Hey all! Friends and I just finished repairing an in-cockpit outboard engine well on our 25 foot sailboat. The mount was fully rotted away so we re-cored and rebuilt the fibreglass mount for the motor (which is a Tohatsu 6hp 4-stroke for those wondering). I don't imagine anything is different...

I've touched on this in previous posts, but after a bunch more research am still coming up pretty empty handed so looking to start a dedicated thread to troubleshoot. This doesn't seem to be related to the tune or pipe, as I've read of this issue on various bike configurations. Basically in...

I’m working on re terminating connections on new turn signals and tail light to an aftermarket loom that goes to the back. Basically I spent good money for a kit with spade and bullet connectors on Amazon that came with a crimp, and the tool has a tendency to chew up terminals and some of them...

Hey all, I'm selling a bike this week, and wondering if the purchaser can still get it registered as unfit, but be able to ride with a 10 day grace period to get a safety? Since stickers are not a thing anymore, I'm not sure if this is still possible. Would appreciate any info if you know how...

So I got a 2015 Triumph Scrambler 900 last summer mid-policy, and had a slight change to my rate upwards to account for it which is understandable. By a few bucks a month maybe Just got a renewal offer from Desjardins for 2023 - I am entering my 5th year of riding next year, am 25 years old now...

Decided to try staving off the winter depression this year by getting a console for games and a TV to watch movies and shows. Netflix on a laptop in bed feels bad after a while.. Opted for a cheap 50” 4K TCL that seems to have decent enough reviews. Not really into Gaming or TV enough to spend...

Hey everyone! I’m looking to turn off the AI solenoid on my 2015 Triumph Scrambler, as well as confirm or upload the correct map for the exhaust that is on it, as I’m not sure if it was done before. I’m totally new to EFI stuff and don’t really wanna mess it up, so was hoping someone may be...

Just picked up another bike. Bit of a spur of the moment decision, but can't wait to be a little more comfy at higher speeds on my camping trips. First time with EFI since my CBR125 in my first year of riding, so I am excited to have a little less maintenance and more fueling consistency in that...

I am musing about getting a second bike, or replacing the one I have... Possibly... Just feeling things out for now. Looking at an '09 and '11 Triumph Scrambler 900 in Olive/Green. Seem to be around $6k on Kijiji right now. Hoping to get it for $4500-5000 realistically... Love the look, love...

Cyclist carjacked woman on Gardiner Expressway, police say It seems like it's every few days that something absolutely bonkers happens in the city lately. The GTA we experience in real life is really starting to feel like the GTA we are used to playing on consoles... Feels like every day we...

Hey all! Finally changed my front brake line to stainless on my 2000 KLR. Feels nice to be able to stop!!! I noticed this issue last year when I topped up my brake fluid, and now it happened again. After riding for a while, I see some fluid leaking up out of the cover at the top. Brake...

So I thought this was something that only happened in the movies. I mean, I'm kidding, but when I got the questionnaire a few months back, I didn't think that I'd win (lose?) the lottery and get selected. Some preliminary research showed me that employers are not responsible for covering your...

So I finally got my bike together with the new piston and freshly worked head, and noticed that the flange on my FMF Powerbomb Header (KLR650) is now bent. It still goes on to the studs, but takes some force. I torqued the acorn nuts to factory spec (15ft/lb), and the flange is even more bent...

It seems the more I read the more confused I get. This is what I have read about so far. Would appreciate your personal experiences working on gasket surfaces on Aluminum - what methods you used, techniques, etc. 1) Some people say use a razor at an angle to get gunk off. This will often cause...

I figured I'd post this here instead of technical - though it's kind of somewhere in the middle! My bike needs lots of love before the spring. I'm overdue on an oil change (still need to find a smaller jug of T4, or lug a massive pale home), I need to do a 685 bore (KLR life) because I drink...

Maybe this is only an issue for my oil-burning KLR self. But I've noticed I cant find Rotella T4 in Toronto Canadian Tires other than the HUGE 18L pales, for which I'd also need to invest in a transfer pump... Anyone happen to know anything about this? Do you think they are phasing it out, or...

So I’ve been having to go to the island quite a lot lately, and have a very hard time finding free parking on Queens Quay. Everywhere else in the city I just park on the street and it’s no problem, but QQ has no street parking and is incredibly touristy. If anyone has any tips on where to...

Hey All! Was chatting to some friends about getting a comms system sometime for our trips. Not a fan of the Cardo et al. as it seems range is not great, and price is steep for the comparatively awful sound quality (god I love my Shure SE215s....). We are thinking of rigging up a DIY CB Radio...

I'm sure many of you here are involved in the skilled trades, so I'm just posting to see if some of you may be willing to share some of your experiences / thoughts about the industry, how to get into it (is now even a good time to get into it?), and what I should expect and consider while making...

Please delete if this was posted already, though I didn't see it on this sub. READ HERE "Licence suspensions also increase if you’re convicted of the charge. For your first offence, you’re without your licence for a minimum of one to three years; for your second, it’s a minimum three to 10...
