When you are taking them apart are you replacing the seals?

I'm not sure how you / others cleaned and repacked the *inner* bearings on each hub. Part of me is wondering how many don't even realize there *is* an inner bearing. I did the best job I could with a paint brush and some solvent and packed it by reaching through the hub with my finger. It seems...

Thanks for the tip, kicking myself that I didn't find out about Seals Unlimited sooner. They are located very close to me :) http://www.sealsunlimited.ca They are apparently a distributor for SKF seals, apparently the SKF part number is 692373. Since I've already ordered the ones from AVX I'm...

I picked up a HF trailer this week and have been putting it together and trying to figure out the right way to grease the bearings. After doing some reading I'm not convinced the 'brute force' method of popping the grease seal and inner bearing out is a good idea, as the seal and inner bearing...

I picked up a HF trailer # 90154 (1200lbs folding) last night at the new Harbor Freight location in Niagara Falls, NY. Hoping to start putting it together tonight, and use it for a trip next week. I called General today to see if he still needed the original brought in or if he could go with...

Damn, sorry I missed this sale. Really in the market for a pair of pants like this. Was also looking at the Tour master Flex but they just look so ugly in the online photos :) Anyone know if Royal Distributing carries the JR AE 12s? They have a sale on this weekend, was going to check it out...

Asking $70 obo. Pickup in Burlington/Hamilton. PM if interested. Has high viz strip on the upper back, comes with back/shoulder/elbow pads (removable). Has vents on the arms, chest and back.

You are correct Neil, it is owned by CP and they are doing the work. The people it really has to suck for are the people who live right on the other side of the bridge who would normally able to go into Waterdown to do their shopping etc. Now they will have to go down to Hamilton or...

CN is replacing the old rail bridge where Snake Rd meets Waterdown. This really sucks, I know a lot of bikers use this route, I do on a daily basis! Closure in effect April 28 - August 8th I'm assuming you can still access Snake Rd from the other end, ride up and turn around and come back...

Wow $3000 premium in Canada, what a ripoff.

Yeah, but how often can I use that power, and how much more would my insurance be. I think the Bonneville is much more bang for the buck. >$13K for the CB ouch. Can't see them selling too many. CB500's on the other hand, probably flying off the shelves.

Disappointed I did not get to ride the CB500 (X, F or R) on Friday at the Burlington Cycle day. My fault for showing up late, should have figured they would all be booked up. I took out the Nc700x which I was really looking forward to and did not like it at all - way too much shifting to be fun...

I did last August from U-Haul in Oakville. Cost me less than $30 for the day including the optional insurance (why not for a few bucks, not worth the risk if you damage the trailer somehow). I drove it to Downtown TO to pick up my Triumph Bonneville from a private seller, up to Rosey Toes to get...

OK I called a few shops none seemed to think it would be a problem to inspect the bike. The time estimate varied from 10-30 minutes, doesn't seem like very much time to properly inspect a vehicle, even a motorcycle, does it? Any thoughts as to how long this should take?

That is basically my logic, if the shop can confirm that the seller's prognosis of the issue is correct and that no further work needs to be done to be safetied I am willing to negotiate with the seller to purchase the bike on that basis. I talked to one shop today that seemed pretty confident...

Pre-purchase inspection at bike shop I'm looking at a private sale used bike, I won't get into specifics but anyway the bike can not currently be ridden safely, needs some minor work which the seller has opted not to do before selling.Would it be ok to trailer the bike to a shop and have it...

Perhaps this was recently posted on their site: Vehicle Exportation document fax (810) 982-2704; 4) Export Control (810) 985-9541 x 259 or email: PortHuronOutboundOperations@cbp.dhs.gov I've seen mention on this thread that Port Huron is 24 hours but their site doesn't seem to indicate that. Is...

Nope, it's a 200cc so it's a full M2. I can take my M test on it if I want to...I think LSM is issued if you show up for the test on 50cc or below only

Yeah, I wanted to test drive a 900 but couldn't get the clutch without stalling. I should probably try a smaller one as you suggested, but I doubt any dealer wants to let me use their demo bikes to practice. Was not watching the tach at all actually... I stand corrected on the training...

I'm having the same problem as the OP, been riding an automatic transmission scooter for 2 years want to move up to a 'real' bike now but having trouble getting a hang of the clutch, don't want to go for another test ride looking like a tool until I've had some more practice... Don't currently...
