    Need A New Battery, Looknig For Recommendations

    Just a follow up question. If it is a bad stator how much are we talking about to repair it at a shop? Is it an expensive repair? I know if it's the battery a Yuasa battery is going to cost me about $84. I just don't want to be in for a nasty shock. No pun intended.

    Need A New Battery, Looknig For Recommendations

    Thanks I didn't think what I did and what he suggested would make that much of a difference. I'll charge up the battery tonight and the bike will probably sit all day tomorrow because of the rain/thunderstorm we're supposed to get tomorrow and then try starting it up on Sunday. I'll grab a...

    Need A New Battery, Looknig For Recommendations

    As soon as I got home Tuesday I hooked up the charger and as soon as I got home Wednesday I hooked up the charger. By Thursday I thought maybe I was in the clear and didn't charge the battery and this morning I went to start the bike and the bike struggled to turn over and didn't so I knew the...

    Need A New Battery, Looknig For Recommendations

    Thanks for the advice. I'll charge the battery and ride it to the shop or have CAA tow it over and have the charging system checked before I purchase a new battery.

    Need A New Battery, Looknig For Recommendations

    I first noticed the battery was dead on Monday afternoon so I bought a Noco Genius 1100 charger from CT and charged it overnight on Tuesday and rode to work Wednesday with no issue. To be safe I charged the battery again overnight on Wednesday and rode to work on Thursday with no issue. This...

    Need A New Battery, Looknig For Recommendations

    The battery on my 2008 Kawasaki Ninja 250 is not holding a charge so I think it's time to get a new battery but since I'm new to motorcycles I could use some help with recommendations. My friend's dad has an account with Spark Auto so I can a get shop discount so I just need to know which...

    Dead Battery?

    So I get on my bike today (2008 Kawasaki Ninja 250) to go to a dentist appointment and I hit the start button and the bike won't start. It makes a "wet fart" type of noise (best way to describe it). I haven't ridden in 7-9 days so from what I've learned by searching the GTAM forum and Google...

    Thoughts on my first commutes

    I'm the same way. I got my bike in September and just put it in winter storage last week. I took advantage of the HOV lane on Don Mills which made my commute to work a lot more enjoyable. The first few times out riding were really stressful and I was nervous but everyone told me I'd get over...

    Can anyone recommend a decent motorcycle cover?

    That looks good. I think a medium might be a bit big for my Ninja 250. Thanks for posting the pics.

    Can't knock this girl down

    Wow, I don't know if you're brave or crazy? Probably a little of both but aren't we all. Glad to hear you're okay and you're back riding. Be safe.

    End OF Season Depression

    I just got my GM2 in the mail this week and have only been riding since September. Just as I was getting more confident and able to relax and enjoy riding it's November and rainy. :( When I took my new to me bike for safety thinking everything was fine I ended up with a $1,000 bill for new...

    Thursday the 25th of October - get out there 22 degrees and some sun

    I'm a newb so I was just happy to be able to ride to and from work today, it's a quick 35 minute ride either way. About 4 guys on sport bikes blew by me going south on Don Mills south of Eglinton around 5:30pm It was great to see so many bikes out today!

    Can anyone recommend a decent motorcycle cover?

    Thanks. I've never heard of Nelson Rigg before. I only know of the brands I've seen around town like Gears or the ones I've Googled but didn't know what the quality was of any of these. Since my bike sits outside uncovered during the riding season I wanted a proper fitted motorcycle cover to...

    Can anyone recommend a decent motorcycle cover?

    I was using a tarp but it would flap in the wind and I'd have to use a bunch of bungie cords to tie it down that's why I bought a fitted cover. It kind of defeats the purpose of buying a cover if you have to put a tarp over it no? I went to Canadian Tire (CT) and they said they don't sell them...

    Can anyone recommend a decent bike cover they've had real life experience with? I did a search of the forum and found this link and a couple of others but not many comments on how well they work...

    Retaking the M1 exit test

    Sorry to hear that man. Myself and another guy got dinged on our M1 exist test for going too slow as well but they gave us the option to re-run one part of the test right then and there or to come back the following week and do the entire test again. We both re-ran one part of the test and we...

    Riding Advice

    I'm actually really looking forward to next season when I can ride for the entire season. I bought my bike at the end of August and got it plated in September so I've only been able to ride it for a couple of weeks. Like I said it's starting to become more fun and I'm building more confidence...
