    Don't forget to put your seat belt on for that first test ride, we dont want you throwing yourself through the windshield first time you hit the brakes.

    As often as I'll need this tool I'll just get the loaner from Autozone. Now to pile things on, I just got a notification from fedex my flanders g2 bars, lines & cables are being delivered tomorrow now I'll have both bikes in pieces. The flanders, lines & cables are going on mama's trike.

    I get Netflix through our WII gaming system, it's $8 a month. We connect thru our cable internet connection and it streams flawlessly. There is a lot of old content on there, but still plenty to keep you entertained. If you want the new stuff you have to step up to the next subscription level. My son has that so we get the disk when he's done with it. If you want to know more pm me,can't talk about the rest here.

    I got a pair of the 6004's from the shop that mounted my tire, the 6004 OD is too small ! I ordered the all balls bearing and seal kit $24 and change.

    You have to wait on us because we're still running and fetchin parts for those antique 1st gens that keep breaking. How many do you own to keep one running?

    Thanks Joe, I'm gonna try and find a friend with a blind hole bearing puller. There is no way to drive them out without messing something up *#@(! Yamaha ! why they do this stupid engineering?

    All Balls makes a front bearing kit with seals that sells for about $25.00 That's half of what yamaha gets for the oem parts ordered individually. The part number for the kit is 12-5545

    That's not smoke, it's a con trail

    Thanks, I have the Yamaha P/N for bearings & seals, Just thought i may get a better bearing and seal going aftermarket. Only got 55K out of this set.

    if you can't fix it with a hammer, you've got an electrical problem.

    How much did you take off the bolt head ? With all you've been through already with this 1 off brake conversion, does this latest hiccup surprise you !?
  15. ragtop69gs
    No offence, but I Think I'll wait on a 2nd Gen owner, don't want to get the wrong parts.

    Well... if any of you want to get rid of a backrest, I have a spot picked out on the wifes trike for it. Just let me know and we'll come to some sort of an agreement.

    Putting a new 150/80-16 Venom on the front and I feel a tight spot on both wheel bearings. I am going to replace them. I have 2 questions. A search here did not help me much. (1) How do you get the bearings out ? With the inner spacer I see no way to use a standard bearing puller or a drift punch to knock em out, no lip to drive them out. (2) Sourcing the bearing and seal? Yamaha part or from a bearing supply ? Aftermarket part numbers?

    Tomorrow Depends on what is waiting for me on the Left coast

    It is now contaminated with heavy metals and considered hazardous waste ! Take it to a recycling center. OR If you have a neighbor you hate, pour it in his yard and call the EPA from a pay phone !

    You'd never hear me do any of those things.
  23. ragtop69gs
    OUCH that's one expensive line! Can't ya shorten the bolt instead of beating up your bike?
