    Can I practice in parking lots? Private property? Private roads?

    I've taken the course. Passed. I have my license, I have full coverage insurance on the bike (liability, collision, fire, theft, all perils), the bike is registered but with no plates, I need a safety to get plates, I need tires to get the safety and if you've read my other thread you can see...

    Help! Can I use a non stock size tire?

    I'm having the most difficult time ordering tires for my new bike. Can't get a matching set anywhere Can someone who's actually done it confirm whether or not I can use Pirelli sport demon: 110/70H17 front (stock size) 130/80H17 rear (not stock - stock is 130/70H17) Is the 80 height going...

    Can I practice in parking lots? Private property? Private roads?

    I suppose. My street is pretty empty though so I should be good. Lol. Alright, alright, I guess I will! :thumbup: -- Thanks for the advice people, appreciate it!

    Can I practice in parking lots? Private property? Private roads?

    Thanks Spiider.. So then, does this apply to the roads in my condo subdivision? They are not maintained by the city so I'm 99% positive they are privately owned and the highway traffic act doesn't apply..? I have already taken a 3 hour intro course where we did ride around in first for about...

    Picking up a Ninja 250 Monday.... tires?

    Thanks. Yeah, I was thinking GT501 or BT45 for better tread life.. Do you know what the difference is in tread wear? Some people says the pirellis get half the life? Nice! I'm leaning towards the pirellis but some people are saying they get half the tread life... thoughts?

    High mileage Ninja 250r, opinion?

    Thanks man. UVIP was fine. It's in my name now no issues at MTO. :D Thanks that's awesome news for me.. but I meant comparatively higher than other '08s for sale (pretty well all less than 10k).

    Got the bike :D ...

    Sounds amaze balls! Well, I don't really know to be honest, it sounds awesome to me, but it's also the first/only Ninja I looked at - never heard stock exhaust (or yoshi) in person. I know it has the optional baffle so you can take it out and be reeeal loud, but I have it in. It's a nice little...

    Do the brakes on a Ninja 250 work without the bike on?

    Thanks man, can't wait to ride.. It's just tires and the safety course I need to do.. (and getting it to the shop). I should be on the roads Monday but unfortunately it's a 'holiday', which it actually isn't, so I won't be until tuesday evening at the earliest :angry4: stupid gov't.

    Do the brakes on a Ninja 250 work without the bike on?

    Thanks Johnny5, I have to get new tires to pass safety though, so I'll have to take it in to get tires installed, then safetied.

    Do the brakes on a Ninja 250 work without the bike on?

    This is what I was thinking. Was looking for clarification, preferably more fact based than assumption based though. Ah, that makes sense. I cant ride it to the shop because it's currently registered as 'unfit' for the road (ie: not safetied), has no plates and no insurance... Not worth the...

    Do the brakes on a Ninja 250 work without the bike on?

    In my car, I can use the brakes for 1 or 2 slow stops before the pedal firms up and they don't work until I start it (because they're hydraulic I assume?)... Can I use the Ninja brakes continually while the bike is off? I've been walking it around the driveway and garage with no problem with...

    Can I practice in parking lots? Private property? Private roads?

    I think you mean old? But I'm not really looking for my first ride, I'm looking to just get used to the clutch and actually go into gear instead of just rocking it in the garage so when I do go down and get the safety I can immediately go for a real ride instead of sitting around practicing in...

    Can I practice in parking lots? Private property? Private roads?

    Thanks for the help, I know I'd be responsible. I really just want to get into first gear feeling out the clutch, right now I'm stuck rocking back and forth in the garage to get the friction point..

    Can I practice in parking lots? Private property? Private roads?

    Hi hoping someone might know a bit about the legality of practicing there.. I just bought the bike but I can't get insurance until I do the safety course and I transferred ownership without safety, due to needing new tires. So right now it's registered but with no plates or insurance and...

    Getting a Ninja 250 (first bike)

    Can I put a lower price on bill of sale if I'm not paying cash? Paying with bank draft, unfortunately.
