All Activity

@N3FOL Yes it is! It is our HST(Federal tax) and PST(Provincial tax)which we pay on all purchases except food which is PST only! So when I bought my parts it cost me $48can in tax.

That 13% tax is a little on the high don't you think? You are probably used to it by now. I was not aware Canada has that much on sales tax.

@RDawsonThanks for the information and offer, have a couple more dealers to try yet! Probably just use some gasket material I have leftover from gasket I made for clutch cover last fall to save time!

Partzilla shows to have the gasket in stock. I think I have one if you don’t find it.

@N3FOL OEM parts from Yamaha dealer is $585can + 13%tax for the Stator, which is on back-order! Almost $300can +13%tax for the Voltage Regulator(which is available) so much better deal with a part that people say is better!

You did the right thing. Priorities first aka family matters before riding. Friday delivery is not too far away.

Glad you are able to get the parts you need despite some minor issues with the gasket. I was just thinking, those bike parts are not cheap at all. Best of luck and sounds like the weekend is maintenance day for you.

@N3FOLyes I finally stopped procrastinated and on the way to fix, miss ridding but things were always coming up that had to take care of first!

@N3FOLJust ordered a new Ricks Motorsports Stator, Kimpex HD Voltage Regulator and a gasket for Stator. Nobody has a Cover2 gasket for the chrome cover behind Stator cover(Cover1) from Fort Nine in Montreal Quebec Canada $433can free shipping! Should arrive by Friday or Saturday!

Hope you can get your new Stator installed and back to riding again.

Looks Good

Selling my 2008 RSV S . 55000 miles, brand new tires, everything works, great ride. $3000. Comes with helmets, headsets, extra plugs, few gaskets, set of Barrons, jack and adapter, even the next oil change. It runs out like new. It is in Fayetteville, NC. Contact me at 910-818-2262 or hdhtr2000@aol.com

Thanks again to @Marcarlfor his help on Saturday morning to help me check my Stator! I'm in the process of pricing out a new Stator and gaskets. Dealer wants $550can and is on back order right now. Went to another shop and they can get me a Ricks Stator for $340can + tax and is in-stock. Phantom Wife says to get one and nobody has the gasket for Cover2 but I can get the Cover1 gasket! Not going to buy a replacement Voltage Regulator as it over $250can and @Marcarl opinion is the old one should be OK!

Need to wash my van today as well. 68°F for a high and lots of sun today.

Finished up a shop project and yesterday took a ride on the trike maybe about 2 hours. came back home and started loading the camper. Now I'm washing the truck and the camper hoping to get to use it later.

Good morning to all! Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend. It was a busy weekend for me worked and spent some family time yesterday. Sunny and mild today. So many things to do, but I'll do them one small step at a time. First in line...cut the grass. Have a great week.

@RDawson did you hear from him?

Your welcome Ron. Glad you got to put it to use.

Okay I have never done the carbs on one of these bikes but I have now so thanks to everyone that had some input I rode the bike today and it runs better than it has since the FIL has had it. A special thanks to Motorcycle Mike I used the carb tune that I got from him and it worked great.

Great clutch system did mine on 2008 Venture pulled trailer no slipage total miles on bike now 112046 great product

Hi all, sorry for not being here for a while. Life gets in the way with health problems, but all is well now. I did pick up a couple older bikes. One is a 95 Harley Road King with 37548 miles I got from my brother when he passed. the other is a 78 Yamaha 550 that my son and I are restoring.

I wish someone would have talked me out of this, but hopefully I'll get it back together. It's just shop time.

If I had used my whiskey the carbs would not have been dirty.

What you get from burning your whiskey instead of drinking it.
