It did start. My bike requires the clutch to be held in while pressing the starter even if it is already in neutral. I had forgotten about that part.

Make sure to grip the tank using your knees. Balls of your feet should be on the pegs. Relax your grip on the handlebars once your knees are holding the tank as tugging and jerking introduces instability and try to avoid looking at the rail. The bike will move at what you look at.

After sitting my EFI bike 5 months without stabilizer I brought it out today. Press starter. Nothing happens. :( It is in neutral and there is power since the headlight comes on. The kill switch is in the start position. Why won't it start? Hamster wheel turns.. Ah yes. I must hold in the...

Did nobody read this? Renata is available for group rides..

No, it is the same as other apps. Once started in record mode it can be put in the background or phone sleep switch clicked off. App was last free Feb 16-18 and prior to that Sep 5-7. Sometimes is .99 cents, $2 and $3.

There were a lot of cops out today. I was in a 50 zone and saw the radar checkpoint. I don't run a loud exhaust so he didn't know I was approaching till I was closer and I could see him lining his radar gun directly at me in a firing pistol stance while I was downshifting. Downshifted too much...

One app I like a lot though it is not motorcycle specific but still useful is called "Fog of World" and what it does is shade the map like a game and when you travel using your GPS it makes that area clear so you can see where you've been. It's currently not free but has been in the past...

If you're 18 you may wish to get some insurance quotes first before you go shopping.

I bet I can guess what he was doing at the hospital for 4 days. Full body blood transfusion so he doesn't get withdrawal.

Stay classy Rob Ford! Lol. http://www.thestar.com/news/insight/2014/05/09/rob_ford_one_wild_night_in_march.html

RockerGuy: Here's something fun and geeky I just found. Someone did a study where he immersed O-rings in various fluids including WD-40 to see what would happen. There are pictures: http://www.advrider.com/forums/showthread.php?t=345397 Edit: I'm currently reading the thread. I see he did a part...

That's not really provable just like it's not provable that eating Big Macs everyday causes heart attacks. A theory gathers evidence in support or not of it, it can't ever be "proven" but it can certainly be disproven. So put another way, WD-40 has no evidence known to me that using it prevents...

Yes. I was going to say the same thing. Download then shop service manual for your bike and read the section for idle screw adjustment. I think idle is supposed to be 1300 rpm on mine. My bike (different from yours) some people were having a stalling at stop issue which was resolved by adjusting...

That's awesome. Just yesterday evening the girl child expressed concern that bugs might fly into her mouth when I send her to dirt bike camp. Now there is a book with instructions on what to do.

Well yes, every Harley-Davidson owner knows you must do what it takes in order to ride your ride.

No, you're really not, and I'm sorry. See if you can ride instead to a GO station on one of the north-south corridors and take the train to Union. At which time you could jump to another and get off at Exhibition.

I didn't know metal wheel weights were perishable pats of butter..

Wired ran WD-40 through a spectroscope to see what ingredients were there: https://web.archive.org/web/20140119014037/http://www.wired.com/science/discoveries/magazine/17-05/st_whatsinside Wikipedia also lists the American and German disclosures: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WD-40#Formulation...

Do you use Kleen Heat synthetic kerosene or are you using a mineral spirits kerosene? Which one do you think is better for the task?

Why clean it? O-ring chains are sealed. Dry waxing them is a good thing to do though.
