Rick....you just aint' right

:no-no-no: I suppose after having a 1st gen all those years you had to come up with something to not like the G2 :stirthepot:

 

 

:sign20: :sign20:

 

you know, I test rode an '07 a couple years ago on one of those Yamaha "Star Days"... it was a group ride and I was so busy keeping an eye on the idiots ahead and behind me, and the road they took us on (which was back roads mostly) I really didn't get a "feel" for the bike.... now that I've ridden this one I find the ride and handling so different from my '87 that it's going to take a wee bit of time before I'm totally "one" with it. Having said that... I LOVE it so far! I was telling Nina that I'm experiencing a feeling similar to what I had way back in 1969 when I bought my very first motorcycle which, incidentally, was a new Yamaha. I'm sure you (and the others) can relate to that feeling. This is the first time since then that those feelings have been evident.

Like I said before, you already paid for more parts, with the meals you had bought last weekend. The tricky part, will be timing the next US purchase, to get the best exchange rate possible.

 

BTW I picked up the solid motor mounts today, from the post office.

After last weekend I thought you had a few screws loose:stickpoke:, I confirmed it today.......

 

All three retaining screws for your gear indicator switch were loose. That is why the leak & indication problems. There is also a small crack at one of the switch mounting holes (not in the engine casting), but that should not be a problem, as it goes to the outer edge. :2cents:
