    I note that there are 2227 threads in the 1st gen tech talk while there are 1919 threads in the 2nd gen tech talk. I won't speculate on what that is saying....draw your own conclusions...

    I just got off the phone with ICBC and according to the operator, the restriction came into effect 1987. Anything prior to that was grandfathered.

    I, for one, am with ya 110% ! And if you have no history of living in BC, you really don't know. As of a few days ago, we are now the proud holders of the title of having the lowest minimum wage in all of Canada... a min wage that has not been increased in over 8 years... isn't that just wonderful!!! I'm so skeered this thread is gonna go south ...

    Amsoil is no different than other oils as far as what filter is used; however, I think Amsoil produces filters so that could have been a "sales gimmick"...??? let us know the results on your scoot re: adding the MotorKote.

    I don't know about a clutch reducer but I'd be looking into why your hand is hurting. These hydraulic clutches don't take a lot of effort or strength to hold the lever in (at least it doesn't seem that way for me) and I've ridden my son's Sporty and a few other bikes which has a cable and even those for me didn't seem all that bad albeit a bit more effort is req'd on those. All the best in your quest (no pun intended)

    Thinking about this more, I realize it probably doesn't apply to me because, I got my class 6 before ICBC came into being so I doubt those restrictions even existed way back then. If I recall correctly, ICBC was formed somewhere around 1972.

    I just poked around the ICBC website. Some of it was contained within PDF documents.

    Sailor, does your son have, on his license, a #13 restriction? Some "snippits" from ICBC... ** Limited-speed motorcycles – Any B.C. driver’s licence Can be operated with any class of driver's licence. Learners require a Class 6 or Class 8 motorcycle learner’s licence. Where an original driver’s licence applicant intends to operate only a limited speed motorcycle, the applicant would apply for a class 5 or class 6 driver’s licenceor a class 7 or 8 learner’s licence. Upon qualification on the class 6 or 8 road test, conducted on a limited speed motorcycle, the applicant would be issued a class 6 or 8 licence with restrictions 13 “class 6 or 8 not permitted to carry passengers” and 51 “Limited speed motorcycles only”. A limited-speed motorcycle is defined as: • No more than 50 cc engine displacement or 1.5 kw motor rating. • Does not require clutching or shifting after the drive system is engaged. • Has a maximum speed on level ground of 70 km/h. • Weighs no more than 95 kg excluding fuel and batteries. • Wheels must be 25.4 cm in diameter or more. Q. Are there any restrictions that may be placed on a Class 6 or 8 licence? Your licence may be restricted depending on the type or size of motorcycle used for your road test: • If you take your road test on a motorcycle 200 cc or less, you will be issued a licence restricting you from carrying passengers. • If you take your road test on a motor scooter, you will be issued a licence restricting you to riding motor scooters only. • If you take your road test on a trike or on a motorcycle with sidecar, you will be issued a licence restricting you to riding only threewheeled motorcycles. I hope you or your son fights this "tooth and nail". I'd sure like to know when this "restriction" came into effect.

    uh...ohhhhh... careful, this one's "goin south" (political)

    Seems like a lotta B/S to me. I got my class 6 in 1969 on a 125cc bike. There is nothing on my license that refers to any restrictions. I am going to have to look into this but on the surface it almost appears to be some sort of "cash-grab" conjured up by some pencil-pusher in our Government. And I ain't goin any further with that!! ggrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!! Oh, and I might add that even in 1969, after getting my class 6, I carried a passenger...nothing was said then that I could not....a class 6 did not have any restrictions to pasengers to the best of my knowledge. Seems a bit strange since many of the bikes in those days were under 200cc anyway. And that makes me wonder how in the h3ll they would even know what size of bike I took my test on....I honestly doubt that was even a consideration. ggrrrrrrrrrrrrr this makes me mad! I feel bad for your son!... dang, what an ordeal.

    Jeff... after changing it 5 times, has the whine been eliminated or at least reduced to an acceptable level?
  23. SilvrT
    It cost me $75 and it took the mechanic less than 10 minutes!! No removal of the tank.
  24. SilvrT
    it prolly happened so fast you didn't even notice it.....
  25. SilvrT
    on "MY" computer??? ... this happens when YOU click the link...it says it might do this to MY computer??? how can that be??? :rotf: All kidding aside, something else must be causing that but you "may" get a "Please read below before entering our free Technical Support Library " page and you have to click the link at the bottom. Also, because of the above you will probably have to do a search for "clutch basket" and poke around until you find the one for changing it. You will get a few pages of results and I think the one you want is on the 3rd page. It's easy to spot as the subject is partly in Red and is titled "Removing the Clutch Basket".
