If the squeal only happens when you apply the brakes, then in all likelihood, the pads are vibrating in the calipers. Take the calipers off, take the pads out and apply some anti-squeal to the back of the pads, then reassemble. Be extremely careful that you don't put too much on the back of the...

Does anyone in the Brampton/Mississauga area have a kickstand from a current generation CBR250 that I could borrow for a day? I'm trying to determine if the current gen kickstands will fit on my '87 CBR250. If you have one lying about, please send me a PM.

The Rizoma Zero 11's are listed in the GP Bikes catalog at $48 each. For some reason, I can't find any Rizoma products on their website. The Action looks a lit more like the Oxford ones posted above and GP lists those for $65.

This is how I wash my bike and car. The two bucket method helps to keep the amount of dirt on your wash mitt low so that you're not scratching the paint. First I wet the bike with the garden hose, then I use a wash mitt to wash the bike. I keep the bike wet with the hose until I'm ready to dry...

I am of the mind that if I'm slowing down to make a turn, I want to be absolutely sure that the car behind me can see my signalled intention. I bought Rizoma lights (available at GP) and they are bright. My riding buddies have told me that if they are close enough and at the right angle, they...

Definitely this. They might even ship one to you for free.

I believe the general rule is, as long as you're not crossing a lane of traffic, then you can make the right/left turn on a red light.

I'm still confused about this being a new or used bike. If the bike is brand new, then isn't the owner Kawi Canada or the dealership? Who is this "owner" that sold "your" bike? Which bike was it? If it's brand new, how are there not any more of these bikes in dealerships?

This is all in the newly paved section too. It wasn't that bad before they "fixed" it.

My address is in my profile. I assume that's how they know what time zone you're in. When I look at a schedule (e.g. the current motogp.com home page), there's a link labelled "Showing race local time (GMT +3)". If you click on that, it'll change to your local time (GMT -4). I don't know of any...

No way! I'm not watching this again! :D

Wow! I couldn't even make it through the first minute!

I need to get some bar end weights for my '87 CBR250R. On these handlebars, there is a threaded insert inside the handlebar tube. I believe it's an M5 thread. The simplest idea I had was to buy a set of bar ends for a current gen CBR250. Does anyone know what screw size is used on the current...

My work firewall blocks Dropbox. :mad:

I had to have a full M for a GSX-R750 a few years ago.

Are you the son of Escher?!

Any news on Aprilia or BMW?

I agree with Roomie's post. I have a Shoei RF-1000 that I've been wearing for years and I've never had a problem with my glasses. I just picked up an RF-1200 and they seem to fit without problems in it as well.

I built one for my bike and I find it's just really nice to have. Sure, you could keep track of what gear you're in, but sometimes it's nice to not have to think about it and just look at your dash to find out.

Local stores like Brafasco and Fastenal are good. Online places like Spaenaur and McMaster are also really good but I'm not sure if you can order items from them. They may only accept orders from companies.
