We were blessed to have our daughter and new granddaughter, Hayden, home for Thanksgiving. We got to take Hayden for her first ride Saturday! As we rode around the neighborhood and she was a little apprehensive at first but warmed up pretty quickly and enjoyed the ride. It looks like we have another biker in training...

OK folks, a couple of worry wart questions from the dirvers seat: I moved my TCI last weekend. The job was the expected PITA but its done now. I took the bike for its first ride to work since the relocate today. I find that the original problem, a misfire under load at 3k rpm's and above was still there but less frequent than I was used to before. The problem always did seem to be temperature related. It was much more apparent on cool mornings than warm afternoons. Today, the engine was rock solid when I set off from home but as she warmed up there was a short period where she would mis fire and then she seemed to get through it and ran flawlessly again. It was as though there was a troublesome tempreature band she went into and then out of as she warmed up. I have yet to open this TCI but I am prepared to do so if necessary. I suspect that I'll find an iffy solder joint somewhere inside that is sensitive to thermal expansion. Meanwhile I am trying to characterize the fault and the effects that the TCI move has had on the situation. While riding, I was wondering / worrying about the reasoning for Yam's engineers to put the TCI where they did. Do we know anything about their original thinking? Does the TCI actually require some cooling from the air flow in its stock location? If so am I damaging it by running it up top? What sort of miles have folks here got running bikes with relocated TCI's ? Is there any indication that the TCI's are more prone to fail after a relocation? Thanks, Brian H. -
This past spring I rode my 89 VR to ST. Louis and back, while out ther had an issue with coolant leaking overnight. Attributed to different metal types cooling at different rates. Temps here have been pretty cold, but warmed up some today. So when I was in the garage today there it was again that puddle of coolant!!!! , without even having the engine hot!!!??? I rode that thing all summer with no problems. Help!!!!!!!

My "New to me" 85 is the coldest natured one I have seen. All 1st Gens (except Skids) take warm-up time but this one takes about 20 miles before it smoothes out and runs like it should. Little embarassing taking off at work with those Jardines and it spitting and sputtering. Sounds great when I get there because its all warmed up. Color-Tune time? Sync is close and plug that I pulled looked new. Got to be something to smooth it out. Haven't had time to dig into it just looking for ideas got tomorrow off

I took the new to me RSV down the road for a short ride this afternoon. Only went a couple of miles so I didn't get a real good chance for evaluation yet. So far so good. I have to lose the stock windshield and the brick and stone tires. The steering head may need a little attention. I didn't really get the oil warmed up but so far I didn't notice any whine, at least not compared to my '03. Lots of noise from the tires though.
