I opted for the last option and have saved money $$ ever since and avoided damage on my bike by amateur "technicians" at mechanic shops. Like the Canadian Tire teenaged technician who cross-threaded my oil drain plug the other time.

Integrate these things with police departments like Lo-Jack did. Participating police departments carry a Lo-Jack on some patrol cars and they scan the area where they are driving at random and sniff out stolen cars (with hidden Lo-Jacks on them) and pull them over on the spot. So there's no...

LOL I find it funny how gullible some people are thinking that dealerships actually perform the 59-point inspection on a bike or a car when you bring it in for an overpriced service and oil change. They even torx-wrench it to a tee too? Yeah okay. Oh yeah and the resetting of that odometer is...

The best Honda in history was the NX 250. Nothing equals it's durability and endurance. Me going 165 km/h with a passenger in straight lines to a place 100 km away plus hills and mountain ranges thrown in the mix. It had guts. I just stopped using it, it never failed me, when I turned it off...

Buddy, it's a sucker's deal, just like buying a car and having to do the oil change at their overpriced dealerships. I remember a cousin of mine buying a new motorcycle in the old country. The salesman told him that for an extra $300 he would be protected with engine & tranny for 3 years. My...

No, it will be a waste of time. The damage should had been reported on the spot when they gave it to me. It would be like me returning to a convenience store with the change of a $100 bill saying that when I got home I found out they short-changed me $40 bucks. Nobody will buy that. I will...

Bingo! It now makes sense. I asked them to fix an ongoing electrical problem right before they took it out of storage. I bet they replicated the screw-up done on another customer at another bike shop on Relax's link. Look at the melting spot, it's identical as mine, looks like a spray-paint...

I'm sure it's stock, and if it wasn't, why didn't it melt the entire Summer last year when I rode it? These guys started another bike in front of mine I bet, one of those with the muffler sticking out high from under the seat. Now I can't prove it was them. The fact that these guys melted my...

No it's not spray paint, I thought it was too when I came home. I touched it with my fingers, it's a depression and it's thinner on that spot. They must have touched it with something hot, looks like someone touched it with a torch. @ DOWNUNDER AND GREYGHOST They never allowed me to go in...

I took my bike from storage on Monday, it has a melted spot on the headlight lens. I didn't noticed it when they gave me the bike, only until I got home after a 40 min ride. To be honest I never noticed the melted spot when I gave them my bike back in November, I would had seen it, I clean...

Do you get the location of it? In coordinates? How accurate? You get en email or a text message?

No way man, I wouldn't touch anything italian not even with a 10-ft-long pole when it comes to motorcycles or vehicles. I would rather buy an Indian Pulsar Bajaj first.

I agree. My winter tires felt soft and warm in the snow the 1st year, then by the 2nd and 3rd year they felt hard in cold weather, almost like regular tires. The malleability disappears.

First of all, this is not my opinion, my mechanic told me this, also I have a question for you; how many catastrophic engine failures have taken place or how much percentage of motorcycles end up in the junkyard because of acid eating your rabbit and shell bearings? C'mon, nice fear-mongering...

Yeah those are legal even for me, they have all-metal ratchets. Those are good up to an impressive 1,100 lbs the label claims, I wouldn't personally trust them for more than 500 lbs.

It's dumb to change the oil before mothballing your bike for 6 months. The oil loses viscosity, this is why at garages doing oil changes they tell you, either 5,000 km or 6 months, whatever comes 1st. Do it when you take it out of storage and will be using your bike constantly. Same with...

I live in a 1st floor apartment building. I don't trust my basement because it might get stolen down there, in the summer I park my bike in my balcony and cover it with a blanket, but in winter there's no option in either choice. I don't want my new bike exposed to -20C nights for months. I...

Yeah okay, snow tires don't last 10 years, they only last 3 years if you buy them new. You only wear them for Christmas? I put my on from November 1st to April 15th.

Okay so how did the insurance company found out he had a modified muffler? Some of my family members have been in accidents, and even car write offs and nobody from the insurance company came to see the cars. They just asked for pics and a police report. If you said to your insurance company...

I never cared for ABS, I always rode old school carburated bikes until last year. I had LOTS of fish-tailing over the years when I had to brake hard because the car ahead of me went to a dead stop in the middle of the 401. Now that I have a modern bike with ABS I never had one fish-tailing...
