I'd still be wary. Even if you don't notice clutch slippage and shifts are smooth, extra wear could still be happening, eg to the clutch plate, or bearing/gear damage due to lower shear stability under high rpm. I don't think the risk is is worth it to save $35 a year.

I thought almost all modern car oils had friction modifiers ("energy conserving") so all of them will cause problems with slippage with a motorcycle's clutch? Which car oil do you use in your bike that doesn't? I used to use Rotella T6 which is not marketed as a motorcycle oil, but it is...

That Honda has everything I want out of a bike, but somehow it just doesn't "speak" to me. I'd rather get the new Tiger 800 Sport.

I have this one: EWK 6L Vacuum Oil Extractor Pump Fluid Extractor Oil Change Pump for Automotive and Marine, Fluid Evacuators - Amazon Canada I used it to change the oil on my Subaru WRX and VW GTI which both had the oil filter in the engine bay so I could do a quick easy oil change without...

I guess it depends on if you consider it a chore or actually like doing it. I like doing it (both bike and car), I find it relaxing but I have to be in the mood for it. I'm definitely not gonna wash the bike right after coming home from a long ride. Too tired, I just wanna rest. The bike will...

I'm a big fan of Thinkpads (got several), especially the T series and the X series. They last forever.

I wash my car with ONR and I get it from carzilla.ca. But they ship from Alberta so it might take a few days. No-rinse wash and waterless wash are not the same thing. If you just want waterless wash you can get the cheap simoniz product from canadian tire.

Just out of curiosity I tried to see if I could order cheek pads for my Shoei GT Air 2. They're out of stock at fortnine. Amazon has them for $169 but only 1 size available. Shoei's North American website (Official Site - SHOEI® Helmets North America) will will only accept a US shipping address...

That's not been my experience. I bought a shoei gt air 2 a couple years ago. Nothing about it is better than previous mid-range helmets I had, and in some ways it's worse (very clunky shield release mechanism). I doubt I'll buy another shoei.

Xlmoto has a lot more color options: xlmoto But after shipping and import fee I'm not sure if it's cheaper.

Translation: I have no idea what I'm talking about.

Please enlighten us

How are they forcing anything? You're still free to buy gas cars if you want.

Battery charger sparks fire at Collingwood home causing $400,000 damage https://www.ctvnews.ca/barrie/article/battery-charger-sparks-fire-at-collingwood-home-causing-400000-damage/

Does anyone know if BMW is offering any more demo rides this year? i wanna try the GS.

It's not the exchange rate, I just checked the Super 8 I stayed at in West Virginia, it's still $88 if you want a room this Saturday, and even cheaper mid-week. The Days Inn in NH is $455 that same night! I think NH and VT are just ridiculously expensive for motels. I guess they get a lot of...

I have a couple days off in august and was planning a trip out to VT/NH. Every motel is like $300 USD per night. I'm talking about basic chain motels like the comfort inn, days inn, etc. I said screw that and decided to do Gaspe instead. I was in west virginia earlier this summer and motels were...
