    Beware of brightly coloured dyes on leather jackets/suits

    I was watching an interesting video tour of the AlpineStars factory where MotoGP racer suits are made. The video was specifically showing Marc Marquez's suit. I found the bit at 6:16 particularly interesting. They show the results of an abrasion test between different thicknesses and colours of...

    Surprisingly Amazing service- Joe Rocket

    All of my jackets and pants are Joe Rocket. They make great gear. I wanted to buy a another set of zippers for my Speedmaster pants. I e-mailed them and the guy that responded to me told me he was going to be in the shop in a few days and he'd look for a zipper. A few days go by and he e-mails...

    Value of sv650?

    I would think a 5-year old SV would be in the $5,000 to $5,500 range, depending on condition and mileage. As you start getting older, I would think the price would drop to around $2,500-$3,000 for a 2004. I have a 2004 SV, s model, with about 45,000 kms on it. I would think it's worth no less...

    East York electrical help (ninja 250 turn signals dont work)

    Electrical problems can be hard to find which means it could end up costing you a bunch of money while someone tries to figure it out. As mentioned, doing some investigatory work yourself will teach you a lot about your bike. If you're going to go this route, then you really need a service...

    Testing flasher relay

    You'll need the proper pinout for that relay before applying power to it. Do you have a service manual for the bike? Does it detail out which pin is which? Or perhaps there's a wiring diagram?

    Helmets, what to get and why?

    I just looked at the Shoei website and was actually able to find something relevant. Shoei recommends replacement 5 years after the purchase date. http://www.shoei-helmets.com/Maintenance.aspx Helmet Replacement Ultimately, the useful service life of a safety helmet is dependent on the...

    insurance with 9 tickets?

    I agree with the previous posts. Insurance will be expensive. Kingsway handles facility insurance but taxis might be cheaper.

    Helmets, what to get and why?

    I read somewhere that helmets are generally good for around 5 years. I don't have any evidence or studies to back that up with though. I've been riding with my Shoei RF-1000 for 6 years now so I'm going to buy a new helmet for this season. I've found even after 6 years the helmet doesn't...

    New to Bikes, Forum, Need suggestions!

    To keep your battery in the best shape possible, it's best to use a battery charger that has a maintenance mode. This way you hook up the battery to the charger, and leave it alone for the winter. A lot of people will just give it a charge every 3 or 4 weeks. Personally, I like being able to...

    New to Bikes, Forum, Need suggestions!

    Congrats on the new bike! I wouldn't get too involved with valve clearances yet. Start with the simple things. You know the battery is new. Is it fully charged? Do you know you're getting fuel? If the bike has been sitting for a while, any gas in the float bowls in the carbs will have long...

    Headsets or not???

    I'll be buying a headset this year as well. As far as which model to buy, I've narrowed it down to the Sena line. I like the radio option on the SMH5-FM and the price (~$130) but the SMH10 has a lot of additional features. My plan is to wait until the 20S comes out to compare the size, features...

    You don't really expect fair and unbiased advice regarding this question on this forum, do you? I think all you're going to get is unfair and biased advice. Get a bike, don't get a bike, that's up to you. Everyone on this forum loves the sport and considers every moment we spend on the bike to...
