As in, can anyone on the forum vouch for the Peak anti-vibration system working as intended? Single-cylinder engines inherently produce more vibration than multi-cylinder engines, so if your iPhone camera managed to get fried by a inline 4, I'm a bit worried. Not sure if I should pull the...

Anyone have experience with the anti-vibration system on the PeakDesign? I've heard that big thumpers (like my DR) have a reputation for killing iphone phone cameras...

Anyone manage to find a discount code? Seems like presto isn't offering one this year (auto show only).

Thanks for the reply GreyGhost - I'd be happy to do the work myself (I love tinkering and have already done the basic stuff i.e. oil change)... but the issue is, I don't have a garage or the full set of tooling I'm assuming I'd need. Could take a while for the parts to arrive too (I'm thinking...

Starting a new thread in order to not derail the "Dual Sport Routes near GTA" thread (where I was panic posting last evening). Long story short, bike died on an uphill segment. I'm looking for advice on how to tackle the issue - or if there is a good mechanic I can take the bike to near...

Just getting into town now - will try my luck at the Old Mill. Good idea re: the sensor. Will have a look assuming I return to the bike tonight. These shorter days really aren’t working in my favour.

Embarrassing to post this, but seems like my DR650 won’t go into gear without stalling/engine wasnt delivering power to the rear wheels before I turned it off. Anyone near Creemore with an ATV? Stuck on the last part of the Creemore trail (the uphill segment before the left turn onto Nottawasaga...

Try co-operators for insurance - it was $200 cheaper than the next closest competitor when I was shopping around this year (I got quotes with all the companies you listed above). Their online estimate is quick and accurate.

Hi All, Just bought a pair of Gaerne Fastback Enduro boots - hoping to do some trail riding this season on my DR650 (but nothing too intense). Issue is... they are a bit snug in the toe cap (i.e. my toes scrunch up if I kick the floor, and there's some pressure on the inside forefoot), and...

Back when I was shopping for insurance for my first bike, I noticed a few trends: - Quotes were relatively identical for bikes 400-300cc, regardless of style (~$1200-1300 for me, a 32 year old with no prior insurance history) - There was a big jump in yearly premium for bikes 500-600cc (up to...

Studio Cycle in the junction rents gear: Equipment Rental - Riding Gear (I used them for my M2 course + exit test).

Noobie question - I'm looking to do my first oil change on the 'ol DR650. Any recommendations on who to buy the discounted oil from - or do all vendors price match with each other?

Hi GTAMotorcycle, Looking to purchase my first bike - haven't had much luck with dealership stock, so figured I'd try the community. I'm a larger guy (6'2, ~190lbs), and I've had a decent fit on bikes such as the Honda CB500x and KTM 390 Adventure. I'd like something that is able to handle...

Hi All, Apologies if this is a little too specific to post in the main forum (maybe I should be posting in the "first bike: which one" thread?). Looking to get my first bike this summer - limiting it to 500cc or less for insurance purposes. After doing a bunch of research, I'm heavily...
