I ordered my parts from parts monster if you look at different years same # its a good part number. and behind number is a link to new part numbers. mine was a 83 year ordered all parts available. now turn on the heat so I can work on it. lol

mine hadn't run in years when I got it. 2 years ago. last year we drove it down to Huston mo area. we loved it, plan on riding some distance this year also. if you think its stuck put in gear and rock it back and forth. I have about 2000 in mine now. all new parts. yours shouldn't be any way near that much. not to bad to work on and there is a wealth of knowledge here.

good luck on getting cured odds are a lot better now a days. I see you have a ipers job. i'm thinking about retiring also. fighting a different kind of battle.

got my cables today. clean work.

got my parts today for water pump. used parts monster saved over 60.00 over local yamaaa dealer all factory parts. they just moved all there sites to one address pick what ya ride one location. good parts break down with price. even got factory thermostat

sent payment thanks dingy. extra wire and housing price included

so far found #3 hose replacement advance 5570450,auto zone a71651. that's off this site haven't tried it yet. doing the same thing if you get other hose numbers post on here would ya. any one out there with more info for first gens

gary I will take a set with extra wires. also do you have a thermostat housing for a 83 royal. pm me when you get a chance. for prices

I have a propane confection heater but need to make a area to work on my bike. ttwo trucks in pieces to cycles 3 tool boxes and pile of lumber and tools every where o did I tell you I hord tools not kidding y'all..

well got my upgrade kit from skydoc today now if it would just warm up. still waiting on my waterpump kit and thermostat with housing. wanting to change all radiator hoses also.

today the previous owner handed me the owners manual for my bike. he had run into it going through his dads stuff. i was supprized the wiring diagrams were in the back of manual.

well need to upgrade clutch or replace discs. as long as you drive normal it dont slip. wanting to pull trailer so it needs changed whats out there. cost is important no need throwing gold at old bike. that said will keep till not fixable.

well drained the antifreeze. tested to -37 on a thextron tester. plastic nut turns by hand. dont care for that must need o-rings replaced. any way the tec shows a tool for seal at pump impeller shaft. looks like parts will run around 150.00. thats rebuilding waterpump,thermostat, upgrade impeller,gaskets. the antifreeze was still almost green. lol. now going to start another thread. if i have to work on it might as well upgrade clutch:yikes:

my royal has a reserve. notch for key to turn it. pass foot rest covers it so good luck using it. its a 83. cant remember notch in side cover. after company leaves will have to look.

where do you drain antifreeze at. to cold to mess around and will have to drain it to change thermostat anyway. are oem part numbers still good and what all needs changed for thermostat replacement. was hoping for a early start this year. should i replace waterpump while at it. 83 royal xvz1200:fishin:

well started the bike today. let it sit and run in place snows to deep to move it and ice underneath noticed the temp was rising went to top of green just like summer. wanted to run a little hotter so i shut it down. puked antifreeze out of tank overflow. i think thermostat stuck. tested good this fall and last fall for temp-35. what ya think antifreeze cant go bad that fast can it.:confused07: what now.....

wow thats alot of sd cards. never knew there were different speeds. the camera on the back which way do you face it. if its backwards does it make ya sick watching.

thats great you havent turned her on you. only took me 13 years. for the first wife. this time got the right one. shes ahead of me all the time have to work at keeping up.

bought a sharper image camera during the sale. has any one had one and how well did you like it. and have you up graded or still using. never used one before but for 48.00 figured i would try it. its a 1080 hd.from menards. what kind do you use? also is it better mounted to front bike or helmet. did you have to put a bigger sd card in. etc pros and cons

happy thanksgiving back at you cant sleep. the clan is going to be at our house today. wish i lived in the country would have the kids out shooting clay pigeons and buckets. insted will be computer games and such. guess i just wanted to relive memory's.

im not a vet so dont have that option. went to wally spent 450 on glasses 200 each lens. but seem to work better than vision stores. will buy more when needed

wife and i took a ride yesterday. was around 54 quite a few bikes were out. was a nice ride then the wind started to blow. made us head back home. but enjoyed our time out. rode all back roads.

looks like it would be hard to keep cmu. plus would look better with something more modern. the cmu is old tech. could make a display to fit under new dash. free up area for mp3 or cup holder ,etc quite a bit of thinking of ways to build it. quite a few people on here know the wiring well. good luck and post pic as you build
