I'm a mechanic for a Volvo dealership and I'd say I'm quite mechanically inclined but my bike I don't want to screw with. I don't have the money to replace the engine so I think i'll pay and have it done right.

My 2004 gsxr 750 is now past 48,000kms and I feel a valve adjustment is necessary since Suzuki recommends it every 24,000. Around the 24,000 mark I was told to wait till 48k. So here I am once again asking if anyone knows someone who is competent to do valve adjustments or can recommend a shop...

my blackberry may or may not have good enough sound to capture it. It's a rhythmic sound which leads me to believe it's a valve train issue as timing chains are known to be a bit noisy on SS bikes. This is not the normal timing chain noise I'm used to with my bike and it's been stalling quite...

My 2004 GSXR 750 with 40,000kms on it is making a knocking sort of noise when at idle and is stalling easily when coming to a stop or at a stop once at normal operating temp. Could this be my timing chain making the noise and valves needing to be shimmed for why it's stalling? I know around the...

Likewise, glad you made it out. Next time we'll make sure there's vegetarian cuisine.

You do know there is a couple meanings for "atm". I hope you meant at the moment and not the other "atm" that doesn't have such a nice connotation. :mrgreen:

I got a ticket a year ago last October on Mount Pleasant just north of where it starts (jarvis ends) near that school on the east side. Was doing 15 over. I applied for my court date and never got a notice in the mail. So last year closing in on the one year anniversary of the ticket I decided...

I'm really enjoying reading everyone's posts. Some great points being made and also some different opinions being expressed. Good to see it's not turned into a flame war like some threads. Nice to see things are being hashed out in a manner that doesn't sound like you're attacking each other...

I think he was implying that we all claim we're innocent of any wrong doing when clearly we've done at least something wrong to end up being pulled over whether it's trumped up or not. You can't whine or complain about being pulled over if you were legitimately doing something that warranted it...

I drove a car without insurance for over a year until I got hit while attempting a U-Turn. I had a great story for the cop about why I didn't have my insurance slip on me. He made me fax him the policy number the following Monday. So I faxed him an expired policy number. I got a careless charge...

I was coming south on highway 12 from Port Perry one night at about 11pm and it was cold so I was ripping it home doing 156 in a 80. I saw an oncoming car so I turned off my high beam and saw in my side mirror the disco lights turn on and the car turn around. I could have ran and got away but I...

Don't know, even if he isn't he's sure as hell knowledgeable.

Hasn't helped me first hand but anytime he's offered advice it's been bang on and always helped me finish the job or get past the obstacle before me. +100 for Frekeyguy! I would recommend anyone to ask him about issues they may have when doing work themselves. By the sounds of it he's also...
