Anyway, I'm not itchin' to mount another radiator or whatever just yet, just thinkin'. I think I'm gonna replace the t-stat for good measure,

If you do change the thermostat with the NAPA one make sure you ask for the heavy duty one. They make a standard and a heavy duty in that number. If you hold the standard up to the heavy duty one you can see the difference between the two. I had to drill my own steam hole {For want of a name for it} in the NAPA one before installing it. I rigged up a toggle switch to turn the fan on myself if I ever think the motor is getting to hot. If nothing else it's a peace of mind kind of thing.

Hey! Who are you and what did you do with snarlybill?!?!
Kinda scarey isn't it?

how about we all wear pink chaps
This thread has some strange suggestions but I had to do a double take on this one!
:rotfl: Hoping you were being sarcastic, if not, you first.:rotfl: -
I too thank all of you for the kind words even though I've been active for a while now.
If there is anything I can do to help one of you just email or call me.
Sounds like your running for head hooker. Look out other mods.

How come your kids are taller than you are? Theres got to be some kind of physiological answer! Better water? Food too far away? Air cleaner higher up? BHT? Whatever it is it's working! You have him ordering his own scoot yet since now he has gotten a taste of bike riding?

Does the no politics rule still apply when the new moderators are watching the asylum?
If so they will fit right in. Congrats { I Think} on the new job. -
Glad you figured out what was the problem. I too just bought new boots and had a hard time coming to a stop the other day on my VR. They are pretty aggressive on the bottom which makes for harder {Gotta lift not drag foot off footpegs} manipulation. Amazing how something so simple can ruin your day. On the other note about what we all ride I have to say anything with extremely high {Monkey bars} handlebars just doesn't make sense to me. But each to his own.

If it is a pond monster I'd hate to get near them. Did you see the size of the mouths on them things!!!!!!!!

Very good news!
One day at a time. Prayers still being sent. -
1679 cc's not quite as big as the wings engine. Guess you could call it a 1700. Now detune it alittle and put that sucker in a Venture!

Not me. Life still sucks to much work. 83=68,000 86=40,000 guesstimate's, give or take a few thousand, to tired to go look.

I KNOW, I KNOW lets have a contest to see if we can talk about having a contest for days and days! If no one doesn't talk about having a contest then they are out of the contest! But anyway lets have a contest to have a contest! YEAH!!! THATS IT!!!!
:rotfl::sign isnt that spec -
The wiring diagram shows a relay for the fuel pump. Blue/something wire runs to it. Picture is not to clear to read all of color code for wires. Never had a fuel pump problem myself so can't answer how long pump will run on "out" side. Someone should chime in with the answer eventually.

:rotfl:When asked by a reporter if he had any lecture series by a Democrat, he replied that a democratic lecture series might explain why a lot of the inmates were in his jails in the first place.
Go Joe!

Philistine!
:rotfl: Easy on the Democrat jokes. Might wake up the Mods. What with our economy in the crapper the repubs jokes can all so fly. -
I worked on a 920 Yamahas pilot jet once. I tell you the hole in them were almost non-existent! Had to use a piece of wire so small to clean it out that I thought that it wasn't drilled out at first.
There are technical bulletins on cleaning the tank and carbs on the Yamaha site. Must have been a on going problem with this model. Mccarl is right about the butterfly seals. They say to not subject them to carb cleaner for fear of damage. Plus 25yrs old bike. -
Whoever is the first one to go to Iceland to ride his bike is the winner
So Freebird - get this on the road so people can flock to Iceland on their Royal Stars.
Is there a bridge?

Ok, were are the rules for the contest?
-
Whatever the market will bear. Thats the old saying. It is applying to gas prices!
-
Sounds to me like your choke is plugged up. When you say free wind on its own do you mean gain rpm without turning throttle?
Were the carbs boiled out? -
Whatever works for you on the battery as long as your tender cycles on and off and doesn't boil out the battery. As far as plugs go I use regular NGKs. New plugs are the best thing for my 83 when it gets sluggish on starting.

Amazing he had time to remove his helmet,googles and one shoe!
