I’ve given up on pro sports (still a bit of love for the Leafs though) and I must admit I’ve been watching the highlights after the games and very happy they are going to the big show. Amazing really. Go Jays Go.
I bought an AGV K-5 S at the bike show and really like it. Much lighter than my Shark modular and very quiet (not as quiet as my old Shoei RF1000 though). Hopefully no recall on this one.
A long shot but what I did, specific for my bike was on eBay I bought a bag of fasteners from a bike breaker. It was a few years ago when shipping from the US was cheap. It weighed 15lbs as he had all kinds of brackets and even some relays. I still go to that bag at least 2x per season for me...
I was going to flush it with tap water then I thought, I will just use the new coolant and maybe drain next year instead of waiting two years. I thought about getting the concentrated stuff and adding my own distilled water. But I took the short cut and used the pre-mix. The manual stresses...
This makes sense. The engine drain plugs location is horrible, hence the hose removal. Also would be less mess. I think I will just drain the radiator every couple of years and refill that amount. That should be good enough. This coolant says 250,000 km change interval.
Thanks, I have a few of those and have had the washers roll away into the fastener eating garage floor.
Thanks for the link, I would never have thought of F9 for hardware.
And different kinds. Flat ones, recessed ones. I wish they stuck to one fastener style . To take all those off there was a 5 mm hex, JIS screws (philips), and 10mm wrench.
I thought I could do it in my sleep but messed up the order on the right side and had to do it twice. Amazing how with each...
Looks like a good day to get some bike maintenance done. It has been too long since the last coolant change. Now I remember why I dislike that job. Almost all the Tupperware has to come off except the upper fairing. A pain to drain as the drain plug doesn’t get all the coolant and you have to...
It does look small but it is 26”. I think this bike is from 05. The kid gave it a beating but that frame is still holding up. The front shocks are starting to leak but I have them fully aired up and I’m not on the trails in the winter anymore.
Do you want it patched due to the location of the puncture or you don't trust plugs?
If they remove the tire and decide not to patch it, are you able to them to keep the tire off the rim and patch it yourself from the inside?
The winter bike is ready! I decided to buy a new wheel as a new axle and skewer were onto to cost $40 plus tax. Local bike shop had a 26” back wheel gathering dust and for $99 it was mine. It took me 5 seconds to take it as the old wheel had all loose spokes to deal with too, might still try to...
