It has fresh gas, but I'm not sure the pumps here have switched to winter gas yet? That could make a difference. I've had this 03 since 2008, and it's been an issue for at least the last ten years. Runs great in the heat, and acts up when it cools in the fall. I assumed it was just how it is...

I guess I'll find out when I'm able to replace my timing chain. I'll check all that.

I suggest finding a local design student. Give them a couple bucks to do it for you. Check Marketplace or Kijiji? Maybe search for freelance design or graphic design tutor. They would have a student license for Photoshop, and have the skill. A student would likely charge around $35/hour (in my...

I'll look into that and see if/how it can be done. I assume theres a motor to circulate the oil, but it could be the same system that gets the oil to the moving parts for lubrication. That would make sense for keeping the engine warm and effecient.

I read about the oil thickness recently, but I can't remember if I factored that in when I changed the oil on the 01 for last winter. I'll look into that. Thanks. Being air cooled, I don't have to worry about the thermostat, but I do have an oil cooler. I should clean that off, although that...

They are identical bikes (other than rim dimensions, as I discovered). 750cc air cooled carbureted (obviously). The choke is manual thumb lever. I turn it on the start and gradually turn it off within the first minute of running. Same fuel, oil, and filters. Both up to date on regular service...

I have an 01 Katana, and an 03 Katana. Overall, the 03 is in better condition, and was my original bike. The 01 was bought complete, but as a donor. I don't know if it was the exhaust or some other mechanicals, but I liked the sound of the 01 better, so last summer I switched to riding the 01...

Maybe bleach would work better than vinegar?

I've always wanted a dumbwaiter, or a shoot, for laundry, but in my current house the laundry is on the ground floor of a bungalow, so it's not needed. I've heard they are illegal, though. If so, that and lawn darts should be re-legalized.

My house in Hamilton used to get bad smells in the finished basement. It had 2 floor drains and a shower drain (that we rarely used). I started pouring a litre of water in each once per month and the smell went away.

Thanks! My drain is pretty much sealed where it enters the 2" drain pipe, so my solution was to put a T on the line just before it enters the 2" pipe and run a 1" clear hose from that to the sink. I put a loop in the hose to act as a trap. If it drains into the sink, that would indicate there...

I have an upstairs laundry with my sons bedroom below it. A couple weeks ago the pipe plugged up and water overflowed all over the floor and seeped through, destroying the ceiling underneath and soaking the carpet. The plumbing is fixed, the room dried up, and the ceiling repair started. I'm...

I've realized Toronto is a very "woke" city. Elon is anti-censorship. Woke culture is all about censorship, so he won't get much love on a GTA based forum. The responses don't surprise me at all.

Just an FYI, the bike I posted above is an '01 GSX750F. I rode it all last winter. I expected after one winter I'd have some cleaning to do to keep it in good shape, and get the rust and corrosion off, but I had far more corrosion than I expected. To be clear, any part of the bike not painted...

I bought Shinko 705s thinking the large off-road lugs would give traction if it unexpectedly snowed while I was out. BAD mistake. The first cold wet day my back wheel slid out while turning a corner. I barely kept the bike up by steering into an empty oncoming lane. After that, I began a weeks...

I have contributed. Not sure why it's not reflected in my status, and I'm still restricted from Trash Talk.

I'm sorry to hear it. How long has it been happening, or how often, does it happen? I have three kids myself, but haven't experienced this. My guess is that it'll be a short-term thing. Maybe some other stress is spilling over, or something unpredictable like a bad dream that you don't remember...

Btw, I did not realize that I was forcing anyone to partake in any discussion they didn't want to be part of. I apologize for doing so. If only there was a scroll option to bypass undesired topics.

Just a point of clarification, "over" refers to unlawful mandates, not covid.

You are correct. However, I did not make this post, and mandates/woke cult are related to the city loosing its mind, so...
