Something that came up this weekend. There has been discussion on riding distance, accommodations and such. Now I may have missed it, but very little has been said about the daily temp in AL. I for one would not have a good time if it was hot every day. So to start this discussion, seeing as the temp runs around 90 to 95 degrees during the daytime, I would not be attending. Now that's not saying that nobody should attend, or that we should move to a different location,,,,, but,,,,,,it's a good thing to discuss all the in's and out's but if we decide not attend, then all our input is kind of redundant. So what's your thoughts,, will you attend if the IR is in AL and the temp will be 90 or better? Brake Pad has done a lot of preliminary work on this already, but maybe it's a good time to see some numbers. Should we do a poll on this?

YICS= Yamaha Injection Control System. Seems like there is a sync problem. My guess is that's it's a way out on one carb. Time to set them all back to fully closed and start again. I won't argue with the cable hang-up idea. Best way to check that is to run the carbs manually, so remove the left side cover and using a flat screw driver move the half moon control that the cable hooks up to. You can increase the RPMs and when you let go of it the engine should return to idle. You can watch the mechanics by doing this and so make a determination.

Sorry, back up,,,see you at Casablanca.

Your call now Evan.

Check all 4 carbs to make sure they are seated properly. There is only 1 vacuum line that has any business being there. That's the one on the front left carb, and has a restrictor in it. Just undo the Jason mod, you don't really need that YICS anyways, just pull the lines and plug the ports, you can always put things back later if you wish. Did the sync go well or was it left with,,,, that's the best I can do!

OK so we'll meet at Casablanca on or before 8:30, leave there no later than 9. That gives us two hours,,,,,, 1 hr riding, 1\2 hr border, 1\2 hr to go P.

Yep, got that one!,, but but it's frayed, so only good for an emergency.

Did it scream or screech before it died? You may have lost the inner cable if the bottom end came loose. I have a spare if you needs it.

LP is short for Lincoln Park, and that is a retirement home on Bartlett Ave in Grimsby,, the last Grimsby exit on the QEW, so past the Christy street exit. Exit Bartlett ave, turn left, south on Bartlett, and you'll find Lincoln Park on the right just before the intersection with #8 hiway. Evan's father and mother live there, so I guess we'll get to meet them. So the plan now is: Meet at Lincoln Park at around 8:15 for coffee and then carry on directly to Lockport. Want to join us, that will be just fine, if not, that will just fine as well.

Cables go from the handle bar to the cruise control on the left side. That's the end of the first two cables. They hook into a pulley type thing affair. From there there are 2 shorter cables that go to the carbs, so 4 cables in all and they are all different.

Jason mod was done with the YICS hoses,,,, what happened here I have no idea, and why somebody would do such a thing would make no sense to me either. I would just undo those hoses and put caps in place, you might find that will help out with your issue big time. Keep in mind that there is a vacuum hose coming from the left front cylinder going to the TCI. It will be needed as well as a restrictor in that line.

Sorry Scott, upon further investigation the ones I have are not right,, somewhat like their present owner I suppose. I have 4 or 5 of those things, but none have the required bendie thing at the end. There are 4 cables in the system, 2 longer ones that go from the handle bar to the cruise control and then 2 shorter ones that go the carbs.

Easy gentlemen, or we'll loose the whole thread, you may want to consider doing some editing before somebody else does.

Know any farmers???? Actually, try the AirHawk pillow.

So what time then @LP

I think I have one, just need to be sure. Got a picture?

Live with the drip.

If we want to catch the ride at the start, 7 would be good. We can also go directly to Lockport, only about 1 hour from Casablanca. Tour starts at 11, so if we leave Casablanca by 9:30 we should be alright. I suggest we leave Casablanca by 8:30, 1 hours ride, plus 1\2 at the border would put us in Lockport around 10. Then we can add a bit of time for u-turns, BS and a coffee before the rest of the bandits get there for the 11am tour. We'll also get prime parking.

It will be rusted to the shock most likely, needs to be tapped out. The reason you leave the nut attached is to not bugger up the threads. Heat won't help, seeing as the bolt goes through the inner bushing and that is wrapped with rubber.

You'll again need to remove the slave,,, well now that was a statement you didn't expect I bet,,, yep, remove the slave and then remove the push rod. NOW, in behind the push rod is a ball bearing, it may come out and may not, but there is one there, so watch for it, without it you will be clutchless. Now is a good time to have a long handled needle nose pliers and a new seal. The old seal will come out, so you can drill a small hole in the metal part, one on either side of the seal and then insert a screw into the hole. You now have something to grab onto to work the seal out with those long handled needle nose pliers. Once it's out insert the new seal using a proper sized socket and an extension. Take your time, enjoy the work, put the push rod back in with the dimpled end going in first and then reinstall the rest of the components.

This can be a toughie. It rusts together, hence it been advised to put grease fittings on these joints,, which you are attempting to do. To remove: The front mount, the one in front of the shock must be attached and tight. It also helps to have the bolts and bearings attaching the swing arm to the wish bone in place and tight. Put the nut back on the shaft in question, but not fully tight. Now with the help of a drift you can work that baby loose,,, gonna take a little time and patience, but it will come out. Once it starts to move you can back the nut off to get more movement. Careful not to damage the threads, this bolt is no longer available from Yammi, so if it's damaged or worn, you'll have to get somebody to make you a new one. These bolts are shoulder specific, so one off the shelve will be hard to find.

So we are all different eh. Ya, ain't that the truth, so are you and so am I. Trouble is, often times we want everybody to be just like me, handle their problems my way, spend their money how I would suggest, drive the way I drive, think the way I think. I know now, it just ain't that way, we are all different and so do things differently, sometimes not even right, but then we all make mistakes, say the wrong things,,,,,,,,, I'm learning to live with all those issues, not always easy, but I don't have any stints yet either. Got to remember that we are all made in the image of the Creator, and somehow each of us reflects that image, some better than others for sure, but reflect we do. Guess what matters most is how I reflect that image, and let Him handle the rest. That's it! My thoughts as they came to mind. Ride careful, and enjoy His creation.

Don't know where it is, but I know where it isn't,,, does that help?

Gentlemen and Ladies. For now I will close this thread, it doesn't seem to be doing what I think was intended, it has no real plot if you will, and I wonder if there is any benefit for anybody to carry on any discussion, actually the opposite may happen as it seems. Hope you all understand. Carl The Mods are discussing this at length.

Just so you know, the 1st ride leaves at 9am to the caves. Second ride leaves @ 11am to Elicotville for sight seeing. So if we want to join the first ride we need to leave Casablanca by 7 am. just so you know.
