I would redo the suspension if you plan on putting your dog in there. Those Harbor Freight suspensions are a joke. It's fine for junk, but I would not haul a dog on one without some serious modifications. Take the box off, crawl up onto the trailer and jump up and down and watch the leaf springs NOT flex. I took my suspension down to just he main leaf and it's still stiff as a board. I thought about using the main leaf as a swing arm and installing a pair of shock/spring assemblies off a bicycle to smooth the ride out.

Several folks on TwoWheeledTexans are using them. I followed a group of riders going to Alaska and never lost their signal. They have to have a clear view of the sky being they run off satellite. Many mount them to the handlebars on a RAM mount or place them in the top of a tank bag or T-bag on the rack. There's not 1 bad review on the TWT site about the SPOT. I think those who give bad reviews most likely place them in a saddlebag or trunk or may have it lieing sideways.

I don't see why they wouldn't work if they are direct bolt on replacement mufflers.

Yep, you're right. You win. Congratulations.

You should be able to change the rear tire on a Wing with it on it's centerstand. http://lifeisaroad.com/stories/2006/02/10/darkWingdarksideGoldWingcarTireOnAGoldWing.html

dang, only 76hp and 75lb/ft of torque make it to the ground? That's not very good for a 100 horse engine. -
I'd hardly call a V4 leading edge technology. Honda has been using V4's for decades now that are more powerful and efficient then Yamaha.

Is it broken? I rode on my blown shock for a while, it wasn't the most comfortable and bouncy, but it was rideable. -
If there's any air in the system, it will not be as efficient as it should.
-
No, that fitting on Fords is the high side fitting coming off the condenser. The fitting your looking for will be on the fat line coming off the compressor. Just follow the fat line coming off the compressor and you'll find your low side fitting.
-
If you have an air compressor, you can evacuate the system and make it work better. Harbor Freight carries an air powered vacuum pump that will work OK in most situations. The A/C system will operate much more efficiently if it is evacuted. http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/displayitem.taf?Itemnumber=96677

Honda Yamaha and Kawasaki all use the same filter which also fits most Mazdas. Suzuki had to be different and use an oddball pitch on their threads.

I took my CD player out, it skips way too much for me. I just listen to the radio.

Im not even sure they would be more restrictive. Has anyone actually done a flow test on them?

I dont recommend using an enclosed trailer because if the bike starts to shift and come loose, you won't know about it until the next time you stop and open the trailer. If I were to tow a motorcycle, I would tow it with something like this. http://www.redbarntrailersales.com/images/TrailerPics/MC210.JPG

Yep, do a search for "StarGlide". [ame=http://venturerider.org/forum/showpost.php?p=307738&postcount=4]VentureRider.Org - View Single Post - removal of trunk[/ame] http://venturerider.org/forum/search.php?searchid=1677285 http://venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=17500&highlight=starglide

Have you checked all the fuses first? Sometimes just tapping on the fuel pump will restart it.
-
I have one off a Roadstar, but the part # is a little different. 3en-81950-00 but beneath that G8R-30Y-B 19Y9D2 Yamaha is pretty good at parts bin engineering and using a lot of the same parts across all the bikes but changing the prefix.

To answer the original question, we need to know what type of LED it is, Yes, I have seen LEDs fail in a short period of time, usually from shoddy manufacturing.
-
that's why I was wondering if this was a commercially built unit designed for 12v applications or if is a handful of diodes from Radio Shack. If it's a commercially built unit designed to run on 12 volts already, then no additional resistors should be needed. The ones I've mostly dealt with were prebuilt plug and play units and were direct replacements for incandescent bulbs. If what we're talking about is running down to Radio Shack and buying a handful of loose diodes and mounting them on the bike, then yeah, you'll need resistors because most commercially available loose diodes are rated at 20ma@5v and a 12 volt load will overcurrent it.
-
OK, let's start over. First, we need to know what kind of LEDs we are discussing. I am under the assumption that we are using a prebuilt board designed to be used in a 12v application.
-
really? How do you overcurrent something? Electrical items draw what they need, you can't force amperage into something. The reason for installing a resistor on LED's is so that turn signals won't blink at an accelerated rate.
