    Where to buy oil/filter for Honda Cbr, other than dealer?

    Went to crappy tire and walmart. The Shell Rotella 10w-30 says for diesel engines. I looked it up for the cbr500r, and a lot of people say they use that, but...It's for diesel engines?

    Plasti-dipping my bike, color suggestions?

    Wouldn't tank pads prevent the rubbing? You make a good point though, maybe I'll just dip a few things with black.

    Plasti-dipping my bike, color suggestions?

    Despite all of the comments saying not to do it, I came up with a paint scheme that I sort of enjoy. Here's what I came up with in photoshop - https://imgur.com/LY3IOpf Don't mind the brighter colored orange on where the metal is, I couldn't get the hue/saturation to match with the other...

    Who's still riding? (Fall 2017 / Winter 2018 edition)

    Went out last weekend when it was around 1-2 outside. Didn’t see anyone else riding, but got quite a few thumbs up. Hopefully heading out today if the rain holds off, if not, sunday-tuesday

    Plasti-dipping my bike, color suggestions?

    I’m in the same boat as you. Havent been able to keep any of my vehicles stock. My current truck has 12 grand worth of aftermarket parts on it. I have no self control.

    Plasti-dipping my bike, color suggestions?

    It’s just the standard grey color that the 2015 CBR500R came in. It’s never been dropped and has less than 5k kms on it. I don’t mind spending a couple hundred bucks on the bike, since I’ll probably be keeping it for at least 2 more seasons. I know mods don’t increase the value of it, but I’d...

    Plasti-dipping my bike, color suggestions?

    Hey all, After deciding to keep my 500R, I’ve decided I want to out a but of money into it, like getting eliminator kits, levers, blah blah. My question for you guys is, what colors do you think would pair well? I’m a fan of blue and would like that to be the main focus of the bike, but for...

    New rider, M2, upgrading to 600cc, who to call?

    $2300 for insurance on a CBR650F is what I got quoted. I’ll probably just end up keeping the 500R for this season so I at least get a year in under my belt so the insjrance will go down next season when I upgrade.

    New rider, M2, upgrading to 600cc, who to call?

    Appreciate it. I just emailed my broker about getting a quote for the CBR650F, hopefully it's not a blacklisted bike. Seems like it could be my next bike if all things go well.

    New rider, M2, upgrading to 600cc, who to call?

    My only problem is that I'm 6'4'', so I'm trying to find a bike that I can also ride comfortably, which is why I need to be slightly picky with the type of bike I choose. The CB650F looks like a grom, but that could also just be cause of the picture. This is the list of "NON BLACKLISTED" bikes...

    New rider, M2, upgrading to 600cc, who to call?

    Mainly the sound. My bike is already fast enough to cause me some trouble. My current bike is only 2 cylinders and reminds me too much of a dirt bike rather than the iconic 4 cylinder sport bikes that just sound beautiful.

    New rider, M2, upgrading to 600cc, who to call?

    Broker got back to me.. $3800 per year IF I bring over a house and car to add onto their insurance. He gave me a list of bikes that aren’t “blacklisted”, but I’m more interested in the super sport bikes.. For obvious reasons. Guess I’ll be sticking with the 500 for awhile.

    New rider, M2, upgrading to 600cc, who to call?

    I’ve already emailed my broker, so I’ll see what he has to say. I spoke to a motovlogger from Youtube who said he was pay 2600 a year for a 600RR. I think he had similar riding experience.

    New rider, M2, upgrading to 600cc, who to call?

    Hey everyone, I’m a new rider, just started riding last fall and currently have a CBR500r. I’m looking to upgrade bikes to a GSXR-600 this year and was wondering who you guys suggest calling. When I was first insurance shopping, I asked 3 companies for a quote on a 600, and they all said they...

    Where to buy oil/filter for Honda Cbr, other than dealer?

    I think this belongs in this section. I'm almost certain places that I get my oil for my truck, such as, Canadian Tire, Walmart, etc, don't carry motorcycle oil/filters. Is there anywhere around the Burlington area that I can get oil/filter for my Honda CBR500R? Or do I have to make the trip...
