    Abandoned dirt bike on our property - guy won't pick it up... how long till its ours?

    I would run it to see if it is stolen, but if it wasn't there is no way would I give it to the cops. Your husband can place a lien on it under the mechanics liens act....or, if he hasn't done any work that the kid owes you money for, you can notify him that his storage has run out and that a...

    Bike will idle but won't accept any throttle

    Diesel would have similar affects on the bike but with more smoke and probably wouldn't at all. If you had to siphon it, you'd know diesel as soon as you smelled it or saw it. Diesel is more yellow than gas and is more oily and smells different and more strong of oil. Fresh gas is more clear...

    Sorry, I didn't know you were the strong sensitive type. Seriously, no offense intended. (The internet sucks for interpreting someones intentions when they write.) I dislike these particular bikes, not the co-bikers on this forum.

    Parts and distribution in USA...any assembly they do is likely just to get around the 200% or so tariff that the government is likely imposing on these when the hit the docks. No different than the auto companies do to avoid huge tariffs as well. In this case the pieces will come in a box and...

    WTF accidents in the GTA this week?

    I agree, it was a weird and stressful week driving in the GTA...I noticed a lot of aggressive drivers this week. An unusually high number IMO...I felt a measurable level of added stress. I had two fairly serious road rage incidents this week. After the first I was beginning to think it was...

    Indicated vs Actual Speed

    Honda cars just went through a big class action lawsuit over this...they were only off by 3% or so. Now that GPS are cheap to have everyone knows how inaccurate their speedos are. Don't forget, your vehicles warranty is also up 10% faster than it should be as well. Honda had to reimburse for...

    Who has the best selection of metric bolts???

    Try Fastenal, they are all over the place...or Spanaur in Kitchener. You may have to order it online. I had the same trouble with M12 fine thread for my bike, ordered them online and just waited a few days.

    Bike will idle but won't accept any throttle

    Popping or backfiring at idle is probably a symptom of it being lean. If your airscrew is on the airbox side close it a bit. What you can do is warm up the bike, set it to a fast idle, and adjust the airscrew to the max rpm (by ear in your case). Once it is adjusted for max rpm...that's it...

    Bike will idle but won't accept any throttle

    They restrict flow, particularly in a bike with a gravity-only feed. They are fine on bikes with electric pumps, but not on old bikes like mine. I tried one on my bike back when I didn't know better...all it takes is an air bubble in the filter and the bike won't even start. Sounds like his...

    Interesting, 15 minutes on google and we start to find out that these aren't designed or manufactured by these guys..."CPI" made these and wholesale them to "CCW". The Heist: http://qik.com/video/45750016 The Hooligan: http://qik.com/video/45749640 So, they are just buying bikes completely...

    Not sure why we have to provide "evidence" when it is right in their promo video...their entire manufacturing is in china. What they don't clearly state is that the manufacturing facility isn't even owned by them, it is all subcontracted work like everything there. Anyone else find it...

    Bike will idle but won't accept any throttle

    An inline filter can cause more problems than it is worth...I would say don't bother. Do everything else mentioned and rinse the tank a bit with fresh gas to get out any remaining particles. The filter sock on the top side of the petcock should stop anything that would bother the carbs, check...

    Drip Drip Drip... Culprit Found

    Maybe a super thin film of silicone would be ok, but in my experience people tend to way overdo it with the stuff. Use something recommended for Kawi. (Like Honda has Hondabond etc.) Excess silicone can be one of the worst things for your engine. Lot's and lot's of motors have been ruined by...

    Blinders on? I think you are the one with blinders on. Most of these, like Hyosung, are going to be piled up in the junkyard in a few years. I laughed through half that video...those morons doing "burnouts" on dirt. He keeps pressing the "Cleveland" button but the only thing from Cleveland...

    Warning. OPP Bait and switch tactics on the 401

    Personally to me it depends how suspicious it is...I would rather make a mistake and have an angry police officer than make the opposite mistake and get beaten down with a tire iron and/or have my bike stolen. I can always try to justify my actions to the police later...and in the worst case a...

    Warning. OPP Bait and switch tactics on the 401

    The biggest problem I have with undercover traffic enforcement isn't even to do with them directly. I'm concerned about impersonation...I have had 2-3 encounters with aggressive drivers who impersonated a police officer. At least in a convincing enough way that they never said they were, but...

    Warning. OPP Bait and switch tactics on the 401

    It's very simple to me...entrapment issues or not...they will never catch me doing even close to 150km/hr. I drive my car a lot for work, around 50,000km per year and my car is in the airport terminal parking half the time so that is saying something. I just sit to the right and set the...
