Is that not a tad like the suicide bomber instructor .....Who insists the students pay close attention and better get it the 1st time, because he is only going to demonstrate once.

I would start by checking and cleaning all the connectors and wiring going to the stater, regulator and ignition module. I almost replaced my module because of no spark but when I pulled it apart I found all the terminals had turned green. I decided to clean all the connectors and terminals and the bike ran like a dream. That was 4 years or so ago and the bike has ran great ever since. If that does not solve your issue then you will have to do a more in depth diagnoses.

Sometimes if you have the bearing numbers or the seal dimensions you can match up the seal or you can use the shaft and bore dimensions to look up a seal. https://www.skf.com/binaries/pub12/Images/0901d196807662c1-810-701_CRSeals_Handbook_Jan_2019_tcm_12-318140.pdf https://www.skfextranet.com/crsealsfinder/ https://www.timken.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/Timken-Small-Bore-Metric-Seals-Catalog_10951.pdf https://www.timken.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/National-Indust-Seals-Catalog_7707.pdf another option is to look up the seal number in the parts book https://www.yamahasportsplaza.com/oemparts/a/yam/5004246bf8700209bc787e03/drive-shaft and then do a google interchange search EG: 93102-70167-00 oil seal interchange

With all the claims of all the things WD-40 is supposed to be able to do I am surprised nobody has suggested it as a cure for Covid-19 One thing it can't do and you all free to disagree.........Is replace or 🍺

Yes it is and so easy for us to forget as we get too comfortable.

When you put the clutch back together did you check to make sure the little ball #22 at the end of the push rod was still in place in case it fell out? Did you put the disc's back in in their proper positions ? the first disc to go in #7 in the diagram only has a partial friction face and is combined with a spacer, if you mixed this one up with one of the other disc's the overall pack becomes too thick and you have no release clearance. when this disc. is replaced with a full disc like some of us have done those spacer shims #5&6 and the wire retainer #4 are left out for this very reason. https://www.yamahasportsplaza.com/oemparts/a/yam/50042469f8700209bc787dfa/clutch

Its very simple really, M10x1.25 means its a 10mm diameter bolt and the 1.25 is the millimeters between two threads from peak to peak. There for a bolt M10x1.0 is a finer thread than M10x1.25 or M10x1.5 which is even a courser Thread. where as SAE indicates the number of threads per inch. So in metric the lower the second number the finer the were with SAE bolts the higher the number the finer the thread. The nice thing about metric bolts you can actually use a pair of calipers to measure the diameter and length of the bolt as well as the distance between two threads to tell you exactly what bolt you need.

UPDATE: So it has been verified that both are suffering from covid-19. But on a slightly better note, there appears to be some slight improvement in both of them. as of today they are going to try to get my brother in law up walking a little. In the case of my sister in law, she is still on a ventilator but her numbers (whatever that means) are improving, so Please keep the prayers and well wishes coming. Thank you all.

sounds like @Flyinfoolgot a tad over zealous after being laid up so long and up and drastically overshot his usual targets and volumes. and a course I's done wents ta a leavin dat dern back door open a tad longer than usual cause I tawt he'd be too's a busy a convalescing to tink abouts dat dern little toy a is

Thank you all for your prayers and support. It is more appreciated than you can imagine.

I agree I have tried it out of curiosity since it seems to be a popular method and did not like the results. I find cable interference. and variants of the live weight of the front end can impact the final result. If specs can't be found I set them up the same way as I would tapered wheel bearings on a car or trailer. Free but with zero lash and have never gone wrong.

I too would be interested in the contact info. As far the saddle bag straps go I just crimped some electrical eyelets to a four lengths of Paracord and attached the eyelets on the inside to one of the nuts retaining the catch to the lid and one attaching the catch to the saddlebag body. I place one at the front and one at the rear of each saddlebag. I made the length long enough so the lids would hang against the chrome crash bars so as not too scratch the paint on the saddle bags.

A few weeks ago my wife's Nephew and his wife from Highland IL., both tested positive for covid. They apparently contracted it from a co-worker at work He called in to say she was experiencing covid like symptoms. Their employer instead of recommending she either get tested or isolate until she was sure, told her if she did not show up for work she would be fired. Shortly there after my wife's sister and her husband also from Highland IL., tested positive as well. They all quarantined and no further symptoms arose. Just after midnight Fri. Her sister started having breathing issues. With her husband asleep upstairs and feeling she would not make it up the stairs she got in a car about 2:00am to go to the Hospital. She was pulled over for erratic driving and the officer finding her semi incoherent rushed her to the Hospital were she was place on high flow oxygen. and began doing some tests> because she is diabetic and already has liver issues, they were limited in what tests they could do including a CT scan, so therefore they could not say for sure if it is covid or diabetes related. This morning she was placed on a ventilator. As well a few hours after she arrived at the Hospital Her husband was also admitted as his breathing became very difficult and was also placed on high flow oxygen Neither had any fever or any of the other usual covid symptoms other than a cough and then sudden difficulty breathing. At this point we still do not know for sure if it is covid or not but things do not look well for either of them. With my wife's mother passing away some years ago and her father's passing last Mar., Her sister is her last remaining direct Family Member. So if your so inclined please offer up prayers for them or if not your best wishes on their behalf. Thanks Ben

Another loss to family, friends and VR may he he rest in peace.

The currant air compressor and valveing system used on all MKI and MKII class systems has everything you want other than dropping pressure to zero with ignition switched off. You should be able to adapt it to what you want, though I am not sure why you would want it to drop to zero. On that note check out any truck parts supplier and ask for an electric over air valve. they are often used in things like lift axles. They come in normally open or normally closed. The valve is approximatly 1 inch in dia and 2.5 inches long. You can also check companys like Parker Hannifin or Norgren https://www.haldex.com/en/na/suspension-controls/valves/electric-solenoid-valve/90054074/

Some interesting PDF's on plastic repair NOTE: plastifix and Plastex powder repair kits are identical. PlastiFix.pdf The Book of Plastic Repair.pdf Plasti-Mend Black.pdf Plastex.pdf

I attached a PDF of the pastifix I used and a PDF of an interesting document on plastic repair. You can also go to plastifx.com to see a line of other products they carry. Note Plastex and Plastifix are the same. PlastiFix.pdf The Book of Plastic Repair.pdf

I can only guess at how this process would work but sounds to me you would be cheaper off searching for used parts. Besides using the wife's oven is risky they always find out. Trust me I know

I swear by plastifix also known as plastex rebuilt my bike with it 13 years ago and still holding up. Here one of the pieces I rebuilt including adding new tabs. I used white plastifix to build the tabs only because I had it and was running short on black. I embedded a couple layers of fiberglass drywall tape into the back side to add strength. The other beauty is yo do not need spot putty it sands out beautifully and you can keep adding and sanding until you have a perfect paint ready surface.

Condolences to you and your family.

You need to remove/lift off the complete console then flip it over. you will then see the four nuts you need to remove to lift out the speaker and grill together then simply separate the grill and speaker

Actually its the parallel universe. It causes other things to disappear as well, like the wrench, screwdriver or hammer etc. that you just had in your hand then magically reappear later.
