    Law To Allow Motorcyclists To Run Some Red Lights

    After realizing the sensors inability to change the light in your favor, it would be safer to observe it as a full stop, check for traffic,, yield right of way where and when necessary and continue then it is to make the right and then execute a U turn. At least while stopped you can safely...

    Suzuki RF600R running rich

    Hey Rob, thanks very much. 17 litre tank gets only 150 km before the fuel light comes on then another 20 km hitting reserve. Took it in for service including a carb sync tech advised it was running rich. I'll check out Z1 Cycletech. Thanks again. Cheers

    Suzuki RF600R running rich

    Good day all, I have a 1993 Suzuki RF600R with a Hindle slip on exhaust. Bike runs great although it is running way too rich and I would like to get it re-jetted however I haven't had the best luck with service shops lately (more about that in another thread). Can anyone suggest a reputable...

    Chain cleaning question...

    If you rode the bike for 10 minutes or so after cleaning the chain it would warm up the chain enough to allow the lubricant to adequately penetrate. A 10 minute ride to warm the chain after cleaning would not be long enough to cause any harm or damage to the chain so you should be fine. I've...

    Re-upholster a seat / Custom seats

    I picked up an office chair memory foam/gel pad at Costco for $16 and just cut the stitching of the fabric cover to get to the foam. I then simply removed the staples from the under side of the bike seat (not all of them....) just enough to peel back the vinyl. I trimmed the new memory foam to...

    Lake Placid NY

    Good day, I'm looking to make a run to Lake Placid NY next week and would like to know if anyone has any suggested routes that they could share. I would like to stay along the north side of Lake Ontario but I'm not a fan of the 401 so I'm willing to go south of Lake Ontario also. Any...

    Comfy seat for my F3

    Just came back from a week long road trip on a Suzuki RF600R. What I did was purchase an office seat memory foam/gel cushion from Costco for $16. Opened up the black fabric to get to the foam and trimmed the edges down to shape to fit the size of my seat. Just removed the staples from the...

    Adventure: Toronto to Vancouver via Canada and back via the USA

    Just got my 1st bike! A few questions....

    A couple of the best ways to deal with someone tailgating you is quite simple. Change lanes if you can safely do so. Second, increase the distance between you and the vehicle ahead of you. doing so will reduce or eliminate the chance that you may have to make a sudden stop as a result of that...

    Bell TV or Cogeco Digital?

    Cogeco is total garbage. I have had nothing but technical problems with phone and especially bad for the HDTV PVR. They go around in circles trying to fix it, show up late if at all, don't return calls etc. Their customer service is no better, the staff doesn’t know what they are talking...

    Jack Daniels Distillery tour

    Looking to head down to Lynchburg TN for the JD tour. I've heard road 219 out of Buffalo is a good route. Anyone done this trip down 219 or any other route down to TN that they can provide some insight to for route planning? Thanks.
