I've done the at-home method of just working it gently with a long screwdriver and hammer. If you are interested in the tool, places like PartSource will loan you the tool for free. The catch is you have to leave a deposit of full price of the item. You get 100 Percent* of it back once you...

People have already been camping out Apple stores for about a week now. Release date is sept 20th. Three weeks of camping a store just to say they were one of the first to own one...effing sad. Either they are skipping work, using up all their vacation days or are unemployed. If it's the last...

I would think that center groove in picture #4 should have slots on it just like the rest of the treads on either side. My vote is strongly for replace as well. Newer tires will work better, those look stiff.

Last day of the season? Wut? Are you the guy that puts the xmas lights and decorations up as soon as kids go back to school? Summer ends Sept 20th. Last year we had some 15C days all the way into late november. January had a freakishly warm day too, I remember going out with 5 other riders.

It's also full synthetic. In a sealed jug it would be more than fine.

I thought the same thing when I saw the title.

Um, Krypton. I thought it was a well known part of Superman's origins.

I recently tested mine. It has a 6-7 Percent difference between speedo and gps-calculated speed. Also changing sprocket sizes will affect some bikes. It depends where the reading comes from. My bike reads from the transmission, sprocket size change will affect me. My previous bike took speed...

Quick overview: Needs absolutely nothing. Runs flawlessly. Safetied sept 10th (good for 36 days), have UVIP in hand. Just did a trip to Montreal and back Aug 30th-Sept 1st. Well taken care of, new rear tire sept 8th. More details of the bike can be seen on my kijiji ad. Asking 3900$.

Nah. The bike's plenty fun as it is. It's just a toy/daily rider. Don't need to set landspeed records with it. In regards to topic, I was curious to try the Cross Plane R1.

I personally dislike all these electronics tampering with the machine. Applies to 4-wheeled vehicles too. Thanks for all the info, makes me feel better about my choice of bike. My limited budget was the primary factor originally though, lol.

Makes sense, coincides well with what I felt. Didnt really have a chance to bring it to the "kick in the pants" range though as the demo was full of cruisers, and also led by one. When I first learned about the fly-by-wire stuff for the 06+, i knew it was badnewsbears. I guess Yamaha is just...

I tried the 2013 R6. Compared to my 2003, its gutless in the lower rpm's, very forgiving on a demo ride where you wont get a chance to open her up. I was a bit disappointed really. The throttle-by-wire crap is actually annoying. On my bike if i snap the throttle a bit it winds nicely. On the...

I was at the Clare's Yamaha demo as well. Got rained on pretty good during 4th ride. I had tried the three i signed up for so i didnt stick around to see if they cancelled the rest of the event or not.

Yes, order right now. I ordered my new rear tuesday around noon, was at my door thursday (yesterday) at 1pm.

Second picture shows you are pretty close to the center wear bar. Mileage-wise you should be ok but should be prepared to put on a new one when you return. Dont forget the center of your tire is thinner so it's easier to puncture. Something as simple as a decent size stone with a sharp edge...

The Dainese held up because it uses real leather and it's not paper thin. You have to sacrifice a bit of throttle feel to use them. The street versions of gloves provide great feedback from the bars and still help compared to no glove at all, but they aren't designed for 200kmh+ slides like...

Another benefit to the second gen is fuel injection. I have an 03 with 46000kms now, still runs great. Since March i've done 13000 so far. I do spend time maintaining the machine though and have replaced many things as part of maintenance.

Nothing wrong with a gs500. It's a basic bike so expect the basics. Just like any other bike, take care of it and it'll last a long time. The gf has one and i do the maintenance for her. Other than oil changes, the only thing I had to change was the signal relay (very slow blink issue). A...

Definitely new tires. Pretty sure they will be way past the allowed age. A sitting vehicle that acquires no mileage for such a long time is just as much a gamble as the same age vehicle with incredibly high mileage. I'd pick the high mileage one for the fact that parts have been moving and...
