Hi all, I know this is sort of a common issue but I still find it a little strange. A little bit about the bike: 2012 Yamaha FZ8 with 52,000 km on it. The issue: when stuck in stop and go traffic for a while, in the heat, eventually it becomes impossible to shift out of first and into neutral...

Hi all, I've noticed an increased vibration on my yamaha fazer 8 (@ ~32k km) to a point where one of my mirrors is shaking a lot at highway speeds and my hands and even my right foot get numb after an hour on the highway (hands go numb in like 20 mins). It's never been the case for this bike...

Got a call from a relative saying there was a collision between a motorcycle and a car on Richmond St W, near Bay this morning. Hope everyone involved is okay!

This is a long shot but if the owner of the v-strom on Pearl st sees this, your ignition is in Park instead of off. Your battery may be dead by the time you get back. I always hated that on my suzuki. It's very easy to turn the key one notch too far and not notice it.

Hi all, I've had this thick substance accumulate on one of the radiator hoses on my FZ8 with 10k km on it and I can't figure out what it could be. It's dripping onto the water pump inlet pipe, seemingly from one of the smaller hoses above it. Looking at the manual it looks like it might be the...

Just as I was thinking I might be back to riding in a week or so, cars backed into my bike twice this week. The first time a neighbour witnessed it, there was no damage and the lady was very apologetic. The second was today and I didn't get as lucky. Plastics on the left side are damaged...

I'm selling a used Joe Rocket high viz jacket, perfect for both cold and warm weather (once you strip off all the liners). It comes with 2 (!) removable liners that break it down to a mesh jacket. Various pockets and zippers that open up mesh vents for warmer days. It's been used for maybe a...

Hi all, I've noticed the header pipes of my yamaha having different amounts of colour. It's a new bike at around 8,000 km. Is that normal? As you can see pipe #2 hardly has anything. I'm not the proud owner of the first 3 cylinder fz8, am I? :p

Does anyone have any experience fighting parking tickets? I have a date and time set for tomorrow but I also have a flight in the evening and I don't want to risk missing that in case the court thing takes forever. I know they schedule a number of people for the same time and it would be...

Richmond is closed west of Yonge today due to an oil spill of some sort. Very slippery around there as you make the turn onto Yonge. Not sure how long it's going to take them to clean it up.

Sold

Used for one season. Selling for $120.

They've only been used a few times. Too large for me. The size is M. In terms of waist size, I'g guess it's around 34-35. They have removable liner and removable panel for hot weather. Asking $120, they retail for around $190 + tax so this is a great deal if they fit you.

Joe Rocket mesh jacket, extra-small size. It's only been used for one season.

A colleague reported seeing a rider being loaded into an ambulance around 5 pm at King and Sherbourne yesterday. Hope they are alright. Terrible riding conditions yesterday and plenty of streetcar tracks around there.

I'm considering getting a new CBF600 to upgrade from my GS500 so looking for some opinion/experience sharing from CBF600 owners. I did about 21k km on the GS, so I suppose I'm patient at heart. It's a good time to buy new as manufacturers have all kinds of discounts going on in the winter. My...

Not sure why, but Sideroad 2 east of Appleby and at least some of Bell School Line (north of Sideroad 2) are now gravel roads. Was this a speed measure? The roads were just fine a week ago. I need to ride there once in a while, so this is going to become interesting.

Okay, this may be a stupid question. I've been considering getting a street triple at some point in the future, but I don't see a parts fiche anywhere on dealers' websites. I need to be able to easily identify parts and replace them (at least the simple stuff) and save myself all the...

Hi there, Question about a GS500F. I lowsided a few months ago and had the bike fixed (just your regular bent stuff). However, there's still a weird noise coming from the front when I start slowing down through 30-20 kph. Whether I'm breaking or not makes no difference. It goes away faster...
