Yah!! We are NOT a clic! Everybody is welcome!! heck,they let ME attend!!

Where else could you find such a fine bunch of people than here???

Hmmmm, wonder if Earl sent you 1st gen parts by mistake to make it feel quicker...

Yup!! Thumbs up to Crazy Horse, enjoyed it more than Mt. Rushmore!! Try to catch the light show in the evening...

WOW!! Best of luck there Dennis, hope you get your trike back, in one piece, and properly working!! Have you, or anyone else, contacted Hannigan about this?? I'm sure he would be dropped like a hot potato as an authorized dealer...

Looks great!! Well worth getting it 100%!! PS somebody stole your aftermarket backrest, they are well worth having...

Welcome aboard!!

Yeah, but that book was by Ralph Nader about the early Corvairs. IMHO Ralph didn't know how to drive anyway...

Get your air suspension fixed and get around 7 - 10 psi in front and around 60 psi in the back, the bike will be taller!!

OK who from Michigan is missing their trailer??

Hmmmm, does Mickey D's still have a dollar menu?? How did you win, not buy a ticket?? That's how I win EVERY week!!

OK first question, did you use Yamaha fork seals??? The aftermarket ones are known to not seal properly sometimes. You may have a plugged vent hose on the compressor assembly causing the air to not completely bleed off, or the solenoid might be clogged up, etc etc. The rear shock should be inflated to somewhere around 40 to 60 psi depending on personal handling tastes... Front is 17psi max.

Check out our Read Only Tech section, there you will find complete wiring diagrams, both factory and a "simplified" version done by one of our members. There is also a thread there where you can download the factory service manual, etc. Yes, as Jeff said, I would start with getting spark on all 4 cylinders! There are several things to look at! As Jeff said, look at and disassemble the spark plug caps! Then unscrew the ends that go into the coils and look for green inside the coil, they get corroded in there quite often. Cut about 1/4 inch off the end of the plug wire before reinstalling and push the rubber o ring on the plug wire up away from the end a little. Those O rings keep the wire from vibrating loose from the coil. The TCI unit may also be defective, they are known to have problems. As far as cam timing and whether or not the cam is in backwards, consult the official Yamaha service manual for this information, or, there is a great video out that you can purchase from Damon Ferraiulo concerning complete engine rebuild... http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?84030-DVD-of-1st-gen-motor-amp-carb-rebuild-process-purchase-info His videos are extremely informative!! They are for the VMax motor but it is the exact motor except on the heads the valves are bigger and the cams are hotter. The assembly, to include setting up the cam timing, and which way they go in will be on that video. Good luck and we hope we can be of assistance to you, just ask, eventually you will get an answer, and usually it is the right answer!!

It's Monday, I DON'T watch "Dancing In The Bars" so I might be in for a while until 10:00...

Afraid so, Gez! I don't think it's just isolated to AAA though...

I was going to say the same thing, and I know, I have both!!!

Gee, you may as well retire here in Buffalo then!! Rain and high of 48 for today...

Hoo Boy, did you ever open a can of worms second only to what brand of oil to use!! I'll start with Dunlop E-3's, wear like iron...

Yup! On our calendar! Looking forward to it!!

It's a great life!!!

Hey!! A 2 seater for Becky!!
