... I think you mean stator. And yes, you shouldn't need any "special" tools to replace it. Edit: damn, beat me to it.

The separate building for Yamaha of Newmarket closed last year, they operate out of the same building as Suzuki.

Unplug one brake switch at a time and watch to see if the lights go out. Easy to find out which one is messed up. If it stays on when both are unplugged, you have a harness problem.

Great bike, surprisingly easy to ride. I thought it was going to handle terribly, I was wrong. Enough power for anything I needed and geared well.

The upsides to this bike outweigh the negatives in my mind. It is priced right, available for order now. And I do mean now, dealers can order them and they are available in Canada as of 9:00 am this morning. The 950 motor has been absolutely bullet-proof. The V-star 950 was probably the bike...

Today's fuel has a "shelf life" as short as 10 days. I have seen "brand new" fuel start to varnish within 2 weeks of purchase. It's not that common, but it does happen. This short life span can be made worse by leaving the gas in a moist environment that changes temperatures frequently. I agree...

Ah makes sense, cause the bonnie is a dream to work on for valves... thought you had lost your mind but didn't want to say so without at least asking. And yes, you will probably notice them start to make a ticking noise at like 6000 km and want to have them adjusted, after that they are good for...

For the night school courses they generally do not let you bring your own stuff in. The shops are pretty packed as it is. If you are taking the longer, Motorcycle and Powersports Repair Techniques course, different story. They have made time and space for the students bikes in the past if it...

Assuming your are working on the bike in your sig... Bonne's are metric, and the specs are given in metric. The math is also way easier to do if you are working in metric as that's how the replacement shims are classified. Those bikes get loose as they wear. Set them right at the tighest range...

Oakville Yamaha carries both brands.

He built a porsche motor for a buddy of mine, he specializes in old Harley stuff.... oh, and he's the head instructor at Centennial College for the engines program. Does all his own machining. Brent has forgotten more about engines and machining than I will probably ever know.

Bronkos in milton.

This thread is a good example of the many sides of this issue. The commission-based sales people may get up in arms because they are under pressure (whether self imposed or from the higher ups in the dealership) to make sales. And they are not wrong, they are paid based on sales not...

Those look like the snap-on racks KRA22A. Not sure about a local solution.

Quick question... is the clutch switch 2 wire or 3 wire?

Yamaha: V-star 950, 1300 or Stryker Suzuki: M90 - evidently the redesign fixed the fuel consumption and injection issues. Kawasaki: VN900 I found when riding the M50's I was always wanting a little bit more. One more gear, 10 more horsepower.... never had that issue on the "bigger" bikes. The...

Yes, the Blackbird is a terrific solution. Unfortunately it's also on the restricted insurance list. I love them though. And in stark contrast I hate the ST's, I hate revving the engine and being twisted toward the ditch.

The BMW does look nice, curious to see what they are priced at. Agreed. But, I don't know how much cheaper the adventure bikes are though, the Tiger 800 is still $13000, pretty much the same as a Ninja 1000. It just feels like there is a gap in the market. I don't see any reason there couldn't...

I'm over 6' tall and more than 200lbs and my wife is 5' 10". Riding 2-up on bikes like the SV can most certainly be done, I've done it, but it doesn't inspire confidence braking and such with both of us on it. Seeing us on an SV is really funny looking actually. I love the bikes, just want more...
