Hi,
I bought a bunch of riding gear last year in anticipation of getting a bike but never did.
I just started riding a couple of months ago and due to my loosing a lot of weight over the winter everything is way too big.
I tried to make due with the items up till now, but they are way too big...
Thanks everyone,
FWIW, I just came back from the MTO... here is what they are making me do (Which I don't have a problem with)
1) Complete a legal Affidavit with certain information they need to see.
- I state that I am the legal owner of the bike (based on statements made in the rest of the...
Hi,
I just purchased an old bike (1982 Kawasaki) for a silly price.
It was a roachy barn find that I initially bought for parts, but when I got it home and cleaned it up a bit, the darn thing fired right up.
It needs work, but if I can get it legally on the road I may put the effort into it...
Hi,
I am looking to purchase these two items.
I need the Helmet in an XL and the pants in a 2XL (Short)
Who would have the best prices on items like these in Canada or who ships from US with reasonable shipping/border fees?
Thanks,

Hi,
Would it be a good or bad idea to go up in size when it comes to tires?
Bike is a 83 Kawasaki 440 LTD
Stock is:
Front: 3.25-19 (or 90/90-19)
Rear: 130/90-16
Would it be okay to go to a 100/90 front and 140/90 rear?
Any drawbacks in going to a wider tire?
Could I go any bigger than a...
I need to get some new tires for my bike.
I think I have it narrowed down to either:
Shinko 777
Pirelli MT66
Bridgestone S11 SPITFIRE
(still undecided though)
I need:
Front - 3.25-19 (Which I think is a 90/90-19)
Rear - 130/90 - 16
Ideally looking for a tire with a whitewall or big...
Sure.... I don't see why not.
It's a 4 carb Morgan Carbtune..... works really well.
Managed to get my really out of balance twin perfectly balanced using it.

For sale:
ZOX "ALTO" half helmet in black.
Size XL
Brand new
Never worn
Still in box with all packaging
It is too big for me and I need to switch it for a smaller size, unfortunately the store I bought it from will not exchange or allow returns on helmets.
If interested please...
Hi,
Wondering if anyone might have a carb balancing tool in the Burlington area the would let me use it to get my bike setup?
Or.... anyone know where I could buy one for a reasonable price in the area?

Hi,
I just picked up an 83 Kawasaki 440LTD as my first bike.
I am going to do all the regular maintenance stuff to make sure it is tip top.
My initial list looks like this and I wouldn't mind a sanity check to make sure I am getting the right stuff.
Oil - Shell T6 Rotella Oil
Oil Filter -...
I'll take your word for it. I don't actually get it till Friday. ;)
So, if I have a centre stand... I don't need stands like these?
What about a motorcycle jack?
Apparently this one:

Is going on sale this...
Should I be investing into something like these:

http://www.princessauto.com/pal/en/Stands/Front-Motorcycle-Wheel-Stand/8321473.p
Do I need to buy both?
OR.... should I be looking at something different?

Thanks.... great advice...
I am actually quite mechanically capable having worked on cars for many years.
I think I was intimidated by not having worked on a bike before and didn't want to screw things up.
The more I read the repair manual and see how basic stuff is, I think I am more than...
Any recommendations for a place to get parts for an 83 Kawa 440 LTD?
I need things like:
Oil Filter
Brakes
Chain (Maybe)
Air Filter
Spark Plugs
(Basically the maintenance things)
Ideally a Canadian company would be fine due to shipping and duty costs, or if you know of a US place that ships...
