If you are near Brampton I would recommend frekeyguy (GTAM handle). Fiaz has done great work whenever I have needed it, he will pickup your bike as well, very reasonable rates. He'll discuss with you options and keep you updated on progress, and also point out issues and let you decide your...

Your bike is spooled at the rear so it's pretty simple, Cdn Tire sells a perfectly functional set, never heard of Asphalt Surfer stands but it isn't rocket science. You have a plethora of options, best would be to pick up something pre-owned for a price/performance advantage.

frekey is located in Brampton just north of Kennedy and Sandalwood, just PM him and talk to him, great guy with great service

I have a 1990 honda cb-1 also known for crappy regrec's I just replaced it with a Mosfet regrec Shindengen FH020AA (you can buy it as a kit and install it, and is probably one of the most popular regrec upgrades) http://www.roadstercycle.com/ is one place to get a kit, once installed mine has...

yep give us a location...as for turning keep in mind that you go where you look, as a new rider I will assume your speed will be slower so this should not be an issue. That being said, once in the turn slowing/braking will tighten the turn and adding speed/throttle will widen the turn, try not...

The ninja is fine on the highway, many have had their bikes near or at top end without any issues. yes wind does move your head around and severe cross winds will affect you like it does on most bikes. It's all a matter of learning the aerodynamics of the bike while you are on it. For straight...

Awesome stuff, love that the AC45's are not as constrained in the wind maximum's as the AC72's. Looking at the training AC45's with foils I wonder if that's the next move for AC45's. Still can't believe 100' cat's doing pretty much 60 mph+, coming from years of windsurfing and some sailing in...

Imo I wouldn't go bigger, the bike is light and maneuverable it is also only 125cc and many heavier bikes do just fine with a similar footprint of rubber, the larger tires take more effort to spin up which slows accel. they also carry more gyroscopic effect which will reduce how maneuverable the...

On my 250 I switched to bt-016's as I sacrificed the longevity for the traction gains. On my other bike (cb-1) i'm also on radials as I find the ride is definitely improved with the more supple sidewall compared to bias ply.

Radials tend to have more supple side walls plus they have the newer rubber technology as they are the new tech for tires..blah, blah. That being said given your riding habits/style bias ply would be fine. Grippy rubber doesn't last as long and generally doesn't do well in colder temps. Sport...

You need to decide btwn bias ply or radial. There is more choice on the bias ply side than radial. If you choose radials then sport tires give you the widest brand options.

stay with the 110 front, a 150/60 rear will be fine, just confirm the rim width is suitable. I wouldn't advise going bigger than that though.

what year is your bike 08+ ?

bingo!! Also I find that drywall driver bits (#2 I think) seem to hold better in JIS than regular Phillips drivers (as in Can Tire, Rona, dollar store). The profiling might be closer to a JIS driver.

It shouldn't be oil related if the oil levels are proper(assuming a regular oil change prior). Have you confirmed proper charging from the stator to the battery as mentioned previously(it seems too new for this to be an issue though)? If that's good then I still suspect the battery. You...
