The Official Ongoing Kitchener-Waterloo and surrounding areas thread

Ok let's keep Sunday morning in mind weather permitting. We can post meet up place/time closer too?

I'm out for a motorcycle ride, but mountain bike ride:

Where: WCC "Hydrocut" trails, Glasgow entrance
When: Sunday June 3rd, ~10am
Duration: 1-2 hours, whatever you can handle!

Helmet and water required, bug juice and gloves recommended :)

Dave if the weather looks like its still going to rain on Friday for Sunday. Then I might be up for the hydro cut. This fatty needs to shave a few.

On a side note:

I need a good pair of gloves. Well I have good gloves but they're uncomfortable. Looking for suggestions and places to pick up a pair. Thx

I presume your stator looked okay. Have you checked your idle voltage to be sure it's all good?

I put a new (used) stator and cover on (Stator that was in there had a short), Tested everything before and after and it is running good. Just waiting on the inner handlebar weight and have to switch over the clip-on.
Should be a quick job as long as my heated grip comes off easily....

Crap, you know I hadn't even considered that if we get all the rain they're forecasting the Hydrocut might be a mudfest. Was in there last night and it's so dry that it's getting really loamy at the edge of the trails, so maybe the rain will make it perfect.

I really like the LG Biogel ErgoAir gloves. Very light and cool with decent palm pads. I'm not sure who has them locally, maybe Ziggy's? The last time I bought them was in Vermont at the outlet. haha...

Sounds good. I know you know what you're doing, but I had to ask :)
 
FYI seeing a lot of 125 & 250's in kw lately.

Sorry guys. I'm out for Sunday for both biking and riding. I was reminded my presence is requested in London. :(

I would compare this to Tony's regular price at Blue Streak..... He's about $50 less than Sandy, installed on your rims! (120/190)

Oh how I hate Zdeno's, So I took the bike for a ride yesterday and checked to voltages to see if the battery was charging and they were off, So I pulled the stator plugs to find out I had a short in the stator zdeno sold me, Pulled the stator out and looked and tucked under the grommet all 3 wires were completely frayed.
I got my old stator out and am going to put that one back in but now I have to try to get my money back from zdeno's for selling me a broken part, and what I have heard about doing that I better have some damn good luck as I have heard it is never their fault when they sell you a broken part with the damage hidden.

Look at your receipt - it'll have a big "SOLD AS IS" stamp on it... really hope they honour the fact the part was bad.

Had the boys (i.e. Doozer, Smergy, GS500F) over this weekend to do a motor swap in my track bike. Dropped the old motor no probs. Started getting the new one prepped when we realized the stator and magneto rotor we removed from the new motor. When I bought the motor, they said "Motor Only, no starter, throttle bodies and the likes." I figured everything external would not be included, but everything inside the casings would be. Swap ground to a halt with the new motor mounted. Couldn't get the rotor out 'cause we didn't have the puller tool. So, hopefully I can borrow one from a guy I know and get get it all buttoned up again this week...

Praying the rest of motor works fine and fires up right away.

On a positive note, the oil that was in the motor looked good and was pretty clean.

The receipt is basically an CC transaction slip, No mention of what part or stamp "As-is".
I assume if they have another they will just want to swap it out which does me no good either as I finally got my old one out and it is in good condition, So I basically just want my money back (Which might be a long shot).

Good luck on your motor starting when you get to that point!

If you paid on your CC call them and see if they can do anything for you.

I talked to them but I don't have my CC on me as my gf has it because she went there today to return it.
I can see maybe not giving the money back for it but the rudeness we both got from them along with the we aren't going to do anything for you mentality is what ****** me off.

Like if it was my business I would take the part back and at least give an in-store credit, Then they make double profit compared to none from me ever again.
