Glad you got it fixed, nothing worse than going out for a ride and not being sure if things will hold together for ya.

Good stuff all the way, bet this one will feel different than the 'old' one though.

Congrats Scott, and Miss Tippy. Now you really should be ashamed of yourself,,,,, not having any pictures!!!!

So first off, you have my condolences!!! Yep! you're thinking that now you'll have time to do some pleasure things, like riding, seadoing, skiing, swimming, going to the movies, camping................ well we'll see how that works out, keep us posted. But I think you're going to find out that you got more done when you were working. As far as the Bum is concerned, come over here first, then you'll be properly trained to do a perfect job for him.

I guess we had better attend, Ben comes to all our things, and he is bigger than me, but smaller than Big Tom.

Some of us aren't quite that old yet, but thanks for the warning.

And I've got to the point of adding one more: Don't ask to borrow them!!!!

Just practicing!

So what you are saying is that you like it here??? So do I, fact is I even come on when I'm on vacation from my holidays. Blessings to all of you!!

Agreed. And check the battery voltage, at the battery posts and then at the fuse box. Voltage should be in the 12.5 v range.

That piece of nylon is a spacer for the stuff on the shaft, the cable should not run on it although it might seem that way. Installing the cables is a literal PITA and even more so the way you have it routed, it can be done, but you'll find throttle response is horrible. Best is to go back-up and route the cable rightly.

Generally there is enough length to do just as you did without any adverse effect, and unless there is a pinching possibility I would just insert a normal vacuum line. You'll pay big bucks for a OEM formed line.

You Cheapskate!!!!!!,,, oh ya! You're Dutch!!

Looks to me to be just an ordinary piece of vacuum line, nothing special I wouldn't think.

SO why is it that on my truck the recommended plug change interval is 80,000 miles, but your bike with a brand new state of the art engine says 8,000 miles. What makes a MC so different? Even my Spyder recommends 28,000 miles.

Start from the beginning of this thread and I think you'll find most of the answers to your questions.

Well now when it breaks down you might have an idea as to where not to look. It looks to me like Yamaha decided to mix things up pretty good, it's a wonder they left the wheels at the lower end and the handle bars in front of the rider.

Be very careful here young man, you are dealing with 2 Dutchmen!!! and you should be aware of the definition of being Dutch: One who can buy from a Scotsman and sell it to a Jew and still make money.

Yep!! looks like they need some renewing. I would grab a stick magnet to see if I could maybe by chance find it in the cylinder. It would make me feel better. Not saying it is even in there anymore, but you just never know.

And oh!!! don't screw up the needle bearing, they are scarce as hen's teeth. Can't get them from a regular bearing supply.

That is the inner race to the needle bearing, it is a separate part number. Small diameter goes to the outside of the wheel

Maybe I could help you out a bit. Day 1, Sandwich Day 2, Sandfish Day 3, Sandy's drive in Day 4, A hill of beans Day 5, Fishwich Day 6, Sandflies Day 7, Leftovers from the above
