    OK, a quick up date on the oil adapter. After crunching the numbers the savings wouldn't have been much better than buying an adapter right off Ebay. The Ebay price is $69.95 + $9.00 shipping. The best I could do with 10 being shipped to me and distributed out of here was $73.50 total. You'd save $6.50. Really not worth it. Sorry to get a few folks stirred up, but we tried...... Here's a copy of the email I received: Jack Thanks anyway, being hand made it's not practical to bring the price down any more. Ebay is ok, and there is built in buyer protection (not that we need it) but many may feel more comfortable that way. Of course they can still save 6 bucks buying direct. bob hagerman And I suppose if you contacted Bob by email at huntech2006@yahoo.ca you could save a few bucks. I'm still working on the brace buy

    When syncing the carbs you're supposed to set the idle screw when engine is up to operating temp. I'd think about a carb sync.

    My '83 was doing the same thing. Pulled the radio panel and cleaned the connector pulgs. Male and female, and was very careful when putting the panel back in. The problem seems to have gone away.

    Anyone interested in a spin on oil filter adapter for their 1stGen, hang loose for a bit. I'm working on a group buy with an adapter manufacture. We're just now ironing out the pricing details. More coming shortly..... PS: I'm also swapping emails with a supplier of fork braces.... PPS: Once the Odyssey group buy is put to bed for this year, I'll be starting a MAC Muffler group.....

    We only get earth quakes.... and haven't had a major one of those for quite a while. You can keep those twisters.....

    Per GeorgeS' recomendation I went out and tried to find CRC 2-26, but couldn't. What I did end up with is CRC's QD Electronic Cleaner. Works good. The QD is for quick dry... Probably the same stuff???

    Don't think so Wayne. Attached are a couple of 83,87, and 91 pics. Looks like the markII has two bolts, while the markI has a bolt and tab. Different trunk rack also....

    My son located the choke rod, but now he needs the plastic cap that fits on the rod so the fork linkage can work. Anyone out there have that plastic cup floating around??? They aren't available from Yamaha any longer...

    Those things are always cracking and falling off. I'd check with Yamaha to see it they still offer the boot. Another thought would be to mask off the gimble and spray it with Plasti-Dip rubberized spray to seal out crud....

    Sounds like it's going to be one of those 'change lightbulb.....rewire house' summers...

    Just a thought. Could it be a timing problem, and the reason the starter relay heats up is that the engine is bogging down so much it's pulling a ton of amps to get it to spin??? Years ago when rebuilding motors you could get the distributor in 180deg out because they hadn't designed offset dogs on the bottom of the shaft. Dang engine would barely turn over.... Just a thought.....

    Sounds like you may have keyed the mike without a good antenna connection and blown the transmit finals???

    Tell your dad that we get them directly from the distributor. By buying in quantity they extend us dealer pricing. They are not seconds, but the most currently dated batteries on the market. Not something that's been sitting on a dealers shelf for 6 months or more. I might also add that if he's that skeptical, perhaps it might be better if he just went ahead and purchased a battery from his regular local source.

    Glad to hear you brought her down safely Brian......

    Looks like you've even come up with a better way Rick. Since it was our first time on a 2ndGen, it was trial and error. We don't have that problem on a 1stGen....

    He sells items that even have higher shipping, and even though a lot are out of state it still adds up to a bunch for instate sales.

    That would still be a PITA......

    I bid on a charger for my cell phone on Ebay... lost the other one and I'm to lazy to go into hunt mode.... So the seller has the thing listed for .99¢ with a $5.95 shipping charge, and.... he's in California. I'm high bid when it closes at .99¢...was there ever any doubt... , and the guy uses some sort of 'non-paypal' payment system for credit card sales, and I go to it, and do the dance. One problem. The system is charging me sales tax on the shipping. That's a no-no in Cal. So I write the seller several messages, using the Ebay system, requesting a revised invoice showing the corrected total with tax on just the .99¢ Never hear a word back from the guy. I try calling him at the phone number I get from Ebay. No answer. So I say screw it and don't pay. About 3 weeks later I get a notice from Ebay saying that the .... at this time.... 'Jerk' has filed a non-pay complaint against me. I respond and file a dispute. A couple of weeks later I get a chastizing notice from Ebay saying I've got a 'strike' against me. I wrote them back and basically say if they support a seller that is doing something illegal, then I have no other alternative but to think Ebay condones illegal activities. About two hours later I get a response that they have deleted the 'strike'. Some of you may say .60¢, what the heck, but it was more than the pricipal. The seller has done over 52,000 Ebay transactions. At .60+ extra per in state transaction, he's pocketing just a few bucks..... BTW I know where he lives and I'm sending Guido to talk to him.....

    I've got the same problem with my '83. Sounds like so much garbage at highway speeds. When you find a good set of helmet speakers that don't cost an arm and a leg let me know.
