    Re: tire warmers + generator?

    My Yamaha (naturally) 1000 watt non-inverter handles one set of Bickle warmers without a problem.

    Is there a good place to look for used units? Are they the AutoTrader books?

    I've heard good things about the Hyundai gennys too, Walmart has a 2000 watt for $550 I think, pretty good deal and 1/3 of what the Honda's go for (and they have a warranty as well)

    I've got that genny and I'm very happy with it. It's a Honda clone, not as quiet but still really quiet.

    How much gas do they burn per day? Roughly? Just wondering if it even has to be calculated into the amount of fuel I bring to the track?

    7L fuel tank gives you 5.5hours of total use. You could go pretty much the whole day on one tank.

    like anything you get what you pay for, but a cheap option is the 1300W genny at CDN tire, refurb ones are in stock at the queensway location for $150

    its loud though and to run two sets youll need 2, lol

    Not sure if you're still looking for one but I just picked up a honda 2000i in Buffalo last weekend for a grand. All said and done it cost me $1340 canadian plus a tank of gas. You'll definitely appreciate how quiet they are

    right now, I'm considering a Generac GP3250, as a replacement to my RV generator that died last time I tried to use it...anyone have any info or experience with the generac? Any idea how loud/quiet they are?

    Not looking to spend 1000+ on a genny right now.
