Re: New Forum

I can't find an explanation of the circle beside the forums. Inside the cirle are different immages, some have scrolling horizontal black lines, some have stationary horizontal black lines, what is the difference between these two? When I 'hover' my mouse over those two, they both report the same me...

Re: good locksmith?

Anyone know where I can get a key made for an old Honda bike? I don't have the key for it and a new switch from Honda is 250 bones. I've looked for an aftermarket one with no luck. I don't want to spend alot of money on it..I just want to get it running so I can sell it but it's kinda hard to do th...

Muffler cant be too noisy or could warrant a pull over. Hmm...the last time I saw one of those loud choppers pulled over was....never. :bonk: That is one law I wish they would enforce. I have a forrestry/db compliant muffler; it's one of the biggest complaints about off road bikes, and I'm glad I h...

I wanted lights for my PW50 last spring. On that famous online auction site, I got a battery powered headlight with bar mount, and a battery powered tailight, from a guy in China. I believe they were meant for bicycles. Total cost for all, including shipping, $10. After waiting a few weeks, I wonder...

I've always (20-30 years) used BelRay MC-1 (am I the only one not using opti?) and I've had no issues with it. I agree with wr_dave, any good quality oil will be ok, stay away from the cheap stuff.

My previous bike (yz400f) I took to Paul Lavoie (403) 399-3076. I haven't talked with him for about 2 years, so I don't know if he still offers his skills. He is a mechanic for Blackfoot Racing (streetbikes), and when he's not at a race with the team, he works out of his home garage (between Dewinto...

Glad to see you've upgraded the pipe and silencer. Makes such a huge difference vs. stock with that bike. I may even have a bunch of engine gaskets laying around for those bikes (I also had a 92 RM250) if you want 'em. I'll see if I can find them. That would be great, let me know what you have left...
