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.

Congrats you two,,, wondered how long this would take, And Again. When the Meet & Greet & all the hugs?

Just keep in mind that 75% of the tires life in in the first 25% of tire wear. That's why we so often hear, I just looked at it recently and there was lots of tread left, and now it's bald.

Don't have a noise that I can hear, but then I put the original washer back in,, maybe that helps???

It's a sign of things to come, so in the meantime, CONGRATS to Taters and there's hope for you Tom.

Looks good so far, but we need to see more,,,,,, hope you enjoys it.

What can I say,,, we are VentureRiders!!!!!

Careful Steve, with posts like that you could end up with more friends,, and that means more ice-cream!

Wow, that was a long story, and it's not finished yet. Glad I was able to read it, and although it took two posts to get it in, I was ready for part 3. So Ray, let us know as part 3 develops, God does not quit working after 2 parts.
