    Re: Well, this will help the motorcycle image in Toronto! Now the crying will ensue when every sportbike rider gets pulled over for any infraction by OPP and charged. Actions like this just make it hard for everyone on 2 wheels.

    Which Octane Fuel should you use? Putting higher octane fuel is not always better.

    I think there are some engines that can sense what octae level fuel you are burning and adjust things like timing to take advantage of the different fuels. This may also explain why some cars do better mileage on different octanes.

    Which Octane Fuel should you use? Putting higher octane fuel is not always better.

    The Gas companies try to trick you into thinking buying Premium 90 octane and Super 93 octane is better for mileage and or engine performance. All this is to just get you to buy more expensive fuel. If your engine manufacturer says use regular 87 octane then use it. Using higher grades will not...

    My Bike Studders in 1st Gear

    On another topic you say you use Premium Gas does that bike call for premium? I think Yamaha says use 89 in the v-star 1100. Using premium in an engine designed for 89 is just wasting money and you get less power, Higher octane is for engines needing it to reduce detonation, usually because...

    Buell Blast...not starting after new battery and fresh gas...

    When it did start did it backfire at all. If so it may have dislodged the carb from the boots slightly causing an air leak and may prevent it from starting.

    If you were in the intersection when the light turned red you are fine. If you pass the stop line at the intersection when the light turns red you are getting a ticket.

    Street triple integrated tail light install

    The single wires are probably to splice into the stock signal lights so they will work along with the integrated ones. I assume it is a knockoff of the motodynamic one. Here is their instructions: https://www.motodynamic.com/installation/T-6DST.pdf

    Ouch ...what would you do?

    And the stupid friend that pulls it out. If you have no other first aid training know this. If an object is penetrating you leave it in. Pulling it out can be far worse as it may be keeping a severed artery from bleeding. Pull it out and you may not be able to stop the bleeding. That guy...
