Took $2500 today and walked briskly into the house. I think a totally fair price for both.

As mentioned in the Reasonably Priced thread, looking to sell my motorcycle. Heading to SF and would rather spend the money I'd spend on insurance and maintenance on rentals when traveling and the occasional rental there. I'd prefer to sell in spring but we'll be leaving by mid-February so I'll...

Much appreciated for the opinion. I edited the post to mention that it does include the OEM exhaust as well; I've got it in the box the FMF exhaust came in.

I'm thinking of selling my KLX before moving to the west coast (USA). I'd rather not end up in the "Overpriced" thread so figured I'd run it by you here first. 2009 KLX250S 25,000 km Dynojet jet kit + FMF Q4 exhaust (this bike is lean from the factory, so bigger jets were necessary even without...

Finally had some time to put together a short film using the clips shot a couple of summers ago. Drone, mirrorless, and GoPro all represented. By the end of the summer I realized that picking up a bike multiple times a day in high humidity was difficult enough without having to deal with filming...

I figured I'd post here before putting on Kijiji. Looking to sell my Klim Latitude Misano suit (both the jacket and pants, separate is fine). I purchased it in late 2014 alongside my KLX. I've outgrown the jacket (literally) and I have a pair of Klim Mojave pants I've been using instead of the...

Sounds like everyone there was an amateur lumberjack yesterday. My favourite loop (Just north of Mercer Road) was closed off due to logging as doozerdave mentioned. Also answered my own question (in case anyone else was curious): no, they don't have any lockers at the Forest Centre.

Looking forward to this. Will take advantage of the weather tomorrow since Sunday looks like it'll be pretty rainy. As an aside, does anyone know if the Ganaraska Forest Centre has lockers? I don't recall seeing them, and it'd be nice to stow my luggage roll in a locker rather than having it...

Very late update for those still interested. I've realized that the bike really is just finicky when starting. I was planning on leaving it stock but I came across a new FMF Q4 muffler for $200. Picked up a Dynojet kit as well. I bumped the main jet to 120 (per the instructions), adding the...

Thanks for all the responses! I'll pull it this weekend and post a pic. The last time I checked it looked a bit lean. I put a fresh plug in since then so we shall see the result soon. That's correct; the Keihin CVK34 has a fuel screw. I found that backing it out from the factory...

Background: had carb issues in the spring (poor performance and took a long time to warm up). Got carb cleaned ultrasonically and this seemed to correct the issue. Though it came back a couple of months ago. Issue: When cold starting the bike, it takes a long time for the bike to idle smoothly...

It wouldn't be tempting to ride on the shoulder if lane splitting was legal here. One of the reasons I stopped commuting on my motorbike was because of the lack of legal lane splitting; after living in Asia and getting used to riding there it became an exercise in frustration just sitting in...

I keep checking back in this thread and feel like the title should be "MacDoc's Personal Winter Riding Journal" :) In other news, I'm slightly regretting wintering my Kawi in early November. In Korea, I'd ride year-round since I lived on the south coast. In Toronto, I'd pull my F800R out during...
