Not the Super Mario kind 🤪 I went to K1 Speedway at Downsview with some friends on the weekend and had an absolute blast. Now I'm wondering about "real" karting (no shade on K1!!) I did some prelim research, seems like there are quite a few clubs around. Hamilton and Innisfil seem like big...

Hey, I am at my wits end here I changed the front brake line on my GS500. I drained the system, pulled the old line, put the new one on, and filled it up while getting the air out of the lines. I got to the point where I wasn't seeing any air bubbles come out of the bleed line, the lever felt...

Hey everyone, I'm working on tuning my '75 Yamaha DT400 (2 stroke single). Stock jetting is #40 pilot, #160 main on a Mikuni VM32 round slide carb. I have the stock airbox (with a UNI filter), and an aftermarket pipe. On the pilot side, I went rich because I am new to this and have no idea...

I mounted my first set of tubeless tires last week on my GS500. I don't have a real compressor, just a small 12v job. I put on the rear tire and brought the PSI up to 40-ish without the valve core. Emptied in, put the valve core in and brought it up to 36. At the time, it seemed to hold air...

With my Honda CT90 winding down, I cracked and picked up an S90 for a couple hundred bucks a few months ago The tear-down: This project could end before it really started though. The serial is S90-468404. Unfortunately, Service Ontario tells me this was never registered in Ontario. My...

This is a copy of a post I just made on yamahaenduro.com - but I figured maybe someone here may be able to advise Hey everyone, I've been working on a 1975 DT400 engine for a while now. Every time I join the cases, I can't shift gears. It's stuck in a gear. The shift drum has a few degrees...

Not sure if this is a dumb question or not, but would I have any trouble passing a safety without the original engine? I'm considering putting a new Lifan motor in my CT90 project.

I bought what I thought was a 1976 Yamaha DT250 in-a-box a while back, turns out that while that is true of the frame, it has a 1975 DT400 engine ;) I like surprises My plans are to make it into an adventure riding bike, and hopefully see a bit of Canada with it when it's done (next season???)...

I'm rebuilding a Yamaha DT400C engine and I want to get some work done before I put it back together.. I have the cases split now and everything is out I want to make sure all of the mating surfaces are good and level, I don't want to find out they are warped later on I need the cylinder bored...

Hey, Anyone know of a shop or garage that can fabricate and weld a kickstand bracket to a frame? I have a drawing of the bracket, its pretty straightforward, and I have the kickstand and return spring already.

Mind blown. Ordered late Monday night (EST), at my door Thursday morning. York, GB to Toronto. I ordered something from Cambridge, ON at the same time and they arrived on the same FedEx truck. Crazy. Yea there was a 29$ COD on a 175$ order, and yea maybe the exchange rate isn't fantastic...

Interesting 6 part interview from a week or so ago between Sanders and Killer Mike. I enjoyed watching it, one of the more important talks I've heard in a while I think https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LCnrQZbqIQU&index=1&list=PLkRT6sInhvHVb96g l-uxn2LxBqEL4Iv9A

Looking to pick up some Renthal handlebars, the Road Streetfighter to be specific. Can't find anywhere around that sells them. Any ideas? Or am I gonna have to order from America. I'd prefer to pick up in person

Got a '69 CT90 incoming, it's not quite in running shape but I'm looking to bring it to my parking spot downtown to do some work on it. Just looking for some theft insurance in case it's nicked. Called a couple companies, they won't insure something that old whether it be roadworthy or not...

Needs to be in good working order.

Santa was kind to me this year. My uncle has one lying around that he is giving me. Apparently carbs need cleaning, and something needs replacing... maybe timing chain... I'll have to ask him again. Will be picking up in the coming weeks, I assume. Looking to slam & stretch her and get a...

I got a (very) small job that I need done, need a piece of aluminum welded to my cylinder head. I've found a place in Schomberg that I think can handle it, but was wondering if there was anywhere closer (I'm downtown).

Sheared not one, but two header bolts. One is about 1cm out of the hole, and I dremelled in a deep slot in it to try to manipulate it with a flathead screwdriver. I sprayed it with PB blaster, and tapped it a bunch with a hammer to try to shake all the crud in the threads loose. I heated the...

The bike is a 2008 GS500. Last fall I put on a Jardine full system exhaust and K&N lunchbox air filter. I used this page to find a starting point for the jet sizing: http://wiki.gstwins.com/index.php?n=Upgrades.Rejetting For my bike configuration, it recommends 20/65/145 as the starting point...

From a 2008 model. I switched to a Jardine full exhaust last season, this one has just been collecting dust in my storage locker. I'm moving out at the end of April and I don't want to haul it around. Yours if you want it, but you'd have to come pick it up (downtown location) as I don't have...
