    No one has mentioned this on the forum yet. Thoughts? Some good deals there on new bikes but lots have sold and their website is looking pretty Barron now.

    DOT/Snell helmet sticker and M2 exit

    How picky are the examiners about this? I have my M2X soon and was going over my bike/gear/and the route today and noticed that the DOT sticker has peeled off of my helmet. I still have a silver foil layer there but the DOT/Snell part has peeled off. It is a Bell RS-1 with a 2011 date stamp on...

    High idle CBR

    2008 CBR 125r 35,000km Fine at start up but after a few KM of riding probably once or twice per week [usually on the hotter days] the idle will sit at about 3500-4000 while stopped at a red light. A few blips usually sorts it out or if I put it in first and let the clutch grab. I looked at...

    OEM or Non OEM tires for 125r

    Need some updated thoughts as some of the other threads I found are older. My 125r is a city commuter. When the tires wear its only in the center. Are OEM tires still my best bet or is there a better tire for commuting? Its 166 after taxes for a set of OEM from the dealership. Follow up...

    Online booking system for M2X

    Anyone have an alternate link to do this? The one on the MTO website is not working for me. Keeps redirecting me to a Yahoo page? And while we are on topic, anyone have any tips for passing it on my first time, I will be doing it in Brampton on a 125? I saw the M2X test sheet in sticky recently...

    White Gear...

    How hard is it keeping white gear white? Whether it is leather or textile. The reason I ask is because yesterday I was at the Brampton Powersports dropping off my bike for a tune up and while I was there I was having a look at what gear they had. What I noticed is that all the gear that was...

    Changing a spark plug

    I bought a new spark plug for my 125r and was wondering how to replace it and if there is anything I have to do before replacing it? [like disconnect the battery, and how tight the plug should be, gaskets, washers, etc?] I am a noob so, sorry if this seems like a dumb question. Thanks

    Bike Warm up

    The other day at work one of my coworkers gave me a small lecture how I can wreck my bike because I start it and just go with no warm up. I drive a 125r and usually just start my bike, put on my gloves, get on the bike and go. I don't typically drive fast for the first bit, I keep it under...
