Just got back after 1800 miles. Tire came thru the trip great. Before going I double/triple/quadruple checked it and then glued a 1/2" circle of tire patch over the cut. Kept checking it along the way & no loss of pressure or bulging seen. Thanks for all the advice!...JR

Stupid question...but where can a guy find fuses for a 1st Gen VR? My headlight fuse 15A 1" fuse blew...I went to the local Yamaha dealer, Napa, & Checker and while the auto parts places had plenty of fuses, they were either too long or too short...nobody had the 1" fuses. Didn't think buying a fuse would be that big of a deal!?

Looking for advice on a small cut on my Dunlop Elite II D491 front sidewall. New set of tires last year, only about 2500 miles on them. Just noticed small cut on the sidewall. Doesn't look very deep at all, almost like it was just shaved back...I can see a white color underneath....but doesn't appear to be cut into that. Trying to decide if I should replace it before a 2000 mile trip. It really doesn't seem bad at all, but then again if I'm laying across the highway somewhere I'm gonna be wondering why I didn't just spend the $200 to get it replaced! Any advice or experience with this kind of cut?

Unfortunately, SW MotoTires doesn't have any D491 Elite IIs...they did suggest the D404 since it has the same tread pattern...is that a good idea? Or are there any other suggested sites?

Any recommendations where I can buy a front Dunlop Elite II online, from a place where they haven't been sitting around for years on the shelf? I put new Elite II's on last year & just getting ready for another trip & noticed a small cut in the sidewall...I don't "think" it's a big deal, but better safe than sorry... Thanks in advance for any suggestions...JR

Just got some Seafoam finally to dump in my '89 VR tank. Reading the label says it helps in the oil too. Just wanted to check & see if it really does & if I should drain the oil after having it in awhile. Sounds like this stuff is the clear deal!

Anyone know if there's a combination Sirius + MP3 unit that works on a bike & can be moved from bike to car without much problem?
