    "New" Tires in the Rain - how many km?

    This has been covered in many threads in the past. Mold release compounds haven't been used on motorcycle tires in years. New tires are always better in the rain than older ones. The sharp edges on the tread channel water better than rounded edges.

    Someone complained about our house to the city

    In my recent conversation with the bylaw office (about a trailer in my driveway) I was told that it wasn't anyone on my street that complained about it. Apparently someone who lived in the city lodged a large number of complaints about different properties in different parts of the city. Some...

    Someone complained about our house to the city

    No, the city won't disclose who filed the complaint. They will investigate and determine if there is a bylaw violation or not and then address the issue with the neighbour.

    Someone complained about our house to the city

    The card is typically left at the door to advise you of the visit. Normally a registered letter will follow indicating what the problem is and the penalties for not correcting the issue.

    How many of you had the balls to

    Back straight at Mosport, within 500 rpm of redline in sixth. When you come over the hill that corner looks like it's coming really fast.

    Renovations of my den...

    I think it's pretty cool from what I've seen so far in your pics. I like the mannequin, I might have to steal that idea ... I already have the gas mask I use it as a Halloween costume.

    How is it? Is that the reason the rider went down?

    Any Supersport riders move to Supermoto?

    I've got a Corbin seat and it made a big difference. I still stand on occasion but the seat transitions wide and flat to the rear and that's a big help.

    need some advice asap

    Or he knows in this price range that the only people that are going to be interested in it care about how fast it is. Those older R6's are very good, reliable bikes if they have been taken care of. They will run forever. Other than making sure the carbs are cleaned at the beginning of each...

    plug doctors, please have a look at my sparkies.

    Those plugs are too new to tell anything from, additionally I would want to see 2&3 before providing an opinion. Typically 1&4 share two things in common the coil (on older two coil set ups) and they are the coolest cylinders. Because they run cooler they can run a little leaner than 2&3 before...

    Any Supersport riders move to Supermoto?

    I bought a DRZ 400 last year, primarily because I wanted a bike I could ride on and off the trails. Then I bought supermoto rims, brakes and tires for it. I sold my 09 R6 in January because I no longer enjoyed riding it compared to the DRZ. My bike's not going to set any land speed records on...

    how old is too old?

    Maybe it is original, there are older bikes in beautiful original condition. Even if it is restored it doesn't really matter in relation to the OP's question. Nevermind ... it's older than 10 years you can't get parts for them.

    electrical problem?

    I don't know the 250 but the larger FZR's of that era certainly ran electric diaphragm pumps.

    electrical problem?

    What sort of bike? Some carbed bikes run an electric fuel pump. As they are electric diaphragm pumps they make a clicking type noise rather than a buzz from higher pressure fuel injection pumps.
