Yeah, I never let my tires get all the way to the wear bars. I’m too attached to my skin.

Yep, that’s them. When the city killed my email account after I retired I lost about 1/2 my contacts.

I threw out all my cassettes years ago. I can stream my own playlists or full albums from Pandora or Apple Music. I got one of Edsets Bluestreak units before he went out of business to Bluetooth music and phone calls through the speakers or headsets.

Will the bike roll in gear with engine off and clutch engaged?

Does anybody remember the new couple that showed up for one day last year at Asheville? Maybe with @dfitzbiz? They wanted a set of passenger pegs but I lost their contact. Waiting for 10 sets to come back from powder coat any day.

Checked the float levels?

Check clutch, driveshaft, final drive.

Plugs? Carbs clean and in synch? Brakes dragging? , high speeds?

Take the cover off of the ignition switch, you’ll see the hose off the right side front of the tank.

Sounds like the pushrod is out of place.

Cycle the key when it stops, listen if the fuel pump clicks normally. Really sounds like the fuel tank vent is plugged as already mentioned.

@M61A1MECHis correct, it’s a fully hydraulic system. Try lubing the lever pivot, check the calipers, and fluid.

Looks like a blast.

Does that mean it sounds crappy? 🤣🤣🤣

My lower legs get soaked on the RSV, I do miss the 1st Gen fixed fairing in the rain.

I don’t have one either, my cassette deck is long gone anyway. Thought somebody here might want it.

After removing the final drive you can just pull the drive shaft out. It can be tricky to line it up with the u-joint going back in. There is a rubber plug on top of the housing, pull the plug and use a piece of wire to line up the u-joint.

It’s that time of year again to refresh Earl’s advice, especially for the Yankees that don’t ride year round. 🤣

I’m not an expert but I think I’d shy away from it. 110 is for very high compression engines, higher than needed octane can soot it up pretty quickly.

Saw a new member from Hagerstown recently on a 99, that the new owner?

This one is a compact 45 ton Metalpro, not top of the line but great for a small shop. Punch up to 1 1/4” through 3/8 plate, shear 8”, cut 3” angle iron and 5/8 rod. I bought it when building props, it’s punched thousands of holes and sheared all my brackets for years.

I’ve never gotten that kind of mileage on a rear, my last two MC rears added together made 14k. A Shinko and a Michelin. That’s when I went darkside.

We never made it to Lake Cumberland, we went to Cumberland Falls and ended up staying at the lodge there and riding some cool mountain roads. Rode the Yamaha thru a little place called Yamacraw and up n over the mountain. As usual I didn’t think to take pics but here’s one where I was waiting for the barrel that I shoved the wife in to surface. Never found it. Heading home tomorrow since storms are moving in.
