Thanks everyone for the helpful responses. I got a digital tire pressure gauge from CT that works great. -Al

Hi everyone, I was wondering if the air compressors they have at gas stations work on bikes or not? I heard about 90 degree valves on tires that make it easier to access but mine don't have them. Is there an adapter of some kind you need? Sorry for the obvious question but couldn't find any...

If you run the test described by the OP, shouldn't you be measuring CURRENT not voltage? Since you're connecting the multimeter in series with the battery, I think you should be measuring milliamperes right? I had to do the same thing since I had a brand new battery die when the bike sat for a...

Hi everyone, I went to do my first chain cleaning/lubing yesterday and noticed that my chain guard is only held in place by one screw (towards the rear of the swingarm) and the front part just kind of hangs over the chain. There is a hole in the front part that looks like it would fit a...

Hey Scorpio, I live in Toronto as well, not too far from downtown. I just started riding two months ago. I posted on your earlier topic on the battery problem because I was having the same issue. If you want to ride this coming Sunday morning that would be fun, we should plan ahead of time...

Hey Scorpio, I own the same type of bike (2008 CBR125) and I had the same kind of problem. I think the batteries these bikes come with are just extremely low capacity and have to be maintained when the bike is not used for a while. For me, it was 1 week between when I received the bike and...

Don't be discouraged after just the first day. When I took the course earlier this year, at the midpoint of the first day I was literally thinking: what should I do with all this gear I bought? Sell it or just throw it away? I definitely felt I wasn't going to be able to learn how to ride a...

Nvm: Dead battery needed to be recharged.

Hi, No, just regular ones. I just bought an '08 CBR125 and will be plating it on Saturday :-). Thanks for your help. Al

Hi everyone, Thanks for the really quick replies. I know the lineups can be really long :). Glad to hear you don't have to wait for days though. Do you know if this can be done at ServiceOntario desks or only DriveTest centres? Thanks, Al

Hi all, I was wondering, when you go into the MTO with your ownership papers, safety certification, and insurance slip, how long does it take them to issue you a license plate? Do you get it right away or do you pick it up later? Thanks, Al

Hi guys, Thanks for the response Johnny. Unfortunately the re-test is on Saturdays and costs $50. I'm not going to be able to take the test at Centennial again because my Saturdays are packed with work. So I guess I'm going to have to take the test at the MTO. I called other riding schools...

Hi all, Thanks for your help! I'm going to give a call to some of the other training schools and see if I can get a bit of practice this weekend, then retake the test at Centennial. Serialize, you know exactly which points I was having trouble with! Low-speed handling and using the friction...

Hi everyone, I just took the riding safety course at Centennial last weekend and it was really great... I had never ridden a bike before but the training and one-on-one coaching was really valuable. I struggled in the beginning but by the end I was quite comfortable with advanced maneuvers...
