So I'm about to get insurance on my bike, but work has informed me there's a 50/50 chance I'll be gone from April 1st onwards. If that's the case, then I'll be looking to cancel my insurance while my bike sits parked. I was going to go with Meloche Monnex, and from Viffer's post it seems like...

I'm turning 25 next April and am about to get a policy written. Are there any companies that might write a policy so I can take advantage of the premium drop next season?

Hey, Was wondering if there are any Suzuki dealerships in the Markham area that service motorcycles? All I've called only deal with cars and Newmarket said they won't quote me without the bike present (long story...) So if anyone either knows who could help me quote out some parts that'd be great

Something I've been trying to fix myself but I haven't been having the greatest luck. I had a GS500F before and an SV650s now, before the bike just "went" into turns and as long as I maintained pressure on the inside handlebar I would stay in the turn no problems, now it's like no matter how...

Was riding my bike and hit the kill switch accidentally. Bike obviously shut off, and then wouldn't start. What happened? SOLVED: I have adjustable levers, on the lowest setting it doesn't travel far enough to disengage the clutch switch, figured this out by sitting on the bike and just...

Question about frame sliders. Would it be possible to build a frame slider that has a spring/damper system so that the energy was no transmitted to the frame/bracket?

So a friend crashed a bike going 50 kph after hitting a deer. I was going to check out the bike to see if it's just cosmetic and then get an inspection for the frame. It's an 07 ninja 650 and he's selling for 1500 OBO (I'm thinking 1200) I am going to use this...

Assuming the same insurance between the two anyone have any idea about the difference in cost to own the two? Maintenance, parts, fuel consumption, depreciation over 2 years? I know edmonds has a tool like this for cars (True cost to own) but can't find anything for bikes

Hey, I was wondering how many people had helmets that had been in a crash they were going to throw out. I want to do some research into where impacts occurred and how the helmets dissipated energy and which features helped. I have access to lab facilities but not additional funding (at this...

I went into the delearship looking at new bikes and they tried to steer me away from the 650r because "they get a lot in that are burning oil" is this a common complaint? I don't find too much on google on on GTAM so is that just 1 delear's opinion? Are there other known issues for the 06-08...

Hey I'm coming from a V-Twin and was wondering how the f4i's powerband worked compared to that? IS it difficult to ride around town?

So after reading another rating about squid thread I had a thought, insurance that adjusts for if you wear gear or not. if You want to wear all the gear all the time, you get a % off your insurance while if you don't then you pay full price. This reflects that you will have higher medical...

Got T-Boned on Monday by a guy in a truck who was not paying attention, swerved to avoid a car and smoked me instead, took it into the shop today and one look at the footpegs and they said yeah, this is a write iff, the frame is going to be bent and if it's not it'll be able 4000 in parts and...

So I just moved to BC last week and am in the process of changing my license over and someone smoked me in the gas station today. I called ICBC after talking to the Police and they said since I wasn't moving I'm not at fault but to call my own insurance who will talk to them. I assume that...

So I was looking at communicators, and got the idea that since they sell the accessory kits pretty cheap I might be able to plug into my Samsung Galaxy S and see if that'd do the trick. I'm not sure if I'd need an app to get this to work or what would be required... If anyone has any thoughts...

So my friend bought a new bike, 600cc against my recommendations w/e but at least he got a 1997 F3 so if the smokes it less damage to his wallet. Now he's realized he doesn't want to ride it from Barrie to Kingston because he has no experience and asked me to ferry the bike for him. I have 13...

Hey So this Friday I leave Alberta to head back towards Ontario. I'm doing some maintenance tonight and am looking for any cheap places anyone knows to stay along the way. I did the camping thing on the way out, but it poured every night and by the end of the trip I was just miserable. I was...

So I got a random check while I was driving around at work, and turns out my insurance slip was only valid for 30 days and the new one was delayed because of the Canada post strike. Is this considered a moving violation? How much does TD/Primmum/MM surcharge per ticket and what about Jevco...

Was pulling off highway after 600km today when on ramp after I stopped the bike died. Tried to restart, get this rapid fire clicking noise, but no turn over. It's been raining all day, the oil was changed yesterday, there's a half tank off gas left, the battery works as evidenced by the...
