Even after the accident I am only at $103/month :) I had been told that my rate would go down after the third year from my broker to its original $67/month I just wanted to make sure that the judgment wouldnt then highly increase my rates. I doubt they will drop me, my broker is a fantasticly...

So, this doesn't concern my motorcycle, but an accident I was in 2 yrs ago. I'm being sued for quite a large amount of money, we have coverage of course. I was at fault, and my insurance rates went up after the accident, and will be up for another year before they go down again. What I want...

Thats a damn good idea. I have a dremmel. I'll try that this weekend :)

Please? Pretty Please? With sugar...or maybe trans fat on top? I will reward you with beer, and wings.

So should I just run it for a few minutes to get it warmed up?

So... For the past week I've been trying to remove a SINGLE damaged screw from the cover on the oil pump of my little 2 stroke. I have tried easy outs/screw removal tool and I am now left with a screw that has a smooth hole in the end, and will NOT come the f out! Can someone who has removed...

Anybody have suggestions for getting the cylinder off the crank case?

thanks guys

The cylinder head on my 2-stroke suzuki is FILTHY. Soft deposits mostly. What is the best chemical to help dissolve this stuff away? Can I use acetone? The cylinder head is made of a soft aluminum. I plan on using a softer metal brush (brass apparently works without damaging the aluminum)...

Thanks for all the welcomes everyone! I'm really enjoying fixing up my bike... its nearly street legal now lol. Just have to get the headlight working. So far the process has been extremely satisfying. I may even go so far as to refinish the whole bike. Anyone know if any of the local...

Where in GTA can I get 1000-2000 grit wet/dry sandpaper?

Just wanted to update my thread here; I managed to dismantle, clean, rebuild, and re-install my carburetor. Bike runs very very well now. The fuel line was almost completely blocked with gunk where the line attached to the carb, and the float was sticking due to deposits inside the float bowl...

Who is Ted? I will most definately be getting the bike tuned up and carbs cleaned; it still has to be certified etc. For those interested, here is the wee little fella

Ok...good info here. The oil does not smell like gas, so I have left it. I bought a new spark plug today and the bike started right up. Problem; after first start, it wouldnt start AGAIN, check plug, again, WET! With black grease and whatever. Got the bike started again. It doesn't want to...
