If working right all a thermostat does is make sure and engine reaches a certain temp then it opens and lets the coolant flow into the radiator to cool down. If the coolant is hotter than the thermostat is made for it will stay open allowing it to circulate in the system. Adding a super cooler to the anti freeze coolant should only be added to lower the temp of the coolant but not allow it to cool lower than the thermostat or it will over heat. If it's running cooler the thermostat will not open and cannot circulate thru the system causing other problems,
I only use the choke when it's cold but try starting before pulling on the choke, idles slowly then by the time I'm ready it's running fine. If I smell gas when I go out to start it I open the gas cap for a moment then go through the process. I also don't hit the start button until the pump stops loading up. should not say this but I never have trouble starting the bike.
take her along for dogs and chips, she can drive, don't need to be on a bike even though you have and extra one in the garage, maybe tippy will let her use the scooter.
last year was heading north on I-75, I was doing 75 and was passed by two bike doing about 90+ five miles up the road they were both of the road on a curve in the woods. I did not see them go off but three cars were parked on the side of the road and in the woods helping. I stopped but nothing I could do and left when the cops and med team pulled up. the people there said both bikes flew by them and didn't make the curve. Both were crutch rockets.
Found it. by Sleepy2 on 7-5-16 License plate mount needed in the watering hole
Well I found one on e-bay for $5+$30 shipping so I tried to and did make my own out of 1"wide by 1/8"thick flat steel. It was fun making the different angles that it has to have but it works well. Figured with the thicker metal and no slots just 2 holes for plate should last almost forever!
nope. the Harley lights are right but the Yamaha bracket is thin and broke from the weight of the HD lights. the thread I was looking for he said he made a bracket from flat steal and it will never break. that's not the one
Been on a few trips now and they work great. the phone works great also. don't have any music on my phone and I need a new computer so I can load some songs to the phone.
