Fluids flushed/replaced Any damaged/broken seals replaced Any other maintenance items addressed I’m not very familiar with suspension and the associated maintenance, my knowledge extends to setting sag and that’s about it

Looking for shop recommendations for servicing forks and shocks around the Orangeville area. I have a couple road bikes and dirtbikes that definitely need a once over in the suspension department. If the shop can also help with minor setup that would be a plus. I’d most likely bring the...

I have a roller ready to go when I do the finished side of the bodywork, I’m not too concerned about the finish on the back side. There will be another layer (or two) going on the backside for strength, one on the front get a flatter surface to work with. The front is going to get glaze putty to...

Picked up damaged track fairings for cheap, including the resin/hardener and fibreglass cloth. Basically payed for the fibreglass materiel and got the fairings for free Never done fibreglass before but after watching a couple videos it seems like it’s just adult paper mache The real test will...

2003 BMW Dakar 650, for 1800$ https://www.facebook.com/share/Ywv6P6XSKLvjVaBk/?mibextid=79PoIi Almost 90K so unsure of the maintenance bill waiting, but for under 2K might be worth it

Worked on the old man’s CR250, rear master was seized so rebuilt that. Then gave the bike a once over, greased everything and went through the carb quickly (I screwed up and didn’t drain the float bowl last time I rode it) Changed the oil and flushed the brakes, then a quick rip and realized i...

Carbs synced on the VFR, had some wiring to fix in the tail light from some mice over the winter. Few new cracks in the fairings I did my best to fix, and reassemble everything. Bike just needs an oil change and it’s ready to ride Drained and flushed the coolant to replace with water on the...

Reassembled the scoot after painting the plastics over winter (mint 10ft paint job if I do say so) still need to find a rear brake cable and a fender, and lower it Parts came for the VFR carbs so those got stripped and reassembled (had to remove the plenum to get to the fuel line O-rings) the...

Having personally owned the bike, I can assure it has the same redline as the EU market bike

While I can’t say for certain regarding the exhaust (I’m sure someone can compare part numbers) the NA market does not have a rev limit. Both EU and NA spec bikes will redline at the same RPM. Also no need to replace the NA ECU with a EU vs just flashing the bike to EU specs, as both will void...

Here’s a visual on what the stock ECU does vs an unrestricted or flashed ECU So around 11,500RPM is max power stock Vs 14K flashed

Limits throttle, it’ll rev to redline but won’t make any more power above 13K (might be 12K not sure) Basically above a certain point you can have the throttle open 100% but the ride by wire system will interpret it as X value (say 60%-70%)

From my understanding the exhaust is the same for all markets the bike is sold in, the only difference in the NA market is the software that limits the throttle. The biggest gain will be from switching to aftermarket headers with a tune (stock pipe/slip-on)

Personally I didn’t stick to the factory recommendation, kept it below 120 and tried to never let the engine sit at the same RPM for more then a couple seconds. And oil change at 500 (conventional) and then 1000km (synthetic)

You wanna get almost as many opinions as what kind of oil to use, ask how to break in a new engine. Everybody and their uncles cousin has a different view on it 😂

that’s a long ride if you followed kawi’s break-in RPM of 4000 😂 i lasted about 3 minutes before going over

Bought a set of the S23s on March 25th. Damn

https://www.facebook.com/share/mQT2KJUhcuSovfo2/?mibextid=79PoIi For 350$ per bike that seems more then reasonable to me

It’s the radiator removal that’s the worst part, and I screwed up and did the quick shift after I did plug’s earlier this year
