    Spark Arrestors?

    My 2023 KTM 300 does not have a spark arrestor. Two-strokes run cooler than 4T. I've ordered the Enduro Engineering arrestor but it is expensive at $169.66. The Fisch spark arrestor is cheaper at $129.95 and its Canadian made in BC. But the Fisch website does not recommend them for KTM Tpi bikes.

    Insurance for my kid

    We were stopped by the OPP at Limerick last Friday. We asked if they had an issue if a kids bike was owned and insured under the parents name. The answer was No - so long as the bike was insured. I believe its $140 for an uninsured bike on the trail. However, there may be issues if you tried to...

    Installing the piston (wrist) pin clip is a pain in the a**. You can try to do it by hand, if you have strong fingers, but it’s easy to scratch the side of the piston. You can use pliers, but risk over stressing the clip. Both these methods can cause the clip to fly across the shop never to be...

    Black Bear Sighting - Calabogie

    I was ridding near the Eagles Nest at the BMA North Side Orientation when I came upon a large black bear running down the trail in front of me. Thinking that it might not be a good ideal to catch up with him, I stopped and watched as it turn into the woods. It looked big, definitely bigger than...
