    A DIY Garage and Winter storage/ work space

    My 2 cents and ideas, take feedback with lots of salt. - Keep overhead as low as possible to start. No need to supply media devices, just provide WIFI for smart phones and tablets. (or open next to a Timmies!) - If you have a car float and a truck, solves moving both cars and bikes if needed...

    Some newbie questions

    1) I started on a 125 in TO. Same deal, comfortable around 80, any higher and I felt unstable. Experienced 125 riders may have different point of view. Few on here that do some longer tours, which lead me to start with a 125. 2) Shifting shouldn't be an issue. 3) No Splitting lanes legally in...

    OTT:Case dismissed!!

    I used OTT and they just advised my ticket was dismissed and my record remains clean. Ok, perhaps just not any dirtier. They gave me a bit of "we can not guarantee..." and I thought it would just get a reduced fine and points would remain. That's the impression they gave me anyway. However...

    Leatherup.ca

    Ordered a Buffalo leather from here. Estimated to arrive between 23rd & 28th. Got here on the 23rd, one week after ordering. Wasn't in a hurry, could have paid for shipping if I were... Product is as advertised. Thick leather, looks good. Will have to see how it stands up over time. Canadian...

    Low idle RPM, sputtering -- "Fixed" after refilling gas?

    Sorry to OP, I didn't mean the "original post". My problem sound similar and I'm trying to go through the basics too.. That said, the Plugs needed replacing, but were not the root cause. So Not water and not Plugs. I rode to Wasaga last night, about 45 Miles in the sputtering came back. I...

    Low idle RPM, sputtering -- "Fixed" after refilling gas?

    To follow up on my own post. I had the sputtering problem again, but this time I knew it wasn't water. A buddy suggested an electrical issue before. I wiggled the plug leads and the power came back. What I am thinking is the bike gets hot, expands and leads loosen. Vibrations cause the loose...

    Low idle RPM, sputtering -- "Fixed" after refilling gas?

    I ride a Vstar and this season is brutal for water in my tank. Warm days, evening ride that heats up the tank and then temps drop over night. Filled up to brim last night, as the temps dropped pretty low again. Will keep an eye in the thread, but sounds similar to my bike's sputtering issue...

    Re: Switching to Reserve

    Re: Switching to Reserve I have a 2007 Vstar 650, no fuel gauge. When I ride close to empty the bike starts to sputter and loss power. Lack of fuel obviously. What is the best/proper method to switch to reserve? Stop the bike, then switch while running? Stop the bike, turn off and then...

    First bike. First rider.

    I just picked up a Vstar Classic 650, loving it! Not sure about highway, but feels like it will not be a problem. Loud as hell, low seat and cheap on insurance. Honda 750's are similar in class. Lots out there and given you see them with high mileage tells you they last too. If you can ride...

    Screw in Rear tire :( Options?

    Just got my Vstar 650 and put a screw in the rear tire on the weekend. I have plugged it to get it to a shop, but no way I'm comfortable with that long term. Sucks, but I'm a newbie and a blow out is not something I want to play with. What cost am I looking at to replace? Tire mounting and...

    Vstar 650 2nd opinion...

    Hey GTA, I just picked up my Vstar 650. LOVE it!! I'm upgrading from a CBR 125, so the difference is quite large. I'm also not a gearhead and fairly new to the whole sport. 1) Pipes are crazy loud.. I like it, but I doubt anyone else on my block does. I found a few cheap baffle mods, once I...
