    May need to cancel insurance in March - best provider in this case?

    My mistake, March uses 5%, so it'd use up 5% of my coverage then to do this?

    May need to cancel insurance in March - best provider in this case?

    So I'm about to get insurance on my bike, but work has informed me there's a 50/50 chance I'll be gone from April 1st onwards. If that's the case, then I'll be looking to cancel my insurance while my bike sits parked. I was going to go with Meloche Monnex, and from Viffer's post it seems like...

    Turning 25 halfway through policy

    I'm turning 25 next April and am about to get a policy written. Are there any companies that might write a policy so I can take advantage of the premium drop next season?

    Suzuki dealership Markham area

    Hey, Was wondering if there are any Suzuki dealerships in the Markham area that service motorcycles? All I've called only deal with cars and Newmarket said they won't quote me without the bike present (long story...) So if anyone either knows who could help me quote out some parts that'd be great

    High Idle w/ Choke

    Mine used to jump to 5500....so yeah, it's fine. I'd actually let it warm up around that high and it was still fine.

    Lowsided 650r - next steps?

    You could always plastic weld them back together yourself, put some putty on the tank and paint her over. My plastic weld job was pretty good, you could run your hand over the area and feel nothing and the tank you could see a tiny lip where the putty met the tank. you had to get pretty close...

    cornering technique

    Seen Also no steering dampner, tire pressure is good. Guess I just get to hang off the bike around town like all my favourite racers do.

    cornering technique

    tires have about 80% tread left on them, and I think they are the stock brand. But I had bridgestones on the GS and it turned fine

    cornering technique

    Something I've been trying to fix myself but I haven't been having the greatest luck. I had a GS500F before and an SV650s now, before the bike just "went" into turns and as long as I maintained pressure on the inside handlebar I would stay in the turn no problems, now it's like no matter how...

    GS500 Idle Issue

    I had this issue when I'd go from highway speeds to city speeds, it was like the bike got used to having gas and then couldn't idle properly once the clutch was pulled in so I'd have to rev it through downshifts. I didn't find that messing with the idle knob helped but I did put a can of...

    To winterize or not to winterize?

    Don't start your bike every few weeks (as others have said) by product of combustion is water, which will then sit in your exhaust system and come back through your fuel lines, will cause rusting in the system since it will sit there unchecked and with no regular flushing like youd have if you...

    do you name your bike? if so what is it and why?

    only when I'm running low on fuel and past the point of no return. Then I whisper bike and baby to it to get it to make it to the next gas station.
