    Looks like you have a short memory (what memory), after all I was at your place last month. I even gave you a Yamaha Canada ball cap, even bought lunch while we were out on a ride. Come over to PIP, I'll be there on the friday afternoon (as per my current plan). Or can't you ride for more than a few hours...........:stirthepot:

    Request for mailing address sent by PM. FYI, As stated in the PM, mailing will be dependent on me being able to hit the post office, before leaving for PIP. Or it will be mailed while enroute to PIP.

    The bird story:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: Like parking a CDN military helocopter on its side, on a Navy ship's landing pad..... For those that are un-aware, of what we are still attempting, to keep in the air (for now, replacements are ordered). Aprox 40 year old "Seaking" helocopters. :mo money::fingers-crossed-emo BTW do you crew in one of these?????

    Nope, no reset at all. 3 things come to mind & remember there are sensors for both front, rear masters..... Unplugged sensor connector Dirty contacts at connector Damaged wires for sensor You can use a jumper wire, to bypass the sensor at the connectors, in order to determine which one is causing the warning. Start with the rear one, as it is along the frame, under the side cover & easy to get at. Unplug sensor wires from wiring harness, insert jumper, turn ignition on & see if the indicator goes out on the CMS unit. If needed do the same for the other sensor.

    If you are going to clean it out, better break out the Seafoam........:rotf:

    Check with Bongobobny, as he plans to change his front forks over to the Mk2. Also call this place, as they are closer & had a 1st gen at their salvage location last December, when I was around there (think it was a Mk1, can't remember off hand)...... Victoria Motorcycle Sales & Salvage D-611 David Street, Victoria, BC V8T 2C9 Telephone : 250-383-1912

    Why not just pull it out & match it up locally.

    The OEM short was 20.5 inches, tall was about 22 inches. This is measured top to bottom edge in the centre area. I prefer the 20.5 height myself, for riding in fog & rain.

    Brad, you know with Cindy, it is one or the other, she can't do both at the same time.....

    I can't this year, I am out in the training area most days including weekends, since Kitchner, just to get to PIP. Look at the time of day I'm posting this, I just got back in & went out at 7:00 AM Tuesday with this course & I'm even getting back 14 hours early. By the looks of it, I head out with a course Monday & get back Friday next week. There are the day trips as well. As I told you, the cage & trailer could be dropped in Nevada & ride from there, as there is probably someone from there going too.

    Same here.........

    I think for the time being, we will keep the Friesman1 copy in Canada. I will try to see "Abby" here in Wainwright, about viewing & practicing it, before it leaves the area. I just need to catch him on shift, at the base fire hall. So you other Canucks, get on the list, before it heads stateside.......

    Forget the soon, sounds like you don't have a choice now. Better start looking for one......

    That will also probably be Friesman1, heading to Ventureswest soon.:stirthepot:

    I had suggested to the Yamaha Canada reps at the rally, the ability to have either footing position, that could be an option. Now it is wait & see what happens.

    Including to the rotor itself $$$$$$. I'm not positive on some specifics with the 2nd gens, but I'd say you would have to unbolt the right rear saddle bag to get at the rotor & caliper. Remove rear caliper from its mount point (do not dis-connect the brake line), push the caliper pistons back into the housing, after loosening the rear master cylinder cover (allowing air & exess fuild to flow out). I normally use waterpump pliers, with a cloth between the jaw & finished surface of the caliper housing & do it with the old pads still in place. Replace the pads & start re-installing & tighten master cylinder cover.
