I wouldn't be rebuilding a motor cuz the cam chain makes noise. First thing I would do is get a factory manual and there is a measurement/spec for the cam chain. If the chain is in spec, fix the tensioner (have you tried resetting the tensioner? They do go out of adjustment and should be reset...

Back in the day we used to "street race" on 5th Line, north of Dundas in Mississauga. It was before there was "Erin Mills" and 5th Line was a dead end off Dundas and the cops would close off the road at Dundas with 2 cruisers with the lights on and let us have at it almost every saturday night...

Park your car where it will get sunlight first thing in the morning. All that nice glass makes a good fish bowl and all the glass will be covered in condensation (on the inside if it's above freezing, on the both sides if it's below freezing (HINT HINT). Next day leave the window down about...

I once watched a guy weld up an exhaust manifold with 2 car batteries and a pair of jumper cables... I betcha this is better... at least a LITTLE better With welders being so cheap, I would look at a cheap multi function welder before I bought this. Those were pretty decent beads out of a hand...

I have never seen those seals anywhere but on motorcycle steering stems. I have made a seal out of plastic before... it's just a dust seal

It has to be a sworn document

Doesn't need to be roadworthy. Doesn't even need an ownership. You don't need an ownership to take it across the border, you need a declaration of ownership. Race bikes don't have ownerships, and on some racebikes the VIN is UN-registerable in Canada Yes the border wants 2 days notice. Taxes and...

Your biggest worry storing in a unheated space is condensation. Be sure you have good ventilation and you'll be fine

Uh OH... incoming diatribe..... Start with: OP don't bother "fogging" the motor if you've recently been riding the bike. the motor fogs itself... if you don't believe me: get your motor up to temp and remove the oil fill cap. See all that oil rich mist floating out? Engine fog. "Fogging" and...

Now go ask the same questions in Utah

The personal and private use only endorsement can get you around that on select vehicles... just to further add to the confusion

There was a time I was pulling my buddy's Super Stock drag racer all over the country with a minivan, and the weigh tickets were close to the GVW of the truck, which had a PUO endorsement... which RAISED the GVW from the factory GVW, almost doubled the GVW. And I have visions of being pulled...

For commercial vehicle registered over 4500kg GVW. Under 4500kg no yellow sticker, no annual inspection... AND you can get blue passenger car plates for it (IF it has a seatbelt in the back... doesn't NEED a seat, just the belt)

The CVOR is nothing in this debate. Law says IF you operate a commercially licensed vehicle over 4500kg you need a CVOR. It is a further add on license. Just more government BS... BUT the CVOR means the operator of a commercially licensed vehicle with a "G" license is bound by the same...

There WAS a time when you had to register the vehicle as commercial IF you used it for ANY commercial purpose... so taxi cabs had commercial plates, so did delivery vehicles (including pizza or chinese food) and the like. That day is long gone. I started driving a cab in the late '70s and I...

Platinum tipped plugs DO last longer... don't know about 100,000k ... but they DO last longer than non platinum plugs Don't buy plugs off amazon or aliexpress Go for ride this weekend when it's warmer to see if it is better... I don't have a lot of faith in the MAP sensors these bikes use

MOT defines a commercial vehicle as: A commercial motor vehicle is either: a truck or highway tractor with a gross weight or registered gross weight of more than 4,500 kilograms a bus with a seating capacity for ten or more passengers tow trucks concrete pumps and mobile cranes (not including...

Do you eat hot dogs? We eat everything in the pig but the oink

The swingarms on those '70s bikes weren't strong enough for the big motors (neither were the frames, but that's another discussion) so CalFab whipped up these trussed swingers... which just moved the excessive forces to the swingarm pivot, so they started bracing that too, which moved the forces...

I THINK most, if not all, states changed their laws the same time Ontario did. These rule changes took a lot of race carrier setups off the road... you USED to be able to register a semi as a motorhome and pay next to nothing for registration and insurance... not anymore. Now the racer setup has...
