    Steel balls inside vacuum hose - why?

    Took a quick look at the parts diagrams. It looks like all the vacuum lines are to eventually connect together and then go to the petcock. No balls or caps were seen.

    Ideas for beating noise meter

    sigh....more of this. Your pipe has to be stupidly loud to fail the SAE J2825 test. I have a REMUS Revolution GP without baffles (read not quite in the least) and I comfortably pass. Download a sound meter app for your phone and do the test. It will at least tell you if you even need to be...

    Mixing brake fluid Brands

    Its actually pretty fast to do motorcycle brakes. 1 wrench, 2 feet of tubing, a scrap container to hold the used fluid, 1 beer and about 10 minutes of time. Edit: As stated above and because it is worth repeating....do NOT mix DOT 5 with anything other then DOT 5. You do not want that mess to...

    Quebec elementary school bans homework for a year

    I actually think this is good. I would have liked to see it paired with year round school however. We are not talking about high school or university levels here. These are young kids grades 1-6. Let them be kids. Giving homework to kids has always seemed like the teacher downloading their job...

    Parking City Hall?

    I have to attend a series of meeting at Toronto City Hall this week and next week. Car is in the shop (sigh) and the TTC is not an option. Is there anywhere decent for motorcycles to park at City Hall? Not worried about cost as my work will cover that.

    Kawasaki Ninja H2...750 cc supercharged.

    I loved my H2.....mind I always thought it was actively trying to kill me. I don't know why they would bring the H2 badge back except for nostalgia. Displacements may be the same but it sure won`t be a 2 stroke.

    Relay for LED Signals

    Well I could not find anything specific under 108 (http://www.tc.gc.ca/eng/motorvehiclesafety/tp-tp13136-tr108-846.htm) I did see that 108 references SAE J1395 for flasher standard which then references SAE J590 for the flasher rate. I can not however find a copy of SAE J590 :(

    Disrepectful Trackday Riders- Don't Bother Coming Anymore!

    Agree with this completely. I started racing in my early 20's (damn I feel old now) and somehow manged to prep my bike and have it pass tech without a second glance each and every time I went to the track. It is not hard to do, doesn't take much time and it is known before you get there what is...

    Relay for LED Signals

    I looked through Motor Vehicle Safety Regulations (C.R.C., c. 1038) and couldn't find anything that actually governs the flash rate. Can you please point me to the section of the regulation.

    Reading spark plugs

    Honestly with just basically a slip on you rarely have to rejet. If it was a full system it would be a different matter. See how it rides. If you don't have hesitation or loss of power you should be fine.
