Calgary's Newest Kawasaki ATV Dealer!

We have been a Kawasaki motorcycle dealer for a very long time, and are now pleased to be adding Kawasaki ATVs to our line-up. All 2008 models will be available, as will parts and accessories and the best service in the industry.

Check www.kawasaki.ca for all the latest information and to take a look at the all new 2008 Brute Force 750 4x4i with EFI – coming soon to the Bow Cycle showroom!

Now in Stock!

We've got so much new product coming in that it's hard to keep track of it all. It does however put a smile on your face, during this recent string of miserable weather that we have been having. The all new 2008 Kawasaki Ninja 250 and the lime green 2008 Z1000 are on display as is the all new Can-am DS450. Almost all of the new MX bikes are in-stock - including the ultra cool white YZs. The showroom is packed so come down for a look!

In the accessories department we barely have room for it all: Scorpion Helmets, Fox, Shift, Joe Rocket, Moose Racing, Spy, Alpinestars, Icon, Power Trip, HJC, Shoei, BRP, Spyder, Spyke. It's crazy! We are set to have all the new 2008 product on display by March 1st, so check the web for updates and be the first to see the new stuff in person.

2008 Calgary Boat & Sportsman's Show

The Calgary Boat and Sportsman's Show takes place from February 14th through the 17th at the Roundup Centre at Stampede Park. We will have the latest 2008 Sea-doos and Can-Am ATV's on display. Check out www.bowcycle.com at 10AM, the day of the show for updated pricing on remaining 2007 and new 2008 Sea-doo watercraft.

Bow Cycle's Next "Unofficial" Meet Us at the Hill Snowmobile Ride

I have been getting asked a lot about when we are going to the mountains next. The next planned ride will be on February 17th when we will head south to Fernie (as long as conditions are decent) for a day or 2 of riding. Of course, the rule is "the more the merrier" so if you are interested in joining us, just shoot me an e-mail and I will send you the details.

Recommended Rev-XP Modifications

Of course we have been out riding and testing the new Summit 800R Rev XPs, and from what we have been able to see so far the best set-up seems to be to go with heavier set-screws in the clutch. This will lessen the strain on the belt and increase reliability. Also, venting the clutch side panel helps a great deal with clutch overheating. We suggest the SLP Flow Rite vents ($34) as they are easy to install and come with a pre-filter.

Other useful upgrades include adding a pipe (pricing varies), Simmons Skis ($475), fat bars ($169) with risers ($99) and quick clickers ($69.95) for easy clutch adjustments.

For a little weight reduction and better airflow remove all of the engine compartment trim (which requires you to re-locate your tool kit to the other side of the machine) and you should have the perfect sled.

Yamaha Power Equipment Now Available

Just another reminder that we are now pleased to be selling the best power equipment in the industry - Yamaha generators and pumps. Every year we always deal with spring flooding – be proactive and invest in a Yamaha pump today. While you are at it, pick up a generator for the RV.

BRP Dealer Meeting

The 2008 BRP dealer meeting takes place January 26th through 29th in Tampa Florida. My rep has promised me that there are going to be a few surprises as BRP continues to lead the industry in product innovation. Could we see a side-by-side? Outlander 1000? No confirmation has been given on anything and lips are sealed! Check www.bowcycle.com for the most up-to-date news and for some spy photos from the show.
