What did you get?

That thing charges too high for our power sports batteries. You don't want to exceed 1/10 the amp hour rating of the battery. Your better off with something like an optimate 3. Pay a little extra for the charger. You get what you pay for.

Just wanted to make sure the person understood what they were doing. Sorry for trying to help. Screw it. I'm done with these boards.

I see no mention of a drag bike before my post. Please tell me how I was to know that? Just saying.

I don't think the video shows the actual runs. I don't think they would have short shifted the S1000RR into 3rd before they really applied power for a real run. Rubbish? Maybe....

Actually I do. There's a place called Westex Coatings on Colby drive in waterloo. We use them for all our powder coating for the shop. When you go in there will be a stair case to the left. Go up there to the office and have a chat with them. You do realize what an extended swingarm will...

Don't do it. IF you live in toronto, and your flat rate, you might make some ok money. But if your out of the city, it's not enough. I'm a tech in waterloo, and the pay is a joke. That and getting laid off or working just a few days a week makes it really tough in the winter. Taking home a...

This thread almost went full retard, then it took an arrow to the opening post... ok yeah, that was bad.

I don't think he was questioning the cost of the repair, as much as the fact that now he has to shell out 400 bucks for something he feels shouldn't have happened.

There should be a direction arrow on the rim. If the rim is actually installed incorrectly, and you want to turn it around, you can use the rear stand to balance the bike and just throw a jack under it. That will bring the front up for you.

my 02 cents... It's not so much about the engine being warm, although dumping a lot of heat into it right away is bad, so don't right hard right away. But it's more about the oil. It takes time for the pump to pump it up to the head, and I prefer to have oil circulating through the engine...

note that you should always be checking your tire pressures cold. You'd be surprised how much it will fluctuate with only a little heat in the tires.

Does the 04 R6 even have hazards?

I personally use Motul Chain lube, obvioulsy the road version. The Tyrox stuff is really good as well.

The call on Biaggi was most certainly NOT BS. In the riders meeting of that race, the officials told the riders that there was a painted line which they had to stay on if they over ran that corner. Biaggi being Biaggi decided he is too important to go to that meeting and as a result didn't...

Am I the only one that thinks that looks like a game? ie not a real video? I mean really, when they go down the front straight he clips the guy he passes and nothing happens? C'mon... he also can't seem to stay on the track in turn 1.

You can bend that break leaver back into position without any trouble.

So why did the tire blow in the first place?

I plan on going up. Should be a good weekend. Depending on how you guys ride I may be open to riding up with some folks.

Can you measure the rotor with a mic? See if it's under spec. That sounds kinda fishy to me, the pads should smooth out a rotor like that. And if that was the case, the rotor would be under spec now and should be replaced. So measure it. Not sure what happened to your pad material, there...
