  1. I lean the bike over on the side as much as possible and that usually gets half a liter or more of oil. When its on the center stand there's only so much oil that can drain out.....
  2. Doubt it if it’s chain oil. Mine also has an odour when first parked which I assumed was more to do with the exhaust then anything else. The emission controls they put in these exhausts today probably get pretty hot and emit the smell even after parked. At least that’s what I believe....
  3. I'd be curious how that comparison turns out in a side by side run??
  4. 7,000 kms already this spring? 😉or total for the bike? Nice pic btw
  5. Too funny! translation: "I'm not keen to freeze my nuts off"
  6. Je sais, je dois annuler mon rendez-vous de service aujourd'hui🤬
  7. Very nice Warchild! You should black out the fork legs to get the complete look 👍🏻
  8. How was it "not a perfect fit"? Can you share a photo with more detail about what your talking about? Is there another option for the install other then drilling holes in the fender? thx in advance from your neighbor in Laval
  9. Here in Quebec our registration is yearly. Our registration costs are classified according to the bike "style" you ride. Sport, standard and 400cc or less. The rates include a "no-fault insurance" element that covers you personally (medical, i.e. disability etc) even if your the responsible driver in an accident. The rates even for the 400cc bikes are astronomical compared to most places I know. To register my GT yearly its a whooping $680. This doesn't cover your actual bike insurance. I often think they are just trying to get motorcycles off the road here. Gixers and R1's cost north of $1,500 to register each year
  10. Randy, So it was the adjuster nut that broke? The nut that you turn to adjust the tension of the chain?
  11. I have the same colour...IMO it wouldn’t have been my first choice either but since getting the bike I find it growing on me. There’s a possibility I’ll try getting it wrapped down the road but I’m in no rush.
  12. Pretty sure you would have already noticed a performance drop if it was bad. It’s a nasty knock just the same. Do you ride off road?
  13. That sucks! keep us posted how it turns out. I'm thinking of going for it in the next month. Hopefully they will have stock by then....
  14. I'm interested in finding out if there were any surprise costs involved such as duties or extra shipping charges? What was the time frame in shipping as well? Thx in advance
  15. Does anyone have a tracer gt with the DARK Mra touring screen? Searched for it on the web and came up with only the grey version. Twisted throttle doesn't have a photo available of one either. Want to see what it looks like compared to the grey option
  16. I'm surprised to hear a dent could cause this pulsating. They way people play (i.e. shortening their mufflers, putting/taking out the db inserts play with a motors back pressure) with their exhaust these days would cause horror scenarios if that was the case....of course if the dent is huge that might be different...
  17. Did anyone notice that chain?😬
  18. Is the Givi mounting plate compatible with the Yamaha OEM TOPBOX mount bracket? I have the givi plate and topbox already off my fz1
  19. roadwarrior.. how do you like your screen? Satisfied or just happy it’s better then stock?
  20. Would you recommend these knock-offs considering the price savings?
