Hey guys! I packed on a solid 1000+kms this weekend on the zx6r. *** and lower back are in slight pain, but the most annoying thing was about after an hour of riding I'd need to take my hand off he throttle and shake it/rub my fingers together to get the feeling back in my thumb, index finger...

I'm staying at my inlaws in Huntsville this weekend. I am going to be riding up early Saturday morning and the wife is going to be bringing the SUV. As of now this is going to be my Saturday afternoon ride...

As the title states, I am finally getting around to tuning my '09 ZX6R. It has 25,000km on it with a M4 GP slip on (deletes cat) and a Power Commander IV. I have the off the shelf map on the bike a the moment from Power Commander, but its still running a bit lean and I know the power band and...

Getting my bike tuned by speedlab performance & tuning either this weekend or next weekend. Was chatting with the owner this evening for quite a while and he seems like a stand up guy that is really passionate about what he does. I considered other tuners in the area, but made my mind up with...

I have been using Maxima chain wax for quite some time now. I love how it doesn't fly off on the rear tire and how it smells like candles for the 1st 30km or so. I am a big fan of the chain wax, but I find that every time I wax the chain I end up needing to heat it up and clean it while the...

Not sure how many of you take the 403E into Mississauga weekday mornings, but there seems to be a serious summer blitz going on. Yesterday morning there was a total of 5 people pulled over between Winston Churchill and Hurontario (insane!). For the first time in 6 years of commuting to sauga on...

To everyone here that commutes 80km+ round trip in rush hour, have you been commuting on 2 wheels in the heat? Unfortunately my gear is all black, and my zx6r is black also which makes me feel like I'm in death valley. I haven't brought it into work the last week or so. Call me a wimp, but I'd...

Hi everyone, My friend has been racing with SOAR for quite some time now and has been hassling me to get a track bike, so I thought rather than prepping my street bike (09' zx6r), I'd try FAST Racing school. I did the phase 1 at FAST on a 2016 zx6r and has to be one of the most fun days of my...

I got my EBC HH front pads for my 2009 ZX6R this morning and and going to attempt to put them in tonight. My front pads are completely toast and I am not going to ride until the new ones are put in. I watched a couple youtube vids, and there is one online for my exact bike model.....seems very...

I am looking for a new Motorcycle mechanic in the Halton Area. I live in Burlington and have had it at Burlington Cycle once in the past, but I would rather bring my bike to a shop to be worked on rather than a dealer. Any suggestions? Thank you :cool:

Hi guys, I was sitting at a red light on my way home from a ride this evening (still very hot out around 8pm) and my RPMs would drop and come back up. It did this about 3 times in 1 minute. The bike did not stall, but it quickly dropped and then came back up. My idle is set to around 1300rpm at...

Hi Everyone, 1st time doing grips here. I am going to cut them off with a razor blade as I have no use for the grips currently on it. I know its a very simple job, but I am debating what to use while slipping them on the clop ons's. I have access to hairspray and Isopropyl Alcohol. Watched a...

I made a previous post in regards to my frayed clutch lever last week. All is good now, but the ride back from where my bike was worked on was pretty sketchy and nerve-wracking. I won't mention where I took my bike because it's a pretty well known place and I don't want to point fingers, but let...

Hi everyone, I noticed that my clutch cable was starting to have some slack so I tightened it up a tad. As the open slit part came around as I was tightening it I saw a ton of wires that were snapped/frayed from the cable! The clutch cable was hanging on my maybe 4-5 wires. Good thing I was...

Random question...Does anyone own, or know anyone that owns a ZX10-R? I have yet to see one on the streets, PERIOD! All the liter bikes I see are 1)Suzuki GSXR 1000's 2) Yamaha R1's 3)Honda CBR1000rr's....but no Kawi's! I can proudly say that I am a huge Kawi fan ever since owning a ZX6-R. I...

Me and a buddy are planning on doing a trip down to the Deals Gap area in late July-Mid August for a couple days. We are going to rent a Uhaul and trailer the bikes down there. I'm not concerned about myself having problems crossing with my bike, it's my buddy I'm a bit concerned about. His dad...

I am debating whether or not to Powder coat the wheels on my 09' ZX6R Monster Edition Kawi green or not. The bike does look nice with black wheels (they are easy to keep clean also)...but I think kawi green wheels on it would look quite sleek. There ain't many 09' monster edition bikes out...

Has anyone here noticed a dramatic increase in unmarked police vehicles? I live in Burlington and I swear that 50% of the Police on the road these days are in unmarked vehicles, mostly Ford Explorers. It really grinds my gears. Cops should be visible to the public as they are to serve and...

Hi everyone, I completed the FAST Riding School phase 1 course a couple weeks ago. I knew that once I got a taste for the track I'd be hooked...was I ever right. There is nothing quite like it and was a freakin blast! I highly recommend FAST riding school to anyone that is thinking of...

Hi all! Has anyone done sideroad #15 from Guelph Line to Trafalgar yet? Last year at this time it was in pretty good shape....they re surfaced it in September sometime also. Was just wondering because I'd like to take an evening commute up there sometime this week. Meant to hit it up on the...
