    My trip across 403, 401, 427, Gardiner and Queen's.

    I ride these all the time coming back from Toronto to Mississauga. They are fun, but also scary if you're not prepared. The simplest way to navigate the bumps is to get on your feet and off the seat a little bit, let your legs absorb the bump and let the bike go over them with a relaxed grip...

    Air Filters (Sprint or DNA or OEM) w/Tune

    End of May I'm installing a full exhaust with a tune. While I'm at it, should I even bother replacing the filter? DNA makes a drop in, much larger surface area than OEM. Sprint makes one that's similar surface area to OEM but different filter element. I'm not trying to get any performance...

    Second bike as a beater/practice.

    This is amazing, I had no idea something like this existed! Much better than spending a couple thousand on a bike!

    Second bike as a beater/practice.

    I want to improve on my motorcycle control, but I don't want to practice on my new and shiny Tracer. What's a good/cheap bike that I could possible get for a couple thousand that I could practice on and not worry about dropping it? Is getting a second bike for practice even a thing? I...

    ECU Flash - Local w/Dyno or Send To USA

    I'm getting a full LeoVince exhaust, lower my fan temp, remove any throttle restrictions in all gears. I figure it will cost me around $500 CAD to ship/receive my ECU so might as well spend another $400 and get it done locally and all within a day.

    ECU Flash - Local w/Dyno or Send To USA

    I plan on getting a LeoVince full exhaust with a DNA drop in filter for my Tracer 9 GT. I'm not sure what option to pick as I've never had an ECU flashed on any of my bikes before. The furthest I got was a Power Commander 5 on my VFR. There's two options in the USA, Vcyclenut or Moore...

    Barnes Powersports (Blackfoot)

    I placed an order from them for 4L of Yamalube 10w50 and they shipped me 1L. I emailed them with a photo on a Saturday and they responded immediately letting me know they'll ship out the 4L one. They were closed on Monday, but someone called me on Tuesday and told me about the mixup and I...

    Chain Maintenance - and go!

    I have a 2022 and this is true. I did this, but the CEL didn't go off while idling, only if you rev it up and get the tire to spin faster than idle. The CEL will not allow you to access the menu, and it went away on it's own after a couple of rides. The new bikes have a 6-pin OBDII...

    Clearing Code? Yamaha 6 Pin ODB2 Adapter

    After all the reading I did, I was convinced I had to use a code reader to clear it! Turned it on this morning, and code disappeared!

    Clearing Code? Yamaha 6 Pin ODB2 Adapter

    I got rear-ended, and finally got the bike fixed. However, when the rear tire was put on we started it up and accelerated to see if everything was spinning correctly. The bike through a CEL due to the front tire not spinning and I cannot clear this code without a scan tool. The bike is 2022...

    Is my bike ok? Got rear ended!

    Haha, thanks for the concern, but he saw the quote and sent me e-transfer already so we're good!

    Is my bike ok? Got rear ended!

    $1500, rim alone is $700, about $300 for the tire, inspection was $130, and then labour to install rim/tire, another $150, and then lovely taxes!

    Is my bike ok? Got rear ended!

    Thanks for the different perspectives everyone. I've decided not to report it, I got back from the docs and he says everything is ok, but wants me to get x-rays. I feel ok though, will see if anything changes when the x-rays come in. Got my bike checked out as well, rim is bent, so needs new...

    Is my bike ok? Got rear ended!

    I'm waiting in line at Costco gas, and the cars in front start moving. Before I can release the clutch and proceed, I got hit from behind! The impact nudged me forward about a foot or so, it was like a tap on my rear tire, but enough to jolt the bike forward and my back bent backwards a bit...

    Riding etiquettes: honking at distracted drivers?

    One of the first mods I do on my bike is an air horn. https://motorcycleinnovations.ca/collections/horns/products/denali-soundbomb-split-dual-tone-air-horn I usually only need my horn on the highway and the few times I've really required it, it worked like a charm. Most driver's instincts...
