Worked some more on the bike today. Went to install the chain, realized the Lifan came with a 240 pitch front sprocket, and I needed 248 to match my new chain and rear sprocket. Luckily my local parts store carried the sprocket I needed so I wasn't sunk today. Also had a bunch of trouble with...

That's the worst thing I've ever seen

Good old carbs. The bike has been good to me, no complaints. I don't ever see myself getting rid of it. The only problems I've had with it are when I ****ed it up when I was wrenching on it and had no idea what I was doing. Some lessons learned the hard way, no doubt

Bloody hell. That's insanely pricey for a 12 year old 500. I bought my 2008 GS500 in 2011 for $3700 and it had 3200 km on it.

The bike has been sitting for a while. Can't believe my last post was August. I finished mounting up the engine properly, with the foot pegs and engine guard as well. It's a bit of a **** show with the rear engine mount adapter, the adapter plate for the footpegs, and the pegs and guard...

I don't think it's a problem. As autonomous vehicles make up more and more of the vehicles on the road, I'm sure they'll be communicating among each other like a swarm. I imagine they would identify a motorcycle, or a human-driven vehicle and inform the swarm and give that vehicle the...

I bought my first bike in similar circumstances, parents would have let it happen over my dead body. It's easier to ask for forgiveness than permission. I was riding for years before I told them, and its all good now Be real about the usefulness of a motorcycle as a means of commuting. In the...

I spend a lot of time with my CT 90 so a 200 is "big bore" for me :D Thanks for your input, I'm thinkin I'll try to get out on a few bikes in this class and see if the lower weight of the DR makes it worth it in my mind Cheers!

Could you elaborate on the DR200? I like the idea of a lightweight bike like OP, it was on my list.

May just need a hone with new rings, or a bore over? No need to throw out the baby with the bathwater

I definitely play better when I'm in solo, but I think I have more fun when playin with my friends. Lots of funny moments and lots of "whoops"

Started playin PUBG about 2 weeks ago. Haven't played a shooter since Battlefield 3 on the 360 years ago I can see the appeal in PUBG, its great if you have some friends to play with and show you the ropes too. There is a bit of a learning curve and its tough to "practice" combat, you spend...

Anyone else in to rock climbing? I've been indoor climbing a couple o times a week since March. I'm total shyte but love it. I've been mostly climbing at True North in Downsview park, but recently also started bouldering at Hub in Markham

Yea, interesting.. Looks like the Quebec Govnt goes from a 49.5% stake to 19%, but BBD goes from 50.5% to 31%. It smells a little off to me, but I'm uneducated on how these things work I don't have a horse in this race, I disliked both BBD and Boeing for all the obvious reasons. Boeing hit hard...

Yup, like Mad Mike said http://www.gtamotorcycle.com/vbforum/showthread.php?199407-1976-Yamaha-DT400-Build&p=2456645&viewfull=1#post2456645

But why?

We're all losing it

Did you remove and replace the exhaust gaskets at the head? It can be hard to tell if the old one is in there or if its gone, cause they get mashed up and covered in carbon. Sometimes people put new ones on top of old ones without realizing, or don't put one in at all Edit: I see this was...

So I drilled out the top engine mount of the Lifan to accept the 10mm engine mount bolt. I also installed the engine mount adapter for the lower engine mount. The documentation here is thin, so this took some freestyling. I had to get a longer engine mount bolt to make this work, luckily I have...
