I’m pretty sure what I’m looking for is called honing. From what I understand, it’s a four sided stone tool that corrects out of round, and taper. I could be wrong, but I think you’re thinking of de-glazing (ball hone, or three blade stone) which is not really meant to remove material, just...

I would like to have my ex500 parallel twin honed, it’s about .004” out of round and not sure if it has taper. Does anyone know a place near Brampton, and any idea what that service should cost? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’m super interested in how insurance goes Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I was really looking forward to this show, but being on the long weekend I will probably be taking the family to the cottage. Snowmobiles and being out of the city is a pretty good time Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I bought my A-stars leather jacket at the downtown show, before the pandemic. Hopefully looking to replace my current helmet this year, and I always want new gloves. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Wife just started riding last year, she has no idea where to start.. but lots of misconceptions, so it would be nice if someone other then me had to tell her she is wrong LOL. I just love anything on two wheels, old, new, custom, from the show room. All styles as well Sent from my iPhone...

Didn’t they already do that? The snowmobile with wheels? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’m at 3, but the wife just started riding last year, she loves it.. I see more in my future. Being the youngest of her siblings she is not fond of hand-me-downs Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The air box was pretty mangled from the previous owner, I have a new one now. There was a lean spot around 6-7k rpm, and I think I was just hanging out there on the 407 (to be honest I wasn’t thinking to much of it till I lost power) Yes they are ART pistons with 1mm compression rings, I guess...

For the 500 I have an extra set of headers, so just weld a bung into each pipe, the 250 headers already look like crap and you can’t really see them anyway, the dirt bike is purely functional so seeing a welded bung wouldn’t bother me. Then I get to spend next summer moving the system from bike...

I just wanted to thank everyone for their input. Just so I understand, it was most likely a prolonged lean condition? I will check that everything is right when I get it back together. Maybe get a wide band O2 sensor and a way to read it Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

This is the other piston Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I never noticed anything before, coolant was behaving normally.. even after, I started it in the driveway to confirm it was f’ed. had the rad cap off no bubbles.. then I pulled the breather hose from the crankcase that fed back to the carb, man there was a good amount of smoke.. that’s when I...

I think it might be extra clean from coolant making it’s way into the combustion chamber, there was coolant spray when I got off the highway, temp gauge didn’t show any overheating at the time I lost power. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

When I pulled the plugs there was not much left of the centre electrode. I threw them out and bought new ones specified by the manufacturer, I think the new ones are one heat range cooler Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Ran low of gas on the highway, switched to reserve. Moments later it felt like I was on the ex250r, not the ninja 500 lol. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I really like partzilla . I find it very easy to use to find part numbers, and if you scroll down after you click on a part it lists everything else that uses that part. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Looking for a piston for an ex500, one of mine has a hole in it. Just putting it out there if anyone has one kicking around. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Valve spring, so you can get the keepers in or out? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

There are only two tanks in the ground, medium grade is blended at the pump. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
