    battery charger

    That thing charges too high for our power sports batteries. You don't want to exceed 1/10 the amp hour rating of the battery. Your better off with something like an optimate 3. Pay a little extra for the charger. You get what you pay for.

    I see no mention of a drag bike before my post. Please tell me how I was to know that? Just saying.

    BMW vs BMW vs BMW vs BMW vs BMW

    I don't think the video shows the actual runs. I don't think they would have short shifted the S1000RR into 3rd before they really applied power for a real run. Rubbish? Maybe....

    Powder coating a swing arm

    Actually I do. There's a place called Westex Coatings on Colby drive in waterloo. We use them for all our powder coating for the shop. When you go in there will be a stair case to the left. Go up there to the office and have a chat with them. You do realize what an extended swingarm will...

    How to Become a License Motorcycle Mechanic in Ontario

    Don't do it. IF you live in toronto, and your flat rate, you might make some ok money. But if your out of the city, it's not enough. I'm a tech in waterloo, and the pay is a joke. That and getting laid off or working just a few days a week makes it really tough in the winter. Taking home a...

    Crappytire strikes again!

    I don't think he was questioning the cost of the repair, as much as the fact that now he has to shell out 400 bucks for something he feels shouldn't have happened.

    Need to borrow front end stand to turn around front rim in Peterborough! ASAP lol

    There should be a direction arrow on the rim. If the rim is actually installed incorrectly, and you want to turn it around, you can use the rear stand to balance the bike and just throw a jack under it. That will bring the front up for you.

    Bike Warm up

    my 02 cents... It's not so much about the engine being warm, although dumping a lot of heat into it right away is bad, so don't right hard right away. But it's more about the oil. It takes time for the pump to pump it up to the head, and I prefer to have oil circulating through the engine...

    How do you guys check your tire pressure?

    note that you should always be checking your tire pressures cold. You'd be surprised how much it will fluctuate with only a little heat in the tires.

    Chain lube

    I personally use Motul Chain lube, obvioulsy the road version. The Tyrox stuff is really good as well.

    Are the Speedo and the RPM gauge correct?

    The call on Biaggi was most certainly NOT BS. In the riders meeting of that race, the officials told the riders that there was a painted line which they had to stay on if they over ran that corner. Biaggi being Biaggi decided he is too important to go to that meeting and as a result didn't...
