If you pull up to my place you’ll be alone. We’re at the Finn n Feather too. My number is 270-293-2845. Early American is next door, just look for the coolest colored bike Yamaha ever made and you’ll find us. (07 blue/black). From what the weather man’s saying my place may not be here tomorrow anyway🤣🤣🤣. Storms rivaling the Mayfield tornado are forecast in the next few hours. We have no power and very little cell service already from this morning’s storms.

I sent a pm. Respond to that with your address and I’ll get a quote. UPS sometimes does ok across the border.

1st gen MK1 83-85 and MKII 86-93 were frame mounted fairing bikes. Mid-mount foot pegs, feet under you. 2nd gen 99-2013 have bar mounted batwing fairings and feet forward cruiser style floor boards. they both share the 4 cylinder water cooled engine though HP was cut some on the 2nd gens. Yes you need a jack adapter since the engine hangs thru the frame. I sell a different jack adapter with legs than the one shown. Mine has a wider stance.

Come over to the get together here next month n take em home with you.

No idea, never saw a name on them. They have the mounts on them for the RSV. PO still had the OEM pipes so I immediately replaced them. Don’t like my pipes louder than my radio.

Let us know what you figure out. Every now and then something new pops up and that just adds knowledge to the site.

Before tearing into it make sure the CB is turned off. It’ll mute the radio if it picks up any signal.

It’s a wired remote. The main radio unit is inside the front fairing. If you open the fairing there is a bundle of large plugs on the right side, make sure all are clean and plugged in securely. That’s where most audio problems are, clean em and apply a little dielectric grease.

You shouldn’t need to pull the clutch if it’s in neutral. If so look at your neutral switch.

Start from cold and check the exhaust temps on all 4 cylinders right at the heads. Make sure they’re running close to each other. They run surprisingly strong on three cylinders. If you have a cold pipe start looking at the corresponding coil, plug wire, and the carbs again. These carbs can be finicky to get right sometimes but once they’re there keep good fuel in it and don’t let it set with ethanol in it. And yes they are a blast to ride and very comfortable bikes.

Finally got to meet Steve S today, my plan was to buy him lunch and barrage him with questions about his back surgery experience since I’m facing one soon. Instead he beat me to the register and paid for my lunch and helped me to feel a lot more comfortable about the surgery. He and his wife spent an hour and a half talking about bikes and experiences with me. Another great VR member. Thanks Steve.

If you can find a piece of copper pipe to use as a backer while welding it up it’ll hold your weld. Then pull the copper out when finished.

Wish you were close by. I have a set of mufflers that came with my bike, too loud for me.

Congratulations

I get mine from Amazon.

Definitely something aftermarket. Any pics?

I don’t know, haven’t seen him since Covid. I think he’s touring into a hermit, won’t come out to see his friends. 🤣🤣🤣

Not too many of us WKY members. I’m in Murray, make a run over here in June and meet several members from all over.

Happy to hear it’s going well.

Sorry to hear that, Im really looking forward to seeing everyone again that we haven’t seen since Covid interrupted our get togethers. I have been talking to another long time member from up north about the possibility of having a get together up there next summer. Hopefully that can come to fruition and we’ll all have a chance to catch up.

Couple hours from the Corvette plant and museum. 1-1/2 hours from Nashville. Bourbon trail is further east of us. National quilt museum in Paducah if you want to learn how to sew. Southern Missouri/North Arkansas has some mountains and riding I hear, we haven’t made it over there yet. Bass Pro Memphis Pyramid if you’re into that. If you’re into fishing hang around a day or two, the new boat should be here by then. Room for 3 or people to fish in it. St Louis is about 4 hrs away if you like baseball.

Slide the rubber boot off the canister and you’ll see the adjustment nuts on each side of a tab. I’ve still got one in the parts bin, I’ll try to get a picture tomorrow.

Behind the left lower fairing. There’s an adjustment on the actuator there and make sure the push/pull cables from the throttle don’t have slack.

Glad it fixed the problem. We ran some errands on the bike today, gonna pre-ride a route tomorrow for the rally.
