I just want to add that I think it really depends on the bike. My ex250 has proper fork internals and a nice shock, spring rate and damping set correctly. a nicely tuned brake set up,and good tires. Love that bike so much I put a ex300 motor and fi system in it, it just feels perfect with great...

Shoulder is broken, fractured off part of the arm bone that the shoulder muscles attach to. Never broke anything before.. kinda sucks hopefully it heals well, and explains why it was next to impossible to pick up the bike and ride it home lol Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Riding home was not fun, handle bar is bent and there is a bunch of scratches, but it’s fine otherwise. Having your arm out of its joint is not so much fun though Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks, it’s my own fault.. I was taking risks, I should know better.. lol, I actually do know better.. I’m so ****** at myself Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Just threw my bike on the ground, sitting in urgent care now with what I’m nearly sure is a dislocated shoulder. Garbage truck went to turn left in front of me just as I was crossing into the intersection. We both got on the brakes thankfully as he would have ran over me.. lol. I told myself...

If it’s a fibreglass helmet I wouldn’t care, but one of the plastic helmets I would be careful of the paint used. Not sure of the right one to use, or if it makes a difference.. Plastic can do some weird things when exposed to certain chemicals( not sure if it applies in this case) Sent from...

Just to add to this, we have a bunch of guys that deal with the water and they constantly f*** filters with their lack of attention. When the chiller goes down,it’s normally due to Teflon tape clogging the filter.. so you’re not wrong. You just have to be attentive, just taking something out...

You’re totally correct, but sometimes when something has to run at work, down time cost thousands, and you don’t have the right fitting ( British fittings seem hard to come by( yes we have some old machines)) I will do what it takes to get it up, and running.. As soon as the right fitting comes...

Just wrap Teflon tape around the threads, you won’t have to tighten it to much to keep it from leaking.. I’m assuming this for testing and not permanent. Otherwise your idea of running the die will work Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Wawa to Sudbury seems far for one day,but there are some nice roads north of the trans-Canada Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’m not sure what you’re asking, but I grew up in the Soo. I spent most of my childhood on the north shore of that lake, if the weather is good then it’s great, but if the weather is bad it can be really bad. Chippewa falls, I think that’s how you spell it, is a great place, especially if the...

+1 for Daytona, best boots I’ve ever owned. Tons of protection, but feel like I’m wearing slippers.. SO comfy My only complaint would be the the foot bed doesn’t have a ton of padding, and almost no shock absorption for walking. Easily solved with a new insole, any of the ones designed for...

I got my policy with echelon through dalton timmis, which I believe is nfp now. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Should head bolts and threaded holes be completely clean and dry, or do you lube the threads? I’m thinking dry, but everything I torque at work has a lube, or gets copper anti-seize,, but they’re much bigger bolts. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Well, still waiting for my print out. He swears I will have it tomorrow. The instructions that I’m following suggest that the head is clamped down in three stages ending at 40ft-lbs which is 11ft-lbs higher then original spec. With the head and barrels lapped it should have the best chance of...

Unfortunately I won’t have the computer measurements till Monday morning, so unfortunately no news on how bad it actually is. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Apparently service limit is .027” , but I haven’t honed the bore yet. I hear you about the oversized rings, but there meant for a bore that is 0.5mm bigger then the standard 74mm and my bore is no longer 74mm lol I have the cylinders being measured by a computer controlled machine, should have...

That is the plan Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’m not disregarding anything, they are valid points, but I I’m going to put this engine back together. If it works great, if not I throw it in the corner til I can do right. I’m most interested in the technical why’s to someone’s opinion, just saying no, you’re wrong, you’re an idiot, it can’t...
