Don’t make the same bone headed mistake I made. If you need a jump from a car, make sure the car is not running. They are both 12v, but the alternator from the car puts out more than 12v and much higher amperage than your bike. Just hooking up the cars battery will be plenty to start your bike. Thankfully it didn’t cause too much of a headache for me, but it could have been much worse.

Thanks Don!

Here is a tread on how to repair it if it's leaking. Or you can contact him and he offers the service,.

Hope you feel better soon and I'll think about you today while I'm riding

I'm in.

Careful with additives,,, they can make the clutch slip and they are hard to 'wash' out.

We could come over, fix the scoot and test drive it for you, and check your fridge and freezer in the process.

Here's my list since buying the bike in Sept: Cassette delete and turn it into a storage cubby. CB delete. Moved the radio antenna from right side to left side & replaced the whip antenna w/ a shorty (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000K50HAI/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) Hardwired a bluetooth receiver in behind the fairing, tapping into the 12v port wiring and then the cassette aux jack (https://www.ebay.com/itm/Car-Stereo-Truck-Home-Add-on-3-5mm-Input-Audio-Bluetooth-Receiver-Adaptor-12V/331841419661?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649) Mounted a phone holder/charger on handlebar, also tapped into 12v port (https://www.ebay.com/itm/Universal-Motorcycle-Cell-Phone-Handlebar-Mount-Holder-USB-Charger-with-Switch/192956706728?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&var=493147868608&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649) Got super, duper lucky and found a NOS Yamaha touring saddle (Corbin) on Ebay from a Canadian Yama dealer. Total cost was $350 including shipping!!!! Replaced the aftermarket toe shifter, the PO put on, with a stock heel/toe shifter. Replaced aftermarket grips w/ stock, including weights. Removed the chrome radiator grill PO put on. Moved the trunk back. Removed the tank mount for headset cable and for now the cable is tucked up inside the fairing. Will remove it next time I have the fairing off.

Swung a leg over it and rode it to work this morning.
