Random high revving during stop (Solved) While at a stop and in first gear, my 2009 Ninja 250 will shoot up to around 4000 RPM and stay there. It isn't until I let the clutch out a bit (engaging the clutch a bit), it drops down back to 2000 RPM. I've even shifted into neutral while it is...

Can anyone elaborate a bit more on the weight issue? Have you gone from a heavy helmet to a light helmet and was there a huge difference in comfort?

I'll take a jug. I'll be in scarborough Sunday or can pick up the weekend after this one. thank you for this! Is this the 5W-40 stuff?

That's so 2009 bro. I was hoping one of these topics would come up. Sometimes, when I pass cars, I'll switch to the tire track farthest away from them while I blow by. And that means going in the other 'non-blocking' tire track. Is that good practice? Also, when on a smaller, 2-way highway...

Nice thread here. The first time I took the 401 on my bike was 2 weekends ago. The wind was pretty rough and made the ride a real workout. I couldn't imagine being caught in the winds last night which had to have been at least 20kph+ more. I'll probably never ride in high winds again if I have...

bah, give em a break man. if the computers were down at your work, wouldn't you be chilling if everyone else was? and regarding the coins/jelly beans: do people really do this? And what happens afterwards usually? Do they politely back off or do they ram the back of your bike? I'd rather flip...

Check the chain slack. This is such an easy thing to adjust: if the seller has kept this one part of the bike within specification (34mm-45mm of play), then I would assume they've taken good care of the bike in other areas. I'd go with $3500-$3600 As for checking chain slack, just pull down on...

so sick of people who pull this. i've been in a few situations where it looked like people were 'trying' to get into an accident with me. coughbramptoncough. let us know how it turns out

Wow that sucks. I parked in an underground over the weekend and thought it would be safer than leaving it outside. But there are tons of cameras usually down there.

why is underground condo parking dangerous?

That ad was posted a month ago (Feb 28th). I contacted them around that date and still have gotten no response back. Chances are good that it's sold probably or never existed (or I'm just angry I never got a response!!)

what helmet did you get a shield for? so it scratches easily... what color did you get? And how do you find the tint in overcast conditions?

Yup its all good. Where'd you get it? I was looking around for oil the other day and couldnt find this at Crappy tire. Found some Formula-1 5w-50 for 5.99/litre instead

Sometimes when I approach an intersection that has oncoming cars waiting to turn left, i will flash my brights a couple of times to make sure they see me. But i like the swerving thing mentioned above.

Can anyone name specific brands at Canadian tire? I went there lastnight and don't remember seeing Wurth. I saw a "Chain Lube" spray can but looked pretty generic. For the Ninja 250r, it says to look for lubes that work with chains that have o-rings.

So it can be done, albeit with a lot of work. If I had drove like 6 hours to get the bike and found out there that it wouldn't fit with the cap on, I would have taken these measures. Fortunately, I wasn't that desperate. Tomorrow, around 7:30pm, I'll be riding westward on highway 7. I'll be on...

Just curious to as why one would need 3 helmets?

How much do the RF-1100's usually go for?

So, just got back. Curious to as what I did? I left it there. It was too tall for the truck cap and would not fit. I'm going to drive it back Monday. A little nervous as it'll be my first time back on a bike in a while. Perhaps I may take that offer of an escort? May take HWY 7 to avoid the...

Thanks for the quick replies everyone. I'll do it the right way Great vid too. Not sure what he did exactly with the hockey stick?
