Gonna miss you bud, praying that all goes well for ya.

It's not a first gen, so may take while, but with the best tool right handy, it shouldn't be too long.

Oh no,, this must mean that I'm going to have one as well,,,, what's with you guys,,, give it up already. Happy Birthday to both of you,,,, I'll put mine off yet for a little while.

Famous last words,,,,,

If I'm not mistaken there will be a couple of guys there from Ontario who could tow it for you, might even break it in gently for you as well,,,,, and,,,,,, once in Ontario,,,,,, something like what happens in the garage,,,,,,,

I can understand your dilemma, seems quite daunting at first, once you've had it apart though it becomes a lot easier. It's always nice to have somebody else come to help you, that way you get to make more friends, drink a bit of adult beverage and learn a thing or two, but if that's not happening, don't fret, we can help you through each step of the way. We have all been in your position at one time or another and can understand what you think you're up against. So ask the questions, answers will be forth coming. To start with, I suggest you get yourself some sort of ABS repair kit, for as you get into this scoot, there will be places that need a bit of help and\or encouragement. That being out of the way, remove the 'tank' cover, seat, side panels and the lower faring legs for starters. Then remove the side covers on the carbs to check the diaphragms, they will most likely need to be replaced. Don't worry too much about how it comes apart and goes back together, that's quite simple actually, seeing as 1)somebody else has already designed it, 2)some person who doesn't know nothin about nothin, put it together 3)and we all have attempted to put things back together backwards and found that it didn't work so well and then had to figure out how it was really supposed to go back together. So somebody on this site may even remember how it was done properly and be able to help,,,, now that leaves a problem as to whether he can type,,, but that's another problem.

Will pray for Paul, thanks for posting.

You got it all rong,,,, you all got tit rong,,,,, the bacon comes integrated with the beef, part and parcel, so it gets cooked at the same time and comes out super delicious.

Now if you were to eat one of our BACON BURGERS, you would forget all about hot dogs,,,, BEEF & BACON,,,, now that's a meal!

Guess maybe you'll have forget about the ice-cream for a while, or loose weight getting it yourself,,course I could come over to give you a hand.

Not sure how it works on a second gen, but on the first gen there is a reason for the hard bend. It's because the fuel line goes under the tank and over top of the swing arm. Now the bottom of the tank has a seam right at the swing arm and when those two come together then anything in between tends to get crushed or cut,,, such as the fuel line, hence Yamaha has attached a protector to that part of the tank seam so that it might crush the line but not cut it. An unformed line would lie in a different location and then get cut, which does very little for keeping fuel on the inside where it belongs.

I hope you got one of those Streble horns for a spare so that she can wake you up to get the work done, and away from the freezer. Best to both of you, hope things go well now, at least it's not snowing today,,,,,,,,, yet.

I would suggest the rear wheel splines as well. Make sure you use the right grease for this application, most greases will whip off of there in 50 to 100 miles.

Has possibilities.

You could start with cleaning the joints under the trunk, take them apart, spry them well with contact cleaner and then slide them back together, don't use dielectric grease, and see how that works. If not, soldering might be the answer.

That's what I would did and would do again.

Good to hear James,,,carry on and enjoy.

Things that come to mind: - loose connection on bulb, you would see burn marks on the leg(s) - Bad ground on bulb wire - Cheap bulb,,, I'm with you, not cheap to test it out - Check voltage at 3000 rpm, max s\b about 14.5 volts Solution? Put in a reg bulb for a while and see what happens.

Did your mother never tell you to PICK UP your feet? I know, it's easier said than done.

Your symptoms indicate a coolant leak. Best get it checked by a refrigeration tech and have the leak fixed, if possible, and then new coolant added.

Could be that you have the power going to the lights and are switching the ground wire, that way there is always power at the lights but it won't flow until you close the circuit with the switch.

On the first gens there is a washer in the clutch setup, that if you get it in the wrong place, things will not work. I know the second gen is similar but not sure if it's exactly the same. The first thing I would check though, as mentioned, make sure your kick stand is up.
