Two different Yamaha shops have worked on my bike. Not 100% satisfied with either one of them. Overlooked worn brake pads from one dealer and other dealer forgot to tighten caliper bolts. Because of their efforts and thanks to this site no one but me has touched my bike since. The friendships and support from members here have greatly increased my knowledge and confidence.

I always choke my bike ringer it started. I too leave the bike on high idle while I put on my riding gear. I push the choke off and ride away. On a couple of occasions I have left the choke on for a short distance. I usually notice it at my first stop sign when it is still idling fast. Never had it stall because of my mistake.

Hello Everyone: I highly recommend our member vendors. I have purchased the following items from these fine members. Rick Butler (Seat mod) Carbon One ( Horn Bracket and relay) skydoc_17 (New Brake Pads) djh13 (Ignition By Pass) Zzyzx (ebay5262ed. Flashing Run Brake light. Top notch service and products. I look forward to doing business again with these vendors as well as other vendors and sponsors.

Just getting caught up on this thread. Lee and I are game for 1:00 Monday at the Yamaha Shop. Also available for the Monday evening meet at the Blue line.

Replacing the fuel filter as a preventive measure might be a good idea. Keep is posted.

Congrats!!!

Congrats!!!

Hello Everyone: Lee and I as well as RogerII and Lorie are staying at the covered Wagon Campground between Sturgis and Rapid all week. We always look forward to meeting other members. Finding others is difficult during Sturgis. The Yamaha store is a good idea. What has worked good for other VRO meets in the past was to meet for breakfast at the Sturgis Highschool located east of town. Lots of parking for a group. Group seating available and terrific food by the FFA chapter. We simply met there a few mornings at 9AM on certain set days and had a blast. I am up for either or both locations. Let's set it up!!

Thanks everyone. I passed the info along.

Congrats. Looks us up if you are ever in Western Nebraska.

Hello: A regional owner has a 1986 Suzuki Calvalcade 1400 CC. $57k miles. New tires. Runa but won't Idle. Asking $1500. A friend is interested in it. Just asking my buddies what you think. My friend thought about offering $1000.

I enjoyed our phone call. Hope you attend.

Thanks everyone for your comments. I value your opinions. I will pass them on to my friend. I learned the current owner purchased a new Victory. He also just installed a brand new battery on the 99. Looking like a good deal for someone.

Sorry to hear about your mishap. Good attitude on Sturgis. We will be there all week. Look forward to seeing you!

Hope you get better soon.

Inspiring stories. My wonderful wife made the same decision on her own a few years ago. Slowly went from size 22 to size 6. 215 lbs to 125 and has kept it off. Congrats Kat!!

Thanks for posting. At some point in time I may need to repack my Bubs. But for now I like the rumble!
