    Quietest modular helmet?

    I have a Schuberth C3 and generally like the idea of modular helmets. The Evoline caught my eye with its Transformer-esque features however I read some complaints about it being very noisy due to the lack of tight sealing neck gaskets. I don't know if it's wind noise or resonance they were...

    Crf250L wont start? Can it be Bumpstarted? How? Possible Problems?

    Wasn't really cold enough to freeze anything? Fuel pump priming? Gas present? Lights working? My bike fired up easily today. If you are the CRFL in the Chinatown area and need a hand, PM me and leave your #

    Higher bars or bar risers? Brace or no brace?

    I prefer risers myself. Had a set of 2" Rox risers on my WR250R when I had it. The beauty of risers is that it is an easy install and you can back out said install easily if the cables are stretched too much or don't reach at all. That's not readily obvious when going with taller bars...

    Fall Colours

    Just got back today from a weekend in Algonquin Park. Not that I counted but seemed like maybe 1 in 50 trees had colour change?

    Plating an Enduro

    No experience with this however extending the logic that the bike has never been green plated in ON means that a bike with a 17 digit VIN might have a fighting chance of being blue plated here. That is a big chance to take though if you absolutely need to ride it on the road. Do note that...

    Value of Parking Ticket: $150

    Here's my story from a month or so ago in downtown Toronto. I pleaded "not guilty" to a "no standing" ticket and was subsequently asked by the judge if my vehicle was there. My answer was "yes" and, as I understood it with that judge on the stand, I had no chance whatsoever so long as the...

    New dual sport bike buying help?

    I cruise at 70MPH all the time on my WR. Bone stock, she's quiet and not buzzy and engine is hardly working When you hit 80MPH, it starts labouring. I've seen an indicated 150kph (93MPH) on a windless day on flat ground while bone stock. It's definitely not a highway cruiser but from what...

    One concern about Motorcycles

    Some condos will give you the opportunity to install an anchor http://www.steveszone.co.uk/bike/bike_page_pictures/security/wall_anchor_iso.jpg on a wall behind a parking spot. That might dissuade them... or not.

    Seat shaving? Vs lowering a bike?

    As someone else mentioned, if you are not too aggressive on the bike (don't plan on any footpeg scraping antics any time soon), perhaps suspension lowering might be the way to go. Maybe check your bike forums to see how others with your bike feel about lowered suspension on their rides...

    Best dual sport or something along those lines?

    Unfortunately, one can't just put the factory WR250R dirt wheels onto a factory WR250X supermoto because the WRX250X has a bigger front caliper/rotor combo than its WR250R dirt counterpart. I narrowed my decision down to either a DRZ or a WR. I was after a year round travel bike that might...
