nice bike.

does the bike with LED's have any special adapter or flasher for the LED's vs regular filament bulbs? that might be a place to look.

I noticed that the origonal poster has an early Royal Star. There is no history for these bikes made from 1996-2000 (more or less). Do we have a member who could write an early Royal Star history and explain the differences between it and the later RSV and RSTDs?

there was an engineering change to the petcock in 2003 or 2004 because of this problem.

why am I hungry now?

super.

I guess no approved spark arrester on the exhaust

good luck to you.

I bought a new 1979 XS1100, blue. with side bags but wo fairing or windshield. Gone now, but it was one of my favorite bikes of all times. There are several VR members who have them

Dragonrider had one. Maybe he'll chime in

where's Mother? he's here somewhere isn't he?

I use electrical contact cleaner from Radioshack. works well for key switches.

can't go very far with that cord tying you to the post can you?

I've never had one fly away like that. Did have a pick tip break off and fly away into the the radiator while working on one.

Red wine has long been hailed for its potential health benefits, from slowing aging to inhibiting cancer, due to a plant compound called resveratrol. Scientists even think resveratrol may have the potential to fight fat. “Resveratrol should be a very effective anti-obesity agent. It causes your mitochondria, your cells’ fat burners, to burn faster,” said Clifton Baile, head of UGA's Obesity Initiative. But battling fat with resveratrol would likely take thousands of glasses of wine per day.

Looking real good Gary.

My Suzuki DR200 is a just-about-perfect bike for that kind of rider. They show up on Craig's List and ebay frequently in your price range with under 10,000 miles. Its a good reliable machine.

In one of the previous threads there is a post which gives a commercial key equivalent of the Yamaha key. I just dug mine out. its an Ilco X248 YM63.

should this be moved to the jokes section or the memorial?

My local Ace HW was unable to cut a key that worked for me. ymmv

Congrats to you two.

I think you needed to rebuild the garage bigger after the (ahem) accident.
