    '99 Honda Rebel venting Problem

    I rebuilt my gas cap on my gixxer. Layed out a table cloth and took it apart in order. Found some corrosion and cleaned all the vent passages and lubed the key mechanism that was sticking. Put it all back together and was good. If you open the gas cap lid look for a couple of holes around the...

    Cycle World Superstore Misery - Never again

    I have been looking for my next bike for a few months. Wanted an R1 but after looking at insurance I decided the R6 was the way to go. I have been scouring Kijiji, Craigslist, you name it looking for the right bike and sure enough Cycle World had it. I should have read the GTA postings before I...

    Yeah, rabbit ears are going to digital. You can still use your antennae but now have to buy a digital converter box, about $60... I don't have line of site or I would have canceled cable years ago. I do watch the shows I like on the network web sites. I'm always missing the end of a show now and...

    Bike usually doesnt fire on the first start up?

    Aside from a tuneup depending on the milage, I would look at the relays. Check a service manual to see if one is for the ignition system. A sticking relay will eventualy engage if you cycle it. If you have several similar relays you could try to swap them to see if the problem exists. My wife's...

    Motorcycle Movies / Scenes (Best and Worst)

    I love the quick change tires that came with the Duc and Triumph on MI 2! Is that stock? I'll never admit it but the MX bike scene in charlie's angels full throttle was sort of cool until the guns came out.

    Yamaha R6 - Im Impressed

    I got to work on a 2003 R6 and was pleasently surprised. I have worked mostly on suzuki's and kawi's and have owned yamaha's in the 80's. First off there was the fit and finish. The clutch lever had a bronze bushing, my suzuki doesn't! Second, to drain the antifreeze, you unscrew the drain...

    New Yamaha dealer opened in Newmarket

    Drove buy, nothing to look at on the outside. I like the staff in the Suzuki gear department, always nice to deal with. Parts guys are great too. $150 for my safety??? They lost me there, never use the mechanics. I felt used and dirty after that one.... Cycleworld superstore has a red '08 R1...
