Hello all, I haven’t been on the forum in quite a while… went out for a ride yesterday and today to enjoy the lovely weather. Just thought I’d say hi to everyone and looking forward to the coming riding season. Unfortunately I have been dealing with some health issues over the last couple years...

I’m looking to use an hydraulic press to put a new wheel bearing in my Ford Edge. I’m hoping someone in Scarborough can help me out. I don’t expect anything for free I’m just trying to minimize costs as it’s an older vehicle. I’m near Warden and St Clair if anyone is able to assist. Cheers...

I’m planning a future basement bathroom install and currently reviewing the code and other details. How many fixtures am I allowed to tie into a 1.5” vent? I’ve read about using the waste line as a vent, any input is appreciated. I’ll have more questions no doubt but this is my starting point...

Box of 5, brand new. No longer useful to me. Scarborough Sent from my iPhone using GTAMotorcycle.com mobile app

New to me 2000 yz250, it was running fine a few months ago but wasn’t getting spark recently. I cleaned the plug cap and now getting a spark but the carb is pissing fuel out the drain tube. I suspect there is a float stuck but really don’t have any knowledge of carbs. Sent from my iPhone using...

Hi all, having trouble finding the definitive answer to this question. Most signs point to not needed but wanted to get a response from those that have been through it. Thanks Sent from my iPhone using GTAMotorcycle.com mobile app

Not as exciting as the title may suggest. I had a random little mushroom pop up over night in my aloe plant pot. I’m just curious if anyone knows the variety it is @shanekingsley the resident horticulturalist Sent from my iPhone using GTAMotorcycle.com mobile app

Anyone have a resource for interior paint? There are years of old paint peeling off that will need scraping and then a fresh coat. It’s not a large area but it’s in a stairwell and hallway so I feel it’s probably easier if I just give it to a pro. Thanks Sent from my iPhone using...

This is likely a stupid question (mine tend to be lol). So the exhaust on my FZ09 is quite loud. It’s a full system although I haven’t been able to find any indication of brand. I do like it but I doubt the neighbours etc do. I also have the stock exhaust but I’d like to see if I can quiet...

I can’t let Evo have all the fun around here. Just picked up a new (to me) FZ09 on the weekend. I love it and can’t wait to rack up the kilometres! On the other side I’m going to sell the SV which has been a great bike and I’ve had a lot of great rides on it. I hate to see it go but it just...

I had a new tire put on last fall and it’s had a slow leak since. Due to some other things going on in life I didn’t ride much after it was put on or I would have taken it back to the shop that put it on. Fast forward I sprayed some soapy water on it and there are a few spots along the bead that...

I’m curious to hear feedback about this bike, especially from some of the members with experience on these older machines. I have the opportunity to pick one up for a very reasonable price. I know for sure it hasn’t run in several years. Some parts (specifically carbs, I’m sure others) aren’t...

Any input? Experience? Canadian company, seems to be well priced, some decent reviews but I’m always cautious with the new players on the market. I like my old reliables. https://www.cfmoto.ca/en/ Sent from my iPhone using GTAMotorcycle.com mobile app

Possibly a topic that’s been covered previously but... I’m thinking about picking up a dual sport. Something to run around the cottage and crown trails with friends on their ATVs. I was looking at a CRF450x as I like the four strokes low maintenance but I’m not sure if it can be plated for...

Looking for opinions and thoughts on if it’s worthwhile. I’ve heard different points of view over the years. I wouldn’t waste my money doing it on a leased vehicle but what about a vehicle you intend to keep? Sent from my iPhone using GTAMotorcycle.com mobile app

I was riding on the highway yesterday and ended up stuck in traffic, nothing new. Suddenly my bike stalls and won’t start, turns over very slowly. Thankfully a good samaritan pulled over right away to give me a boost. Hooked up the cables and bike fires right up. I rode home without issue. I...

As the title implies I’m looking to knock down a load bearing wall in my house. It’s been hard to get quotes and while I think I have a general idea of the cost it would be nice to get a couple quotes so I can be sure I’m not getting ripped off. Any recommended contractors? Anyone here...

I remember someone posting an article a while back about the development/progression/changes to the roads in Canada or maybe just Ontario over the decades. My search skills are admittedly not helping me on this one. Anyone else remember and able to help? Sent from my iPhone using...

The front brake on my bike has been less than linear for some time. It’s definitely something I should have addressed sooner but the time has come. It is an intermittent issue but is not infrequent. I’d like to think a brake system flush would solve the issue but I doubt it. Any suggestions as...

Which do you recommend? Car needs some help as it is getting a little noisy. I haven’t had a chance to get underneath to diagnose due to the winter but sounds like a smaller hole after the manifold or a leak at the joint. Sent from my iPhone using GTAMotorcycle.com mobile app
