  1. I'm using KIA 26300-2Y500. Got a 10 pack on ebay for $48 Looks just like a Yamaha OEM filter. Crosses over to a Fram MC filter PH 6017
  2. Have put about 1500 miles on my 2011 since April when I got it. (I don't ride during our AZ summer) I like it a lot but it sure is heavy. Appreciate all the advice on here when I first signed up. Just had rotator cuff surgery so I wont be riding for a while and when I do I'll likely ease back into it on my 04 V Strom 1000.
  3. I removed the cables from the carb, problem is the carbs. Removed them for a cleaning / inspection. It will be a few days but I will post an update.
  4. Thanks for the link to the Carb removal post (it's great") and advice. The reason I assume it is the carbs causing the throttle being stuck is the bike has been sitting un started for over a year. Before I bought it the owner was fine with having me pull the fuel tank and looking for a reason why the throttle wouldn't turn, seeing no obvious mechanical issue with the cables or linkage and the fact that the gas had that horrible varnish smell I guessed it was severely gummed up. It did crank over fine (had to bring my own battery) On a side note I found the ad for the bike on offer up and it was over a year old. When I asked the guy why just one ad on one site he said his wife wanted him to sell it and he hated to so he felt that met her requirement of trying to sell it. There were other ads for Ventures and about half of them stated "carbs cleaned / rebuilt" Also the trunk lid was cracked where the prop mounts I assume this is common due to the way it locks rigid on opening but if you forget and push it down excessive pressure is put on that section of the lid. I've already made an aluminum plate to distribute the load over a larger area.
  5. Hi from Arizona. I just bought a 2011 XVZ13TFSAc and have a few questions. First what do you guys refer to this model as besides the designated one I posted. It has the trunk and plush passenger seat. I bought the bike (has 14k miles) as is / wont start because the carbs are so gummed up the throttle won't even turn. I've searched the forum for a how to post for carb removal, clean rebuild but have not yet had any luck. I do have a Clymer manual on the way. Any help pointing me to posts with tips that would help is appreciated. I've already learned a lot from what I've read hear especially the MR gasket fuel pump conversion. I plan on modifying one to have as a spare. The bike looked so good in that blue I had to have it even though it wouldn't run. Thanks
