Here are some threads discussing LSD vs normal (open) diffs

Things to consider: LSD sierra diff with have the lobro/bolt on shafts, open differentials come in more ratios (3.14, 3.38, 3.62, 3.92) whereas LSD is
just 3.62 (correct me anyone if i'm wrong)

You can get 3.92 LSD's too - but I think these are too 'tall' for a bike engine...
