After having the gas cap stuck since I first got the bike, I was able to get the cap off! With the help of a pipe wrench, pry bars, and plenty of cuss words we were able to rip the cap off. Sadly, one of my keys (the uglier one) was bent in the process, but his sacrifice will be remembered forever in this thread. Now I can buy a battery and put gas in the tank so I can try to fire her up. Actually my key is only turning to ACC, and not all the way to ON so I'll have to figure that out once I get the battery on there. I'll be looking for a new gas cap and a replacement key, and thank you to plenty of people who have been major help throughout the process, I could not have done it without you!

You're doing that old gal justice, nice work 👍

On my 2nd gen I sit on the bike, keeping it strait up and take an extendable inspection mirror and check it like that.

Center stand is quite alright, thinking that's how it's mostly done.

I've been wanting to say thank you. I did what you said and it worked. Hopefully I was able to get most of the debris out of there. Thanks again sir!

The hose coming from the center of the breather is acting as a PCV. The one off of the left front corner is a drain for the breather. Oil in either one would indicate an overfill situation of the crankcase, or maybe excessive blowby in the engine for the center one. Oil in the sight glass should be no more than halfways up the glass when the bike is straight up.

Really nice!!! Bet you used a lot of 'Dutch Cleanser'. Looks like you are thoroughly enjoying this.

Here @BlueSkyis my preference. https://www.piaa.com/store/p/159-H4-XTreme-White-Plus-Single-Halogen-Bulb.aspx The silver-star ultra is a good second choice and easier to find. I have tried a couple LED Lights but found that though they are brighter the projection and contrast is poor. I want to see objects in time to stop not just right in front of me as I am about to hit it. Some have found LEDS that do seem to focus but my advice is if you want to go LED replace the whole headlight with a quality LED sealed beam.

And here I thought you only specialized in selling old oil

This is 2021. White and blue were the colors. The new release would be for 2022. Yamaha usually does there releases in Sept. Hoping they come out with another red one like my 2018, might trade up.

It need not always have to have a big time name attached to it , some little things do a lot .
