    Replacement car bumper (someone posted a link)

    A while back someone posted a link to an online retailer that sells replacement bumpers. Anyone got suggestions? This is for a 2017 white bmw X1

    New truck - Engine / Transmission issues. Going to argue for dealer to give me a new a truck - frustrated.

    This reminds me of the nightmare I had to go through with a new Saab I got in 2008 from a GM dealership. The car started developing transmission issues at under 1,000km. It was a year long process, but I went through CAMVAP and GM was forced to buy the lemon back from me and pay me for time...

    Private property - un-insured drive accident

    We did feel bad about taking a livable space away from locals, but then....look at what we're going through with locals. We're actually considering not even renting the basement anymore and just using it as storage. It's almost not worth the headache (and actually a loss at this point).

    Private property - un-insured drive accident

    We lived in the house for 6 years and AirBnBd the basement apartment to over 250 guests, and only ever had 2 issues: escort booked the place, and after the 2nd unregistered guest/visitor we had airbnb kick her out a guest booked the apartment for 2, but had 4 people stay. We notified them and...

    Private property - un-insured drive accident

    Thanks for the feedback. The presentation deck from the property lawyers mentions the offer needs to be enticing ($5k to $70k). We're thinking $5k total, including last months rent, moving fees etc since it's a lower unit apartment. If she asks for more and more, we'd have no choice but to...

    Private property - un-insured drive accident

    Update: Upstairs tenant reported her to police and his own insurance. They are investigating. Unfortunately her lifestyle and behaviour is not suitable for living in a duplex. She needs her own, private space. We called her and offered her an option for cash for keys, which includes...

    Private property - un-insured drive accident

    That's actually really good point and something we never thought of. We hired RE agents for both upper and lower level tenants, and will suggest they add this into their forms so our butts are covered. Unfortunately the offender is not being nice about the situation and victim got upset...

    Private property - un-insured drive accident

    I'm not directly involved. I was CC'd on the communication as an FYI. The offender has admitted to causing the accident and also to not have insurance on the vehicle, and also trying to pressure the victim to use their mechanic to repair the vehicle. I suspect because they don't want a police...

    Private property - un-insured drive accident

    Hey all, I don't know if this is the right place for this question, but one of my tenants managed to hit the other's car on our rental property driveway. This is at a single family home in Toronto. I believe (don't have the full story yet) the basement tenant (no insurance) caused damage to...

    Chain and sprockets

    Finally got this done and took it for a short test ride. I'm happy with the results so far. I need to test it out more, but I can tell there is slightly more pull in every gear and that annoying spot between not knowing if you should be in 1st or 2nd (stop and go traffic) seems to be fixed. I...

    Doggy poop problem

    Got this problem where we live (Leslieville). Occasionally I also see human feces. It's gotten worse since covid.

    Chain and sprockets

    Ended up ordering the sprockets from bayside performance (Superlite 49t rear and 16t front). Shipping from SprocketCenter.com would have been 80USD...not worth it. I didn't buy the chain from them as price was a high, but going to go with a RK 520GXW. I really like the black and gold.

    Chain and sprockets

    I'm excited to try out +2 in the rear and looking forward to a little more grunt and shorter 1st gear. From my understanding the speed is picked up from the ABS sensor on my bike. In stock form my bikes speedo is actually off by about 1-2kph starting from 90kph. The faster I go, the greater...

    Chain and sprockets

    They only have it in stock form 16/47 525 Unfortunately it seems near impossible to find a 525 kit with 49 rear for the street triple, so the general consensus seems to be a swap to 520.

    Chain and sprockets

    I was planning on doing it myself using one of those single use Sealey chain tools from Amazon. All good. I already checked AllBalls from your first link for the Street Triple, but they don't carry a 49t 520. I think i'm just going to order from SprocketCenter.com since it's so difficult to...

    Chain and sprockets

    I think you're referring to the Speed Triple, which I don't own. My bike is a 2015 Street Triple Rx. I do wish I had the Speed though.

    Chain and sprockets

    yes, exactly. It's really frustrating in traffic. On open roads it's not a problem at all.

    Chain and sprockets

    @Wingboy Thanks. I do find that on the Street Triple (mine is a 2015) first gear is excessively tall. I don't know if this has changed in 2017+ models, but in DVP traffic it gets pretty annoying because first gear isn't exactly smooth when feathering the throttle, and second gear drops the RPMS...

    Chain and sprockets

    I did check on their site but they don't seem to do 520 conversion kits. I've got about 30k on the bike and planning to change both sprockets and chain. The bike comes stock with 525 chain/sprocket. For convenience and correct chain length I'm more interested in conversion kits.

    Chain and sprockets

    So you went -1 in the front? I checked on gearingcommander.com (and other forums), and i'm reading mixed reviews about going -1 in the front. Some people were suggesting RPMS were annoyingly high cruising on the highway with -1 in the front. Since I do about 60/40 (city/highway), I figured...
