    No I have not got the boots yet. I phoned them this past Saturday and was told again that Daytona said they shipped their order, which included my boots, approx. 2 - 3 weeks ago. Must be on a slow boat. This unexpected good weather is not helping. LOL. March 22 update: Naaddda! Nothing yet. I...

    I Saw You: V.2.0

    Re: ATTN:Red and White Gixxer 600 on Balmuto Many (most) bikes with fuel injection will not start via a push start if the battery is dead. Possibly if it is just run down a bit. Many cars also. The ECU, fuel pump, fuel injection system, ignition system (for da sparkplugs...) require at least...

    Removing oil n grease from fairing fender

    Kerosene can be bought in the camping section at Canadian Tire in a litre size white plastic bottle for a couple bucks. It will remove wax also but does not damage paint. The chain cleaners that are sold at the bike shops are simply keosene in an aerosol can. Good luck. Grease normally does...

    Milton - Vancouver on R6 - July 2012

    Don't forget to set your helmet on the seat or hang it off a footpeg while doing this. That way you can curse as you forget this during your haste as you watch it roll away when you go to lift the bike up to roll it forward a tad! :rolleyes: Been there done that! :(. Only once.

    Your favourite oil brand

    +^ Used it for years with good results. I start a new 4 cylinder bike with dino (mineral) oil then later change to semi-synthetic as it makes the gear shifting a tad easier. Price is ok for me and I seem to see it readily available at many locations and most bike shops I drop into. This is of...

    CAA (Plus) Membership for Motorcycles?

    So they will tow up to 56 kms. This would be an issue if for example one was riding through Algonquin park and had a breakdown. The nearest garage very well may be further than that. If on a trip through northern Ontario (and some other locations) there are lengths of the highway where there are...

    Uhaul Trailer alternatives.

    Airlines have done the same thing for years. I think they over book by 10% if I recall correctly. They claim that approx a minimum on average of 10% of booked seats are not filled due to people not showing up. Unfortunately lots of people reserve things but never show up or call to cancel...

    what are the best street tires for 2012?

    So it appears we have an answer: Round, black rubbers filled with air (hot optional). An Arsehole is an added benefit when ya just don't know or care! :rolleyes::lmao: PS: most riders cannot ride well enough to use or detect the true and full benefits of most tires made today. So I guesses I...

    nice day 4 a ride

    It is only -17 degree C there right now per the weather channel! -15 in Algonquin Park. A tad burrrrrrr for street riding in my books.:cussing: Guess I still have time to put the rear swingarm and forks back on my bikes. Took them off to have oils changes (forks & shock) and re-grease the...

    Going from a 750cc inline 4 to a 650 V twin (V strom) questions...

    Suzuki actually has a factory lowering rear link for their DL's (VStroms). Stock is silverish and the lowering one is black in colour if memory serves me correctly, from what a dealer told me. So I take it that many VStroms are lowered by their owners. It might be an idea to simply contact a...

    Thanx for the offer but I paid full pop at the time of the order as I was told that was the only way they would order them back on January 25. Should be arriving from Germany next weekend along with RC's prior ordered items.

    High revs sputter on a gixxer

    +^ A throttle position sensor will do that also. They will check out ok via an electrical meter test but not be ok. Therefore, it is not adviseable to use a used one. They can be approx $170 new. Ouch. I know a Yamaha dealer that told me they replace them on Yamahas very often. I know of a...
