    Clutch Failed Right After Warranty

    I'm still not even quite sure what the described problem is by the op. If the clutch is toast at 13k, and the lever free play needed to be adjusted at the dealership 4 times, I have no idea what it could be besides user error. The nut on the engine is probably referring to the coarse clutch...

    Economical Insurance

    If you were a policy holder when they originally decided to demutualize back in 2015.

    Private sale and test rides

    Deposit or collateral, the exact amount up to you but at least enough to deter theft. You also tend to get an idea of the type of person you are dealing with pretty quickly.

    Economical Insurance

    The flipside to the statement is that one of the cheaper insurance companies is no longer a mutual company and now just another ontario insurance company with soon to rise rates. Cashed my cheque but we'll see how long before they take it all back.

    Windshield wipers

    Another vote for Bosch Icons. Also, Rain-x is pretty good too. edit: not the rain-x wipers but the chemical treatment.

    Airbag Suit/Vest for Track

    It was PROTEKSPORT at Bogie with Pro6. They let you try it on for a session and rent it for the day iirc. I did not try it.

    Looking to get USB charger installed

    Quadlock has a 30% black friday sale going. It's still hugely expensive compared to ebay options, but I love it. I have the wireless charger on a vibration damper. Rather than going straight to the battery, I have a 12v socket wired into my accessory circuit (factory heated grips) and a 12v...

    Switching mobile phone service carriers?

    Most if not all A2P(application to person) SMS sent through shortcodes are done a 3rd party company specializing in A2P. Many of them do not use normal SMSC-based methods of text messaging because its far more expensive to do so on a per-message basis. These alternative methods are often times...

    recommended motorcycle dolly for garage?

    I bought one from Royal Distributing several years ago. Still have it in my garage but I don't use it anymore as my garage spot is bike dedicated now and organized to do maintenance work. It worked great when I had to do exactly what you are doing, putting a bike perpendicular to a car...

    Caught doing 173kmh in a 50kmh zone

    Was it a residential? There's a lot of 50 kph zones now. I know of several that are 3-4 lane per direction that are 50kph.

    Anyone used Ace Moto Tech in Milton?

    Can't sing enough praises about his work. Unfortunately, he's always swamped. If there's any serious work that needs to be done, he'd be my first call.

    Passing on the right hand shoulder of the road.

    Irregardless of legality, my point is that it will always be a risk to make a left hand turn before all oncoming traffic is stopped or fully accounted for. Thus, it is much more salient to discuss whether you should make a left infront of a vehicle that has no plans to stop. People break the...

    Passing on the right hand shoulder of the road.

    Never assume they will stop for you till they have stopped for you. Left hand turns are one of the most dangerous actions on the public roads, especially for motorcyclists. #1 reason of motorcyclist fatalities, beating out failure to navigate corners. I know the situation you are describing...

    Trickle charging more than one bike

    The chargers are cheap enough and the Battery Jr ones come with a pretty decent SAE lead. I just left the battery to SAE lead plugged in and tucked it away under the seat. There are also lots of 12V accessories you can put an SAE lead on, like USB chargers. Most chargers like the Jr have...

    Seats on new motorcycles

    I don't mind the stock seat on my 790 Duke but the power parts Ergo Seat is better at hour 3 of a day trip. When i'm in my usual A* Raider Drystar textile pants, I prefer the Ergo seat, but when i'm in my A* Track Leather 2's and pushing, the stock seat is a whole lot better for sliding around...

    Rip Michael K williams

    Definitely. Season 2 was perhaps the low point for me, even if it set up the greatness that was season 4 and 5. One of the greatest TV shows. Also, Hamsterdam!

    Yeah, no discount. They got you by the balls. no/cheap insurance options are track only bikes and green plates.

    Thinking of packing it in on the street...

    Perhaps riding with the community? If you are competent, safe and patient, perhaps "mentoring" some newer riders? Of course you gotta be selective and set boundaries but it can really reinvigorate your desire by being around enthusiastic people.
