes0- brakes.

ergos and brakes are basicall how the bikes feels. like if the say the ergos are cramped that means that the pegs might be too high up in conjuction with that seat, and the bars are too far back. ergos will suit that rider, like if it was a tall guy and said that the ergos were good for him, it might be a taller seat hight, bigger bars and the peg/seat relationship will be quite high. but if a small dude were to ride that bike he would say that it was too big. companies tend to make bikes in the middle to suit average highted people .
so basically, ergos are very personal.

and brakes are just put in there because they are sort of not big enough to have their own category, but too too big to leave them out. sometimes thy put it into handling and suspension and sometimes with ergos. but they are usually categorized with ergos cause all the lavers and stuff can affect the bikes ergos, like if the levers were to suit a guy with long fingers, it will be hard for a smaller guy to reach them,- got it- good

^^^very well said

Ergo's = Ergonomics = The relationship between the user and the environment = The relationship between the rider and the motorcycle ( environment) = All things like
- Seat height , peg height , peg to seat distance
- Weight
- Contours of the motorcycle such as the shrouds , how the knee's hug the tank
- Basically how you as the rider feel on the motorcycle which is ultimatley the most important aspect of any motorcycle.

Orionproseries preety much hit the nail in the head. Good post.

I don't think these threads are pointless. Its a forum where people go to learn. Dirt bike / motorcycle can be quite overwhelming so this was a good post!
