I use the quick links in the banner on occasion. I can't remember the last time I clicked on that first pinned topic in q&a. However I do visit the FAQ directly from the main page/index when I need to.

There are only a few items that I really need to reread before tuning up the bike. The rest of the items in the index faq I really only need to view once. What I didn't notice for a long time was that there are 2 different FAQs, the other one being in the forum.
