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.

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

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.

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

I'd pay someone to store it for me.
