    Because it tooooooo cool to ride all day with no sleeves, and an open shirt so others can be impressed with the macho. Best put though,,, is,,, image. And all the other reasons so far. That's why they don't wave either,,,,,,, we're not on the same level. All that said, I still wave, and I still go to talk to them at the coffee stop. Their demeanor shouldn't change mine,,,,,, aaaaaaand I like to stir the pot. AAAAAAnd if I see one on a trailer at a stop,,, I go ask them some questions,,,,,,,,,,,

    Couple of things here. When I did my clutch there was a washer that I thought should go where I thought it should be, but eneded up going where Yamaha had designed it to go,,, and if I remember correctly it ended up going on before the basket. Yep I could shift all right, not very good, but it would shift, but it would not stop. Also, the clutch bolts are not very tight, use only 8 INCH pounds, not foot pounds, on these,, hardley seems to be tight, but it works.

    Just for interest, you should not split the caliper in half. The pistons can be removed without splitting them. Use air to do this. Putting anything in between the halves when you reassemble them would possibly give a chance for some of what ever you put in there to end up in the system,,, something you really don't want. If I knew that someone had done this to my bike, I would tear it all apart, thoroughly clean it and then put it back together without any goop at all. Brake fluid isn't compatible with much of anything.

    Good to hear you made it safely, could have been a lot different. Use a Dremel tool to cut the race, takes a little while but it's quicker and easier. Bearings can be bought a lot quicker and cheaper at a local bearing store.

    Are the little rubber o-rings in place under the tit on the cover of the diaphrams?

    The connector cable (DIN) from the CB to the amp, was also my next suggestion. Take the CB out and make sure that that the cable is seated properly. While you're that far, just check the continuity on that cable including the shield, to make sure you don't have a broken wire in it, not likely,, but you never know.

    Sorry to hear this, but glad you could share you sorrow. Our sympathies for all of you and may you be able to find the peace that only The Father can give.

    Well, need I ask??????? Mute button,,, don't ask me why I say this. Check your attenna lead. Make sure it's put together right at the bracket. The center wire, attenna, should not touch ground, but the ground should be good. You won't get any sound from the CB unless someone is talking to you on the same channel or you turn the squelch right down. Check your headphone button. Carl

    Now that's the plan for the shop that's behind the house,,,, think it will work????

    To get the race off I used a Dremel tool to cut the race,,, maybe a bit of a danger of slightly cutting through the race, but no danger of melting the aluminum or over heating anything else. It also saved a lot of time by the look of things. The final bit of cutting was done with a cold chisel and a freindly!!! pursuader.

    And you would know this,, WHY????/

    Oh boy, what a bummer,, tough times for sure and it isn't getting any better for you right now. But you have good skills and a grand personality, and a wife that's working, right??? So you have some good things going for you, but not all those pay the bills. As it is, I'll be moving sometime in November I hope, and plan to have lots of help to do this,,,, might need someone to motivate these folks properly,,,, maybe you could practise a little to keep your skills fine tuned.

    I picked up a new fuse panel at CarQuest. It's just a matter of interchanding the clips. You do need to solder the wires on, but the clips fit in the present holder. I'll see if I can find a part # for you. Couldn't find a part number, but I got some picture instead. The holder on the left is what I use. It is pop riveted on so you'll need to drill it off. Hope this helps.

    Looking real good,,,, but what's with all the sunshine????????? Who asked for that???
  22. Marcarl
    That was good,,, too bad if you were rudely awakened.

    This is a safety issue more so that an oil issue. Once you have run your bike, there will always be oil on the moving parts, although as it warms it lubs better. The issue then is from a safety stand point. Different scoots have different needs, but your scoot should respond well to the throttle before you take off. If you leave the choke out while riding you just might discover at your first stop that things are not slowing and responding as expected and cause you a little head ache or worse, body ache. If your throttle response is not good you might find that your scoot will hiccup just when you go to turn out of your parking place, that would be enough to 'knock' it over and pin something under it. So in my opinion, it needs to be warm enough so not to stall when the choke is pulled off and it responds smoothly to the throttle.

    We'll keep on praying for you, my friend. Life is promised to be a bed of roses, but He promises to be there all the way through, and to give strength and endurance so that in the end we may all enjoy perfection.
