Thank goodness the closet I have ever been to Freezing rain is ice fog and is that fun. Got to work and front of bike and mirrors looked like an ice sculpure lol. Had to wipe visor every couple of seconds.
I have no idea how you are going to ride that thing when you let her loose. I have riden many Turbo Apex's (330hp) and Turbo Nytro's (220hp) snowmobiles and it takes every bit of weight I have leaning forward to keep the ski's down. Sleds are a different bread as when climbing you want the...
Rode the bike to work yesterday but thinking will be the last ride of the season as temps in long range forecast are barely above freezing. Yesterday was a cool ride with highs of only plus 3 Cel.
Also having some issues with starting, when bike sits for extended periods and it starts it is...
Yamaha already has a 1050cc triple......it is in their Nytro snowmobile and is a great motor.
In fact on that motor you can get from Yamaha either a MC express super charger of turbo to bump the power to the 225hp range.
About time is shows up in a bike.
I get this when oil level is mid in the sight glass, top it up to top of glass and it stops. Mine also comes on after riding for a couple of minutes, usually on cooler days when oil is still cool. I am thinking the sensor is giving a false reading as seeing that the oil is thicker it is...
I posted a pic on this site last year of my plugged tire, after about 500 miles the tires started to split at the plug........was good enough reason for me never to plug again unless it is in an emergency situation to get you to a shop
turned out to be my kick stand plastic disk rattling in the tail section. I carry a spare under the seat and it worked its way forward to were I have my speedo healer and was causing the problem.
Something so small was driving me crazy.
But what is worse is now my does not want to start...
Grew up riding with no helmet usually in shorts and no shirt back in the 80's.....guess looking back young, stupid and lucky!
Only time used to use a full face was on the highway heading to Grand Beach cause the damn bugs.
Now I do not ride without a helmet and 95% will Joe Rocket jacket and...
I am thinking you can probably find the info on Pat's Motorcycle page

How are your tires? I had a high speed wobble and could not figure out what was causing it, turned out to be a worn rear tire.
Yes there is parcel shipping in Pembina actually less than an hour away from me. I ususally buy tires from Jake Wilson and have gotten great pricing in the past. I think I might hold off till next spring and then thinking about going to a set of michilins Pilot Road 3's and see if I get a bit...
I will have to check this as I did have the tank off. I also noticed that my spare plastic side stand disk was moved around in the tail section and was against my fender, I wraped it back up and have not heard the noise.
I checked brakes, head bearings all good.
Was thinking maybe EXUP as I...
Thanks....I know brake pads are about 50% worn as just checked them and being on the brake does not stop noise.
I will check head bearing but was ok a year ago.
Will keep you posted, but it sounds like marbels in the gas tank
It is driving me crazy.....just started about a week ago and comes and goes, when I am coming to a stop there is a clanking / rattle noise that sounds like it is something on the gas tank.
Of course when I am stopped cannot find it, or when I take my helmet off it is not doing it.
Also noticed...
Question here in Winnipeg a dealer has a 07 Tuono forsale, low mileage and asking 8g's, I looked at it and asked about dealer network and was told....NO DEALERS in Canada and he was not sure about the USA.
He went on to say most likely will have to order parts from the UK, that was when I got...
