    HELP! - Terrible Fuel Efficiency on SV650s w Power Commander

    Went to Hindle today to get my son's bike tuned. His bike has a PCV and was rich through the entire range. Dropping the afr from 12:1 to 13:1 also bumped the power on the bike. Had to add a second map to the bike to ensure his bike doesn't surpass the max allowed hp once he's running the...

    Best Ear Plugs (for a loud bike)

    I use these as well as my son. My son is the one that introduced me to them. I even use them when swimming to prevent infection. They are worth every penny of their non-knock-off price.

    So, it's ok for everyone around you to go deaf because of YOUR exhaust, but not YOU?

    Wheel bearing install - How did I screw up??

    Not to point out the obvious, but you're going to damage the bearing pulling them back out. You have no way of pressing them out using the outer race.

    Wheel bearing install - How did I screw up??

    Next time do yourself a favour and toss the bearing in the freezer overnight before installing.

    Self brokering how to needed

    Anyone know the process to self-broker articles coming from the states? I know I need to go to a CBS office to clear the customs, but what do I need to bring? My plan is to do it at the Waterloo airport since I'm in Guelph. Thanks all.

    Australian Safety Posters

    Great commercial, but even in the commercial they put the blame on the guy driving in basically a straight line rather than the one that actually caused the accident. At what speed do people have to drive before the ones at fault finally take the blame for their mistakes? If the guy going in a...

    Do you know if they have lithium batteries? My son's race bike could benefit from one.

    So....election in 2024!?

    One way to help offset the tax is to skip a generation with inheritance. When my parents and my wife's parents pass, everything is going to my kids. Why give me the money to pay tax on, and then I give it to my kids to pay tax again? Not to mention, it'll be more of a benefit to them at their...

    Tankless water heater just burst

    I installed a tankless years ago and would never go back. In almost 16 years of use I've had to replace a flow sensor that cost around $50. I would never rent a water heater.

    clown country

    One day at work I was bored (about 9 years ago), so I made a list of every PM we've had since 1900, the party they were associated with, and how much they changed the debt, taking into consideration how much they increased GDP (omitted WW1 and WW2 peiods). If you raised debt by 10% and GDP by...

    Appliances brands?

    Especially when they aren't running. My sister had the compressor replaced 2 or 3 times under warranty (can't remember), then when it failed again, LG got her a new fridge. Problem was 3 times she had food spoil.

    Rising interest rates. Rising inflation rates. Rising gas prices. A Trudeau in power. Something seems eerily familiar about this.

    Is it worth doing the m2 exit?

    Can't say for bikes, but for cars that is/was completely untrue. When I was 24 my car insurance was $161/month. As soon as I turned 25 it dropped to $59/month. And I mean it was the payment following my birthday. Not a little while later, right after I turned 25.

    Ai future?

    I don't think I am. Society in general has been moving in the right direction for a long time. Racism, mostly gone. Slavery, mostly gone. Gender inequality, mostly gone. Religious intolerance, mostly gone. Environmentalism, very active. Materialism, getting better (I believe). Historically...

    Ai future?

    Maybe I'm delusionally optimistic, but if AI makes everything far cheaper and people need to work less, then I'm hoping people will spend more energy trying to improve themselves than crap they bought/leased/financed. Bragging more on social media about books they read and actual ideas rather...

    Knives - What are you using in the kitchen??

    I bought my wife a set of Global knives when we were dating. She likes cooking, I'd rather starve than make a sandwich. I think they're still ok except for one that my daughter broke the tip off with a coconut. They get put in the dishwasher....often. We've had them for about 20 years now.
