I'm confused as to how you are confused about Dan being confusing along with Scott being confusing further being confusing by Woody who is warning not to be confused over how confusing both can be, being very confusing by nature, which is confusing to us all...

For the turn signals, you have to use load resistors on the bulbs so that the circuit draws enough current to make the flasher relay work. The load resistors are applied from the hot wire of the turn signal bulb to ground... You can install a different flasher that will work with LEDs, but you will lose your automatic canceling feature.

Yeah! And that channel knob was stiff too!! And, we only got 3 channels...

Yup! When I was a kid we walked to school and back every day 10 miles in -20-degree weather, uphill! Both ways!!!

Yup, seen it on Facebook, interesting design! It's like it has artificial intelligence or something. The commercial shows the bike following the operator around like a puppy dog, and when it went through the door it looked both ways before going through...

1 to 4 inches??? Oh, the humanity!!! ***sob***

Besides prayers from us, I will get our Church praying for you Scott!!

My wife's father lived in Brooksville when he was alive, nice quiet area...

Verrrry interesting!! I have aftermarket boards on my '84 but still the stock shifter. I will look into this a little closer maybe...

Yet another good reason to be retired!!!

Hmmmm, kinda busy with the WNY Rally that month...

Yup...

So far, so good...

Hey Dan, what do you call a brunette that dyes her hair blonde??? Answer: Artificial Intelligence...

Yup!! What Chuck said!! There are these round rubber plug things that are under the false fin cylinder covers that are known to leak and cause issues like that!! A simple fix is to remove the fake fins and tape a dime (sorry, you Canucks got rid of pennies, they are cheaper) and reinstall the covers. The thickness of the coins presses the plugs in tightly stopping their leaking...

Good job!! I take it your '83 is a blonde...

OK that is a good price on the Odessey, but there are 2 versions of the 680, and the preferred one is the 680M which has a metal jacket around the outside primarily for thermal reasons. Yes, those terminals work out just fine! As Condor pointed out they don't fit perfectly in the battery holder, they are a little thinner but finding a sheet of foam or a piece of plywood all is good. The Deka is an OEM for several other brands such as the ones Auto Zone and O'Reilys sell! Not sure what model number you need for a 1st gen...

Yes, there was a thread about this just a few weeks or so ago. Myself I just kept typing to the end and then put the spaces in afterwards. Minor butt pain...

Thanks, Abdul, I'll take it!! We won't be at Saddlebum's M&E but if Father Time does another March one we will probably be at that one. I will pay you in person!

If you want to spend big bucks you can... http://roadstercycle.com/yamaha_vmax_fuel_injector_cv_car.htm

No, it is not an issue of them bouncing around, if anything they are a little sluggish and read low. Etcswjoe did my carbs with his "sticks" at MD...

Myself I have the gauges but for my tastes, they are not sensitive enough IMHO for super close balancing...

My offer still stands...

As far as the iridium plugs go, yes they are more expensive, but they last a lot longer which justifies the price! Feeling a little penny wise, dollar foolish are we???

Ahhh, OK, thought maybe you were looking at your dashboard voltmeter. As long as the probes are on the battery terminals and not the connectors then probably your battery is junk then. Lead acid batteries can develop issues with the plates intermittently shorting out. Spend the extra money on a good AGM battery. They will run you around $100 but when properly maintained (do not use a float charger on them) they will give you more energy and last a long time. There is also a battery out there made by Odessey that seems to last forever, but 10 years ago they were around $110, but now days they want around $250 for them. I have one that I bought in 2006 that is still good!!
