    Old Nipissing Road - Dual Sport/Adventure/Touring Ride - Saturday, May 9th

    Surprisingly the cbr isn't too bad offroad. I've done some mild offroading last year. I advice taking off the fairings, though.

    DRZ400SM - Fuel Mixture screw location

    Hmm I'll play around with it. My last bike was FI so you may have a point. It's been fairly cold lately and I've never seen the bike spin its cooling fan. I've changed the coolant not too long ago and took a temperature measurement of the radiator - radiator is at around 50C after riding. Not...

    DRZ400SM - Fuel Mixture screw location

    Stock exhaust on mine! I adjusted the screw, it was out around 3-3.5 turns and I screwed it in so now it's ~2.25 turns out. Still smell gas on stop lights but going to see how it affects the mileage. Seems to run fine.

    DRZ400SM - Fuel Mixture screw location

    Hey guys, I got a new (to me) DRZ400sm a while back. I've noticed mileage isn't too good and exhaust smells like gas, so I'm thinking it's running a bit rich. I would like to confirm the location of the fuel mixture screw. The bike has been rejetted by previous owner so in theory the cover (?)...

    Parking Ticket On Humber Property

    Is it really worth your time to fight a $30 ticket? Even if you're on salary, would you really rather go to the court and sit around for 2 hours instead of doing something else?

    Planning to get a DRZ400 this season, what to check, how to safety?

    I saw one bike over the weekend, it looked fine (although slightly banged up on each side, however didn't seem serious just looked like small cosmetic scratches as well as a slightly rusty chain on the sides as well as rust on pipes in the front), but what I found weird is that even though the...

    Fleeing the scene - When to report it?

    Wow insane. I hope you get to the bottom of this, and I hope that "police officer" gave you something in writing so he can't deny it.

    Planning to get a DRZ400 this season, what to check, how to safety?

    Hello, I have a bunch of newb questions on various topics. I would like to get DRZ400S/SM by the end of the month as an upgrade to my 250. I've already checked insurance rates and they seem... acceptable. When I go out and check out a bike, what should I watch out for? Liquids around...

    Lane splitting

    Ah, that's understandable. I was thinking between them in terms of physical differences than by law.

    Lane splitting

    This calls for driver and rider education imo. Taking approach of "we never did this here so we will ban it even though there are proven benefits for traffic and safety" is a bad approach. Also, how is it not in the same ballpark? Both are on 2 wheels. One pedal propelled one motor. Width...

    Lane splitting

    Right, except there are studies suggesting lane splitting is actually safer than not, so I don't think it's even in the same ballpark to compare it to speeding and stunting. In fact, your comparison is laughable. What do you think of when I say lane splitting? Do you imagine a bike doing a...

    Lane splitting

    Oh my god. This actually struck a nerve with me. There is literally NO IMPACT to the driver if a motorcyclist splits past them. But no, they must get very upset over it like I just **** in their lunch. I've only gotten a negative reaction when trying to do it on a motorcycle. (I have tried it a...

    Camping overnight during long rides - What rules to follow?

    Right now I have a 250 in the garage. This spring if the insurance prices are okay (need to check) I plan to get a KLR/DR650. Maybe drz400. Thanks for detailed responses.

    Camping overnight during long rides - What rules to follow?

    Hello, I am thinking of going on extended trips into northern Ontario (Algonquin park and beyond, for example) Let's assume I get caught in some bad conditions and can't make it to a hotel to stay in and decide to break out a tent (Or just decide to break out a tent because I don't want to...

    when does every one stop riding??

    What do you ride? I'd gladly go out but I'm afraid of salt. Plus roads are still wet in places, so I'm more likely to spray some on the chain. Can't detach the chain to clean it like on a bicycle!

    Looks like it will be great few days for riding. Looking forward to that +8 tomorrow, rain or not.
