    Advice/Help on Engine Rebuild of an '03 GSX750F Katana

    I've been talking about rebuilding the engine on my Katana 750 for a couple of years now because I can hear what I'm sure is my timing chain rattling on take-off. After building a shed this summer, I'm finally freeing up space in the garage to give myself room to work, and I want to start on...

    Kobalt Liquidation!

    I just replaced all my 20v Dewalt cordless tools with Kobalt 24v after my dad found them at a liquidation centre in Brantford. These are being liquidated through Rona as well, but the liquidation centre has them cheaper. Roughly 33% of the full price whereas Rona is about 50% or less depending...

    What's your expirience with the Dodge/Ram Ecodiesel 3.0L, 2nd Gen (2014-2019)

    Does anyone have experience, and advice, for the Dodge Ecodiesel? I was warned against them so did a little research, since I'm in the market for the most fuel efficient truck I can afford. The Ecodiesel is more efficient then the v6 RAM and v6 Fords, and those Fords have a lot of issue I've...

    Any Hunters or bushcrafters?

    Are there any other riders here that hunt or do bushcraft? For possibly controversial reasons, I decided to learn to bushcraft, as well as to hunt. I've been watching bushcraft videos on YouTube for several years, and been slowly gathering equipment. I've also been watching tutorials on field...

    Rubber Nob? Help!

    There should be a rubber nob on my exhaust that prevents the center stand from rattling against it. It's gone missing. I don't now what is called so I used the best resource I know of to identify it, Partzilla. Unfortunately, as you can see on the attached screenshot, they failed to list it...

    Engine Swap - Keep Original?

    As a lot of you know, I have an '01 and an '03 GSX750F. The '01 is for winter use (not on the road this winter because the tank, carbs and other things are removed), and the '03 is for summer use. The '01 has about 50,000 kms and the '03 has about 65,000 kms. The '03 has what sounds like a bad...

    Cold Hands

    With the weather warming up, I'm looking to commute, on nicer days, on my bike. I didn't get my winter ride re-assembled this season, and without winter tires I didn't want to ride on cold wet roads, so I'll be using my summer ride without the heated grips and Bark Busters. I could move my Bark...

    Cold Weather Running Question (and history)

    I have an 01 Katana, and an 03 Katana. Overall, the 03 is in better condition, and was my original bike. The 01 was bought complete, but as a donor. I don't know if it was the exhaust or some other mechanicals, but I liked the sound of the 01 better, so last summer I switched to riding the 01...

    Aftermarket TPMS

    I was thinking of ordering a Tire Pressure Measuring System from Amazon (or Temu). But stated to wonder how they work. I assume the caps open the valve to measure the pressure and send the info to the display. If that's the case, could I trust the caps not to leak? That's a lot of pressure for a...

    Chain Lube

    Hello friends, I'm placing a Fortnine order, I need a set of barring for my front wheel, and thought I may as well stock up on a few items while I'm at it. Fuel filters and chain lube, for instance. I currently use Motul C2 Chain Lube Road. Before placing my order I thought I'd see if there's a...

    Showing off my work...

    I have winter tires installed on my motorcycle and don't want to switch tires every season so I picked up a use set of rims for the summer. They were stock black so I decided to pretty them up. The photos don't pick up the colours very well. They are red rims with reflective black and reflective...

    GSX750F vs GSXR750

    Does anyone know the differences between the early 2000s carbureted 750 GSXF and the carbureted 750 GSXR? I've heard a several random people say it's only the jets and exhaust, but I can't find confirmation, or otherwise, online. I know there are many differences in suspension and frame/body...

    Bad Driver, or ?

    What kind of person break-checks a motorcycle, especially in -15ºC weather? This guy is driving a Tesla, and I assume he break-checked me because my headlight was in his side mirror. If not, I don't know what other reason he felt he had. I guess it's possible it had nothing to do with me and he...

    Any Winter Riders?

    I've prep'd my bike to ride through the winter this year. This is my first time riding through winter. I think I've prepared pretty well, but I'm wondering if there are any other winter riders out there. Maybe we can share experiences and tips/tricks for a better, safer, ride. Good winter gear...
