    Need electrical help on a 1989 BMW k100 Rs

    Alex, Neutral is determined from a transmission gear position indicator (TGPI) and needs to be detected using a special circuit. You removed that circuit by replacing the OEM cluster with an aftermarket gauge. That means you have to either build such a circuit using three relays...

    Daily observations

    You're right FLSTC. the Hi-Viz jacket doesn't quite cut a retro look. It's even worse now that I bought a new helmet and retired the white Shoei in the photo.

    Thanks. I attempted to capture design clues from 1950's BMWs, including official BMW colour. Link to my build blog about it in the signature below.

    Biker-land.de - Good Experience

    I've been shopping around for a replacement helmet for my 10 year old Shoei Multitec. I was eyeing the Schubert C3 Pro as my desired replacement but they are very expensive here in Canada - nearly $1000. So I shopped around online and discovered Biker-Land.de. They're located in Germany and...

    Toronto Parking Status into the Future

    Parked in Niagara Falls on the bike once. It's a tag system, not an app or keyed entry meter. You have two parts to the ticket. One you place on the vehicle the other you keep. Anyone steals the one on the bike and you get a ticket, you have the other half as proof of payment to challenge...

    Global News item on motorcycle parking in GTA core coming

    Hi, on my way home yesterday, when I got to where my bike was parked (Toronto St./King St.), there was a Global News team there. I was interviewed about my thoughts on motorcycle parking in the core and motivations for driving to/from work on a motorcycle. The interviewer told me the piece...

    Technical causes of poor fuel economy?

    Other causes might be valve gaps, stuck injectors, air leaks in rubber parts like bushings between TB and air plenum, or TPS reset is needed. I'm not overly familiar with the Ducati's but these are general FI problems.

    Ordering parts from UK

    Agreed. When ordering, specify Royal Mail and not UPS or DHL. You're less likely to be hit with brokerage fees, duties and taxes as a result, because Royal Mail gets received and forwarded by Canada Post. The aforementioned independent shipping companies tend to be more diligent in screwing...

    Ok to use Maxima Racing Shock Fluid in front forks

    I purchased a litre of Maxima Racing Shock Fluid 7W for use in the front forks of my Moto Guzzi V7. I selected this product because it met all the viscosity requirements of the cartridge inserts and it had a very high Viscosity Index (meaning it will retain its characteristics over a wide...

    POTHOLES - Be Careful

    Hate those "pavement wrinkles" at bus stops. Don't know why that happens right where the buses stop to pick up passengers. Hit one on York Mills just east of the DVP this weekend at 50km/h. Bike hopped so much it threw my left luggage case off!. Stopped and walked back to pick it up; luckily...

    Apex brakes

    I've used Apex. Yes they are dirt cheap but in no way does that translate to poor quality. In fact, quite the opposite. They are inexpensive, use high quality, builld reliable high quality brake lines, have fast delivery and offer good support both during and after the sale. Only caveats are...
