sleepy2 Posted April 27 #376 Posted April 27 @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! 1
sleepy2 Posted April 27 #377 Posted April 27 @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! 1
N3FOL Posted April 27 Author #378 Posted April 27 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.

You did the right thing. Priorities first aka family matters before riding. Friday delivery is not too far away.
sleepy2 Posted April 27 #380 Posted April 27 @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!
N3FOL Posted April 28 Author #381 Posted April 28 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.
sleepy2 Posted April 28 #382 Posted April 28 @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. 1
N3FOL Posted April 28 Author #383 Posted April 28 Good evening to all. My busy work schedule and thinking about 'cutting the grass' is worrying me for no reason. I am sure my grass will wait for me until Friday afternoon.
sleepy2 Posted April 29 #384 Posted April 29 @N3FOL Picked up a gasket today for$12can today from dealer that had one in-stock. Thanks for your offer anyways! Now just have to wait for parts to show up! 1
sleepy2 Posted May 1 #385 Posted May 1 Got an e-mail last night about the parts I ordered! I was informed that the Stator I ordered was not available and DID NOT fit my bike like it said in the catalog so they gave me the right number for the one that does fit my bike! It will be $25 more! So now it will be next week before they arrive! 1
N3FOL Posted May 1 Author #386 Posted May 1 @sleepy2 Another $25 dollars to get the right part and a delay. Another week of waiting and you should be all set. Hang in there. I know, it can be a little frustrating when ordering online. On my end, I've been riding the SVTC all week since the morning commute has been on the chilly side. RSV will get an oil change Sunday night after work. Got called in to work once again for the weekend. I was able to cut my grass today and washed the wife's car. FWIW, 'Mission Accomplished' for Friday. Have a relaxing night.
sleepy2 Posted May 2 #387 Posted May 2 Last couple days getting around to cleaning and reorganizing garage for more access to work on bike on table lift. Too hard to lay on ground and get up every time I need something!(usually right after I get down) Newest email after reorder says sometime next week! Going to start getting bike ready today or tomorrow so I'll be able to fix when parts come in!
PastorCurt Posted May 2 #388 Posted May 2 (edited) Went on the first Venture ride today, 28° brrrr I should clarify that it was the first Venture ride of the season, we had the CanAm out in March… just before we had 36” of snow. Edited May 3 by PastorCurt 1
N3FOL Posted May 3 Author #389 Posted May 3 28° is cold on the Venture, but you went on your first Venture ride which is priceless. I usually take the SVTC on cold rides below 45°. Our consolation: Warmer days is just around the corner.
N3FOL Posted May 3 Author #390 Posted May 3 Got called in again to work Sunday morning. Must get my beauty sleep. Good night to all. 1

sleepy2 Posted Tuesday at 02:08 AM #392 Posted Tuesday at 02:08 AM Stator,Voltage Regulator and gasket dropped off by Purolator today ! Still organizing garage while working on sons lawnmower! Also got neighbors lawn cut as she is at new home and her old one is for sale! Probably start working on bike in a couple days!! 1
sleepy2 Posted 19 minutes ago #393 Posted 19 minutes ago Got garage organized enough to have more than enough room and places to put parts on when dismantling what I need to take off! Punched holes in small box to hold bolts in order of disassembly! After taking farthest chrome part(half moon shaped) from cover2 looks like there was a small leak somewhere as there is a LOT of crud on it and everything under bike! Have oil drained,exhaust disconnected, all bolts except one each cover till ready to take off and also make sure all oil is drained then will try to clean all crud from oil pan,frame ,hoses and wires before I get too far!
