I'd second that. What gear are you in when doing "130km steady"? I'm not familiar with the 959, but perhaps you're just out of the power band. If you're crusing 130km/h @5k or below, might explain the sluggishness you're experiencing. If all else fails, maybe you're just feeling underwhelmed by...

The more riding you can get under your belt prior to taking the M Roadtest the better. And you'll find the test easier. It looks like you have one year to get it: "Once you get your M2 licence, you have up to five years to finish the learning process. After five years, if you do not get your...

Yes, these boots are bloody expensive. I use Shoe Goo but for rebuilding the area of the sole worn-away from the footpegs. It tends to break down after a couple months or so of riding but it works. In your case, I've never seen the entire sole separate like that. I would try smearing a thin...

That's a cool mod but the bike has a "custom Italian made seat" and "roughly $7,000 of upgrades" - and it's listed for $10,000? If $7,000 was spent on upgrades why cheap out and not replace the front tire when the "brand new rear tire" was done?

No, that's that new speed trap camera the OPP are testing.

oh haha...[The DVP] not being straight. Sent from my SGH-M919V using GTAMotorcycle.com mobile app

Not being straight, I think it can be interesting at what ever pace you're comfortable. Sent from my SGH-M919V using GTAMotorcycle.com mobile app

The DVP ...when there's no traffic. Mississauga Road from Dundas St. to Glen Oaks Blvd is but a couple minutes of pure bliss, but only when there's no traffic. LOL Sent from my SGH-M919V using GTAMotorcycle.com mobile app

How much mileage on the bike with this particular chain? I would double-check: 1) both adjustment marks on the swing arm lined up; 2) the rear axle nut has been tightened to the OEM torque setting. If the bike was sitting for upwards of 4 years I might wonder about other potential contributing...

Go ahead and roll the dice, because buying a 1982 anything is a gamble. Parts availability? $1400 is a bit absurd. Sent from my SGH-M919V using GTAMotorcycle.com mobile app

Yes, tough business and may partially explain why there's now no centrally-located Kawasaki dealership (with a parts dept.) in the GTA. I suppose it's a similar predicament for owners of other brands (e.g. KTM, Ducati, Aprilia) — parts resources of the brick and mortar variety are few and far...

That's awesome! I'm curious, for each of your bikes, when did you replace the rubber parts of the brake master cylinder and caliper? I have a 2016 ZX-10R, the service manual says replace at year 4 or 48,000 kms — which ever comes first. I recently had the 24k service performed (all valve...

MadMike is correct, the interval is 24,000 kms. So your bike should have had it's 4th valve clearance inspection/adjustment at 96,000 kms. Was it done? LOL... I sound like a prospective buyer asking a seller questions about a bike's maintenance history.

Well thank your for clarifying. I am clearly not a Ducati owner. Sent from my SGH-M919V using GTAMotorcycle.com mobile app

Yeah, the Honda CrossTour is an oddball design. It's almost like the Pontiac Aztek meets the Porsche Panini --it's not an SUV --it's not a sedan --it's not a stationwagon. It's a blob. Sent from my SGH-M919V using GTAMotorcycle.com mobile app

Apparently the interval for valve clearance inspection/adjustment is 60,000 kms for Diavel models https://www.ducati.com/us/en/service-maintenance/transparent-maintenance So that puts your next check at 120,000 kms

I'm confused, you've hit the 100,000 or 10,000 kms mark? 24,000 kms sounds about right.

Impressive. Curious, what's the valve clearance inspection interval on the '12 Diavel?

It's strange, but if you live in the west end (let's say 401 & 427 area) you're now a good 35 kms away from Snow City and about 40 kms from Burlington Cycle for Kawasaki parts — Toronto, Canada's largest city. Utterly bewildering.
