4 degrees is not the freezing point so there is no salt. Can't be dragging you knee but there is plenty of traction for normal commuting, and clothing keeps the balls from freezing. As for common sense, seeing there is absolutely no issue in the operation of a motorcycle (besides adjusting for...

"he thinks it's a schwinn"

Thats what I've been doing. Even with garage parking I leave the bike on the street. Much better chance of people seeing a couple of douce bags lifting a bike into a van if it's parked in plain sight.

No you should be thrown in jail but think about the mistakes you made. Stopped at the red then proceeded when it turned green? Where you approaching a green light an didn't have to stop? Did you approach a stale red role off the throttle then proceeded when it turned green? Share the...

About 2 years ago I t-boned a guy who ran a stop who was under the influence. Bike was written off, medics on the scene could not believe I Remained conscious, Couldn't walk for almost 2 weeks, had to undergo surgery, blah blah blah.. Yeah the guy is an idiot, got charged and te whole deal but...

Not entirely but somewhere in the cause of the accident yeah. Unless the drunk driver was chasing you down and targeted to hit you then no. But any other reason you played a part in it, ie, be in the wrong lane, not paying attention to what's going on around you, speeding whatever ever the case...

If you are waiting at a red light for a good length of time and it doesn't turn green it's treated as a malfunctioning light. This usually happens happens late at night / early morning when traffic is at a minimal and the switch is triggered by the weight of the car. Bikes don't activate the...

Check the rectifier regulator. If your getting 14+ volts at 5000 rpm then it most likely needs replacing and prob the battery seeing it might be cooked.

You sure your battery is not being overcharged? Has this happen to me, could barely get 3 cranks off the battery. Was going to replace thinking it was just a crappy bat (not even 3 months old) and as it turns out i cooked it by overcharging. The rectifier regulator went on me causing it to...

What if he rides a Honda or a Suzuki then the whole Yamaha key cover is useless :)

They are pressed in china. Most likely not injected molding. From my experience they don't fit perfect, some work has to be done. Did mine in a day (take lots if pics when removing things). Color match is pretty dead on with factory colors but keep in mind your tank may have faded a bit...

It's cause the bike sat. Give the breaks a good squeeze, pump them, warm up the disk and it should be fine.

I'm in after 10

Don't lower the bike, try shaving the seat if all you need is an inch or so. Might be less comfy on the bum but you won't be sacrificing performance/handling. If you do decide to lower it, get adjustable doing bones. Ride smart, be safe , enjoy!!

I'm out of town but I'm def keeping an eye on this thread. Hehehe

Only in QC

Hey guys, it was great meeting you all. I got your friend Req but cant figure out how to add using tapatalk. Sorry I was Mia last week, wAs awAy for work. Lets ride again.

The media seems to be covering it more. IMO the motorcycle/scooter is becoming more and more popular, if solely for the gas/maintenance factor. Commuters are switching over to a more efficient means of transportation. Think of "who" and how much money "they" would loose if everyone switched to...

There in 5 min

If one more rider is cool, I'd like to try and make this one. Coming from downtown.
