    Control Arms - OEM or Aftermarket?

    Engineered in Canada, but probably made in China, I will confirm. https://www.mevotech.com/part/CMS801213/

    Control Arms - OEM or Aftermarket?

    My Forester (240,000km) needs new control arm bushings but I'm just going to replace the entire control arm because it includes all the bushings. Every item that needed replacing to date on this car was OEM, so I've no idea about aftermarket brands. Subaru OEM control arm is $500/each...

    Where to get tires installed?

    I went with SS Automotive, they repair cars, bikes, atvs etc and are in Mississauga. The owner, Marco, rides a KTM and did my tire swap for me in a day. Cost was affordable, cheaper than most shops, but not as cheap as Mikey in Brampton or Rosey Toes. https://maps.app.goo.gl/KxiJcvLFoLiKdm2C8...

    How do you use your riding modes?

    I'm glad I'm not the only one then that doesn't ride in Sport mode all the time! I think if I spend more time in it, I can fine tune that muscle memory in my wrist, but time will tell. Come to the dark side, it's fun over here!

    How do you use your riding modes?

    Tuning was great! Mode 1 and 2 were super twitchy at first, and I told Speedlab that the throttle response on Mode 3 was perfect. They then mimicked that for mode 1 and 2, but I can feel the torque difference and how much the bike pulls in all 4 modes. The throttle response is good for 1 and...

    How do you use your riding modes?

    My bike has 4 riding modes, with mode 1 being sporty and I rode in this mode most of the time. Having a new exhaust and tune, now riding mode 3 feels like how mode 1 felt before the tune. Mode 4 is rain mode and is still super slow responsive. I hardly use modes 1 and 2 now because they are...

    Isn't this a long screw?

    I've never seen a screw this long stuck in a tire! I remember hearing a pop sound on the highway but didn't think anything of it, traffic was moving slow, around 40km/h but I'm impressed!

    ECU Flash - Local w/Dyno or Send To USA

    I got my tune yesterday from Speedlab and wow! Justin, Matt and Joel were amazing! Took about 1.5 hours, gained 5hp, and my throttle response is awesome now! Bike just wants to pull through the entire rev range. I can't even ride on Mode 1 (Sport) anymore because it's just way too fast, so...

    Young & New Rider Insurance

    You're 17 so I'll give you some advice on something you said as I'm more than double your age. You think you won't buy a new bike or want to go through the buying/selling process, but you will buy a new bike, you will sell your bike you thought you were never going to get rid of, you will...

    Young & New Rider Insurance

    First year for new riders is the most dangerous so that's why insurance is high for the Ninja 600 (ZX-6R), which is a high risk bike for new riders/insurance. The CBR650R is not in the same class as the Ninja 600, the similar Honda bike would the CBR600RR. You're comparing the Ninja which is...
