Is there a known reliable machinist or shop in the GTA for flywheel lightening? I had a guy in the states but he is no longer viable. Thanks!

The business I work for is charging $1.51 for a USD. Damn near everything we sell is in USD; if you think we're getting killed by our competition on estimates, you'd be right. Keeping my options open.

Honda minis rule this range. z50, z50r, xr50, crf50. Still in production and has been since late 60s. Major design changes: 1971 from hardtail to softtail 1983 longer stroke, dome piston, still 49cc 1988 plastic fuel tank, modern plastics, CDI (either 86 or 88) Shares engine cases with...

I'm 200Lbs and 5'11, riding a 87 CBX250. Fantastic fun in town and secondary highways, will run and hold 110 KPH easily, will push to 140 (full tuck, loooong run, low headwinds). It weighs 271 pounds wet. It's not a great choice for a 400 series highway as it gets pushed around by the wind...

It's entirely possible that I'm just getting ...old... and I'm transitioning... entering into old age and debauchery and leaving youth and enthusiasm. I still like to go fast, but I'm more selective about the venue. I must concur, I've seen that reaction from large truck / suv's before. My...

OK, I don't like to generalize but I can't help but notice that there seems to be be a common element (douchebaggery) in modern VW owners when it comes to road manners. I do about 50K KM per year with my work, see much of Ontario and there is an undeniable sense of entitlement (flash to pass...

Mounted on steel rims, 4 x 100mm pattern (was on a Honda Fit). You won't be disappointed, garage kept car, no signs of weather checking. Gtam price is $450.

My family has been single income for 9 years, tell me again what a recession is? I'm not too worried about environmental issues, hell my lawn went brown back in July - because I can't afford to water it as well as run out aging central air unit. Let's all take a moment and deal with the...

+1. I've heard Canadian Tire premium is ethanol free as well, but I'm quite certain that Esso premium has ethanol in it.

@ j2, I believe if you're already involved in a pension you can be exempt depending on the percentage of your pay contributed. Red liner said everything that needs to be said. Complete and utter ********, nanny state hand holding.

Proficient Motorcycling is about all you'll need for light reading on the art and some of the technical of motorcycling. It's not a great page turner as it's a compilation of articles, but the ideas and insight are invaluable, great drawings and photography to help illustrate points. This was...

Perhaps the ring that failed wasn't gapped properly.

Amsoil and Rotella T are no where near elitest enough for the BMW crowd. For those of us who buy our underwear at a department store, Rotella T will do just fine. $6 a liter at Walmart.

C & Dubbs, on Dundas between Dixie and 427, south side.

Pff, whatever. Everyone knows it's the outer carbs that are jetted differently than the inners. :rolleyes:

I was unaware this motorcyclist had passed away due to this incident when I made my post. I apologize to any whom might be offended.

Speed was not a factor. Force was 'the' factor.

The air / fuel mixture screw and Idle screws are the only ones requiring any attention in this manner. The pilot and main jets are simply bottomed out and torqued as required. Cleaning carburetors can be a substantial task, removing / reinstalling them from the bike is often enough to...

There were a few GW250s at the M1X rider course I took at Niagara College last year. Of the bikes present (TU250X, CBR250, XT250, CRF250L), it seemed to be the most versatile, and the only one that was 'highway worthy'. One of the riders managed to boil the rear brake fluid, but - he was a new...

Used to get waves from nearly every HD/cruiser until I started wearing this vintage lucky strike jacket. Now it's 1 in 3 maybe. Who knew smoking paraphernalia wouldn't cool with the burger bike crowd? I haven't touched one for years if that makes it better?
