    2016 Vancouver Motorcycle Show

    ...it won't play 1080p by default...you have to click on the HD logo at the bottom right of the video window and choose whatever. It looks good on 60 inch screen then. Here's the description which says enough...... 'Team Empire did stunt riding outside in typical SW BC January weather i.e. on...

    '6th annual antique & classic motorcycle show @ Spunky's motorcycle shop, Parksville, Vancouver Island, BC. This is where I bought my KTM RC 390. There were 7 HRD/Vincents which were all ridden in as was the only Boss Hoss I've ever seen in person. My favourite is probably the immaculate...

    Machine oil choosing

    And most of all we're talking about not voiding your warranty! They and the evil company require certain specifics. What the F is the big deal!...it isn't like they are asking it for the rest of your life and from their point of view, since they could have various expensive warranty...

    Machine oil choosing

    2 wrongs still don't make a right. So I'm about to be heartbroken by evil KTM? 'Which is exactly what they are doing (lying) to you ....' ...what the?...were talking about what oil and filter a manufacturer wants to be used in their vehicles...and KTM has patterned with Motorex KTM & Motorex...

    Machine oil choosing

    Well I'd rather not lie. Big deal I bought a KTM oil filter which was around what the K&N cost while I also bought about 5 L's of Motorex which will take me well beyond warranty. They told me also that the recommended change interval after the initial 1,000 kms was 7,500kms or one year...which...

    LED turn signals the rest of the world (outside of N.America) gets

    I should have mentioned the back LED's are plug and play with the wires the same length as with the US DOT ones. However I spliced in wire extensions in the fronts which were a little over a foot long. The front US DOT signals plug in below the tank cover at its' midpoint so the easiest thing to...

    LED turn signals the rest of the world (outside of N.America) gets

    I've noticed previously, and mentioned it in this forum, that the parts diagram for the RC 390 EU (White ABS) shows a 65W H9 for the highbeam and a 55W H11 for the low. Our bikes do have dual H11 sockets so you do need to trim off the top tab in the H9 to fit...commonly done by car people...

    Machine oil choosing

    When I had the 1,000km service on mine the service department said it's OK if I changed the oil myself for the remainder of the warranty but to use the Motorex and KTM oil filters only to not void the warranty. They didn't mind that I put in a K&N air filter but I guess I won't use the K&N oil...

    Let's see your RC

    Oh these damned persistent neighbours (< proper spelling in the British Commonwealth)...always wanting more. ...and always at least one or another here every single day for Christ's sake. I wish I moved here 30 years earlier, but better late than never.

    Rev Limiter Came On

    Yes...anytime you change something on anything and then you have undesired consequences the first thing to do is to undo that change...or in Microsuck thinking 'back up and restore', save system image, etc. ...But for now why not just reset the shift light to a higher rpm and see what happens...

    Coleman 4x4 !!!

    3 more pictures When I first saw Hawaii Mars it was from a Provincial Park a fair ways away to the west of it but it still made for a staggering sight. Then I drove on some paved back roads in its' direction and found their base. The security guard let me in and told me as much as he...

    Coleman 4x4 !!!

    I've had a guy ask if he could take a picture of mine, you notice people looking at it often and really it makes economy cars look like gas guzzlers. It's today's equivalent of the little Ducati singles of the 1960's-1974 (which Ducati have blown by not making anything like them for decades now)...
