    Third fuel pump. My Wife's last year. Mine this Spring. Bought a facet pump 40171. So far so good

    2nd time on the side of the road. Wife's fuel pump with 51,000 km's. The Dealer is getting me a new one under warranty. I remember seeing some of the replacement pumps, will have to check out the archives. Are they solid state? Maybe carry one in my side bags. I haven't looked but I'll bet my bike's fuel pump is almost as bad, it has 56,000 km's. Yamaha wants $330.00 if you buy it yourself.

    Doh, 70 dollar lesson . Had the day off and we were itching to ride. Thought it would charge

    I swapped batteries put mine in Hers and it started right up. Charged hers and got it tested everything was good, then put it in mine. Got the charging system checked out, no issues, $71 bucks please. I also went out and got a couple of fuel filters. Sucks though, are we destined to meet the side of the road again?

    We got stranded last friday on the 401. Cruising about 70mph passing a truck looked back no wife? Had to drive to the next overpass and it was a good ten minutes until I finally got back to her. Its an 09 rstd. Question The ignition switch had been left on over night and the battery was low and I jumped started it. Thought a nice long ride would bring it back up. The only accessory she had on was her sirius radio/mini amp I'm guessing here but, 2 to 3 amps?? The bike has an led tail light so that should almost negate the radio being on. Does the charging system have the juice to recover the battery? I remember a post but couldn't find it. Goose, you put on a volt meter sounds like a good idea where did you get it? What I found when getting back to the bike. Deb said it felt like it was running out of gas, sputtered a few times and died. She had tried to start it with no luck. I opened the gas cap lots of gas and the tank wasn't in a vacuum but then it was 10 minutes and it could have equalized. Turned on the ignition didn't hear the fuel pump. Battery didn't have enough juice to turn it over. Trailered it home. When I got it home I turned on the ignition switch and the fuel pump clicked about ten times, the battery must have recovered some??? What do you think? Battery discharging during the ride til it was too low to allow the fuel pump to run?? I don't have a good volt meter but it is over 13 volts while bike is running, accessory's on Thoughts?? Thanks

    Friend of mine is drooling over this one. I think this one is going to get some interest. Yamaha better stop sitting on the fence.

    Where did you get it from? The cheapest I've found so far is 95.

    While in NC, I stopped in at Wheelers on US 129. He was selling Flo reusable filters. A little pricey but over time could be worthwhile. If there any good?? Has anyone tried these? http://www.motorcycle-superstore.com/14/70/944/19141/ITEM/PC-Racing-FLO-Spin-On-Oil-Filter-With-Housing.aspx

    We like NC, Smoky's and the Parkway, had a great time with no problems. Only rained the first day so the bikes stayed in the trailer. The rest of the time we cruised. Bikes got misted in the clouds on the parkway but no issues. Was a little surprised at the amount of traffic even mid week. But then trees are changing color. Guy went down on the dragon, not sure what happened but looked like a trailer detached from a car, didn't see the bike but the guy was laying in the middle of the road and police were directing traffic. Hope He's okay. Starting to think of next year, any suggestions?

    Sorry, my mistake, should have checked, just put Michelin and radial together.
  13. Yammy
    Isn't the Michelin Commander 2 a radial?

    Update. I've had the battery box and coolant reservoir out twice. The first time I cleaned all the connectors I could find and used dielectric grease on them. Put it back together and it was still running on two cylinders, but the opposite two? Back apart again and I cleaned out all the connections and reassembled without grease and its running again. Took it out for a three hour tour and everything seems okay. Ran out of time to test with water, i'm working til Friday and we're heading to NC Saturday. So its untested that way, those of you in NC if you see a big guy riding B on the back of his Wife's bike please don't get in an accident while laughing We're going to trailer them down so we'll try to avoid riding in the rain.

    You would think so? But not sure. I was afraid the bike wouldn't be ready by Friday if I left it to them. We're heading to NC for ten days. Hope the weather is okay
  16. Yammy
    Not finished yet but will check all the connectors I can find. Hope to get the bike working this week. We are planning to head down to NC first week in Oct. for two weeks. Wife said if my bike doesn't work I can ride behind her. Now, that would be a sight, I'm a big guy.
