Got my class 6 test later at 215 today. Completely forgot about it so going in pretty blind D: hope it's similar to the class 5

How'd it go? :D?

z3german 10-01-2012 04:17 PM

PASSED! One point off from fail. Didn't shoulder check enough. It's dumb as hell, I already felt I was shoulder checking wayyyy too much, to the point where it's more dangerous than anything ==, and he still nicked me on not shoulder checking every single position change from 3 to 1 and vice versa. Other than the shoulder checking I did fine!

For people who need to take the test keep in mind I literally didn't know I had the class 6 test until 2 hours before thanks to my trusty iPhone. Not as hard as it seems but practice the shoulder checking, it's really disorienting after the number of times they WANT you to shoulder check

Has anybody ever filled out that online parts request form on Burnaby Kawasaki's website and gotten a response? I can't find an actual e-mail address, just online forms

I'm in no rush for info otherwise I'd just call. That, and I'm half way around the world at the moment lol

Any good places to take a used bike to for a pre-purchase inspection?

imperial or bayside

imperial is a little (a very very little) more friendly for service though, but bayside has better stuff to buy.

maybe its because imperial has sarah and shes smokin hot LOL

15 mins. Great video

Can anyone point me towards rules/legislation about the backs of our bikes in terms of licence plates, brake lights, signals, splash guards, and reflectors? Bike's potentially going under irreversible transformation, gotta make sure I'm staying legal lol

Raid3n 10-05-2012 04:12 AM

anyone know of any shops that do custom pipes? mine are rotted to shit, and it'll be next to impossible to find stock, let alone aftermarket...

BillyBishop 10-05-2012 08:00 AM

^ for your gixxer? Let me know if you find a shop... I'm looking for a 4-1 header for my zx6e and may just go custom.

gdoh 10-05-2012 09:03 AM

how do you guys prep your bikes for winter storage?? im going to have to keep my bike outside during the winter. it will be out of the rain and snow but still outside. i was thinking of buying a cover and chaining it to my patio steps

is it cheaper to just find a shop to keep it at until next season??

winter storage isnt that bad, 50 a month and usually the shops insurance covers the bike so thats a double win. I think they also provide a battery tender but check, if so its triple win! just remember to top up gas, fuel stabilizer etc.

If your going to look for a shop to store your bike I strongly suggest you start inquiring now because they fill up quick from what i've heard.

EMS has both home and at the shop options

Did you check the chop shop or supersport motorworks in Langley? Link

Raid3n 10-06-2012 04:08 AM

not a chance either will have a GSXR400. it wasn't sold in north america... come to think of it, i don't think we got ANY sport 400....

gixxer400 and cbr400 and nsr400 are all grey bikes


****

BillyBishop 10-06-2012 05:15 AM

^ not as sporty as those you listed... but in terms of 400 there's the CB1 and the Ninja 400R

Raid3n 10-06-2012 11:59 AM

I'd never let any bike sit outside for winter....

I'd pay someone to store it for me.
