Title pretty much covers it. I still have my previous bike that was ride able until about 2014 when I managed to strip the oil filter cover studs. Torque wrenches are sadly useless when the manual just says not too tight. Been sitting in an attached garage since. I have 3 options in mind...

Driving into work this morning, I was stuck in some stop and go traffic. I heard a yell behind me, vaguely felt a bump, and looked in my mirrors to see a van very close behind me. I wasn't even sure he hit, but noticed him driving very oddly. An exit later as traffic cleared, I moved over to the...

It seems we have a few members here whose work brings them into traffic court regularly. I'm curious if any cases have come up where a dash cam recording of an incident has been used as evidence? I'm also curious what rights you would have if an officer requested the device? Would they require...

My '14 CBR650F is due for its first service (~1200KM), and I was quoted ~$350 bucks. The service guy mentioned it would need some time to cool down if I rode it in, as they do a valve check. And the valve check being part of the higher cost. Being this is my first new bike, and first FI 4...

I'm of the mindset to avoid involving insurance in any instance the cost are under 4-5k. But I'm curious what coverages/benefits you can make use of that won't cause your premiums to go up? It seems like even accidents that are 0% your fault tend to go against you since you seem to have bad...

Well I feel a bit bad. I took two guys new to riding this year out for a scenic ride through Ancaster/Dundas. We never made it to Dundas. In retrospect my casual pace of 50-60, was still probably a bit fast for newer riders in some of the turns there, and the left turn just before the two really...

Sitting here at work and a squirrel comes by looking for a place to stash a nut. It jumped up my chain guard and onto the rear tire, then crawled along the chain guard and decided wedging the nut between the case and the front sprocket was a good spot. I suppose its better than a mouse building...

I'm seeing two methods for checking the valves clearance on a GS500. The manual says to align the notches on the end of both cams so they point inwards, then check 3 of the 4 clearances. Then you rotate the engine so the notches face away, and check the final one. The other method I've seen...

This just got put in recently at Paramount and Marston. http://maps.google.ca/maps?q=Stoney+Creek,+Ontario&hl=en&ll=43.193253,-79.799135&spn=0.003289,0.00545&sll=43.218639,-79.76596&sspn=0.026302,0.043602&t=h&z=18 Of course it takes people a while to figure out that a new stop sign works...

I'd rather not openly ask about some questions I have, so if someone from the industry could PM me, I have a few quick questions. Thanks.

Ask the title says, Its been suggested that I replace my chain. I believe its the original as I bought the bike at 18k kms, and its now at 42k. I've asked one shop so far and it was 180-200 for the chain, they also suggested new sprockets, at 120 for both. Shop hasn't actually seen the chain or...

Since my trial is coming up very shortly, I figured I'd post up the information I have on it now before I post the conclusion after trial. I was charged with going 15 over (reduced) in a 90. It was an unmarked police car, using its rear facing radar (Stalker DSR 2X). The officer claimed my...
