The web site won't let me post a response to you without quoting your reply. I don't know why, I am a paid up member....it keeps asking me to sign in... I was never posted to SJAFB, SC. I visited there once and some body in the Exchange walked up to me like he knew me and said "Hi! how ya been?" I just went along... I have no idea who it was.... I worked on JC-130, MC and AC 130s, then cross trained into Veh. Maint. I was posted at the following in turn: Hickam AFB, HI., Hurlburt Fld. FL. Eglin AFB. FL., AFI Iceland, Homestead AFB. FL., Eielson AFB. AK., Goodfellow AFB. TX., McChord AFB. WA. I retired there. I now live across the sound from McChord near Bremerton, WA. I found the wires for the circuits missing in my fuse block, apparently there fuse terminals were lost and they went to an in-line fix.... ok.... Are the all the plastic parts on the VR ABS? Has that been confirmed? I got the seat off, what's under there is kind of intimidating...I have a Yamaha manual but I also know the manual doesn't tell you all you need to know... Thanks for your kind response! I'll be checking back....feel free to email....

This my second 1st Gen. VR The first I bought used (it was an '83) and I totaled it. Some guy turned left in front of me at night. Anyway... I got this 83 the other day and it has several issues: We motored the engine by pushing it around a little; heavy bike! We put some gas in it to see if she'd start, she did after lots of attempts; she's been sitting for 2 years. On the ground under the bike is most of the 1 gallon of gas we just poured into the tank. I figure every rubber line that carries fuel is suspect. My plan is to replace them all but with generic fuel rated hose, not the Yamaha ($$$) P/Ns. Issue: anyone know the sizes of these hose(es)? Issue 2: When we got a charged battery hooked up all the lights came on including the CB, AM/FM (I didn't get any sound however) and Intercom. The head light came on too. Now I after got home (see icon below) I was connecting the Neg. battery wire to the battery when touching the wire's terminal to the battery post to position it for installation the wire's terminal got REALLY HOT/REALLY FAST! Now I know I got a short someplace, curious it didn't do that at the prev. owner's house. My Plan: Remove/or unplug everything electrical and start re-connecting them in some logical order while checking the Neg. wire's temperature between each subsequent connection. A long and tedious process. Anyone got a better way to proceed? Apparently the battery (it's the correct one) sat in the bike "un-tended" for the whole 2 years. My 16 years in the USAF's Vehicle Maintenance field tell me it's GOT to be sulfated (shorted out) Apparently not; it's charging and I'm going out to test it with the trusty(?) harbor Freight battery load tester. The 4 connectors for the 2 fuses at the bottom of the fuse panel are not there...I hope to find them today too. uypdate: found 2 inline fuses down in the handle bar well. I'm going to get the seat off, the battery box, and hopefully the fuel tank all off today to see the top of the carburetors and what is going on there. I hope the rubber lines are rotten and I don't have a rusted tank but they are avail available on ebay for a reasonable cost. Is there a repair process for the front fairing? The outboard upper corners (by the mirrors) are cracked on my bike. I have repaired fiberglass, Kevlar (on Hum Vees) and Sheet Molded Compound (SMC) (it's used on the Transvans, Fieros, and trucks. Is there a way to heat the seat on my bike?

EBC shows them in the catalog.

Replacing the fender really isn't your problem, it's the nice young man's insurance company's problem.

I bought a battery for my '99 Road Star at Waymart, I don't know who makes Wal-Mart batteries but it had the 6 outlet bottle you guys describe, it took about 1/2 hour to fill and it's sealed. I have no complaints EXCEPT the way terminals on bike batteries are designed. It's very hard to tighten the wire ends to the terminals because the ends on the wires seldom match the terminals on the battery. I wish we could have terminals like the top post car batteries have, I don't like the side mount terminal because they can be easily stripped out like the M/C battery terminals can. My next new battery will most likely come from Wal-Mart too.
