  1. Just trying to kill off a few of those Robin sized mosquitoes you got down Eckster
  2. And if you put a light smear of Yamabond 5 on the leading edge of the diaphram it will slide pretty easily in between the plastic discs and seal it when it dries.
  3. on the new scoot John - THAT IS GORGEOUS!!:clap2::dancefool: Them Strommers are strong scoots, definitely a step toward the sport side of touring instead of the touring side of the sport.. I am also one of those folks who will be waiting to hear more about your future outings on that new baby!! By the way,, THANKS for the update and the

  5. Never worked on an RSV Ky but gotta wonder if your problem might be petcock related.. First thing that popped into my mind was fuel pump, filter and tank vent too - ya covered those. Not sure how the petcock is built on an RSSV but most of the old scoots at a screen at the entrance of the petcock and a screened bowl on the bottom that could plug up.. If it were mine, I would look and see if I could slide the fuel line off the nipple on the petcock or down at the fuel pump - turn the gas on and see what kind of flow your getting.. Another thing that can do some crazy stuff is if you got water in your fuel somehow, maybe drain the float bowls into a clear glass container (baby food jar?) and see what comes out.

  8. Hey Teej, I am one who would really NOT prefer you call it quits as far as input here. Understanding insurance companies and predicting how they will respond to a claim is a tough job. I have had a couple of big dollar claims that the insurance companies I was dealing with found a way to weasel out of paying out and I can tell you from first hand experience that it is no fun. I think one of the greatest ways to protect ourselves from being found in that set of shoes is by doing exactly what you have done with this thread - YOU ARE APPRECIATED TJ! I also know that being a "No Fault" State, Michigan has some strange insurancing practices when it comes to motorcycles that may or may not be pertainent to this thread. We (Michigan) have the Catastrophic Fund that we are charged for in our policies (and its a pretty hefty sum) whether it be for Auto or Motorcycle. The way that works (to my understanding) is that if an injury claim goes over a certain amount (thinking that number is 300k dollars) that the coverage gets picked up by "the fund". There is a huge loop hole in the fund rules that says that if you are injured on your scoot and the accident does not involve a car, you are NOT covered. Sad because we (in Michigan) are required to pay for the fund but we have totally different rules when on our motorcycles than in the car.

  13. WELCOME to VR Mcola and CONGRATS on the new scoot!! NICE FIND!!
  14. Way way`way way cool on the heal/toe Chief,, THAT is just bad to the bone!! So I get to gawking at those and then notice the rest of aftermarket stuff on your bike.. Gotta ask,, looking at the rear boards it appears to have an outboard board and an inboard board and what appears to be an extra chrome bar leading diagnally from the inside floorboard toward the rear of the bike.. What's that all about,, was that a side hack scoot or something? Also noticed lots of other aftermarket stuff, think I am seeing chrome air intakes on the fairing, lighted front bumper, chrome front mud flap.. Got any other shots of cool stuff on it you could share with us? Any chance you have any shots of this scoot back when it was a rider? I just betcha THAT was one awesome scoot!! THANK YOU for sharing the pics that you did Chief - WELL DONE!!!

  18. So we can do this at MD this year as long as we can find a willing Cat that knows how to fly and operate a video camera?
  19. Been goofing around syncing carbs for a fair amount of time, used a mercury mano till it got wrecked by an errant employee.. Played with Vacuum gauges, then picked up an electronic Twin Max - I LOVED the Twin Max - probably the most accurate setup possible. Have played with the Motion Pro and others that style, worked ok (IMHO, gauges are a more versatile and durable) as long as it was new and the slides didnt get sticky.. Latest set I bought and have been using are like shown in the following link. A HUGE part of the reason I bought this particular setup is because of the adapters that came with them and the fact that they have adjustable restricter valves. I have done A LOT of other bikes beside our Yams with these and most of those other bikes (old Honda Wings, Honda SOHC 750's ect.) do not have "nipples" on the intakes to attach to, you have to pull screws from the intakes and screw an adapter in to attach the vac hose to. Some of those manifolds are well hidden - notice the variety of adapter lengths in the gauge set in the link.. IMHO, this little set is the best bang for the buck, especially if your planning to tinker with a variety of other scoots.. Would LOVE to hear others opinions.. http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-Vacuum-Carburetor-Synchronizer-carb-sync-Gauge-Yamaha-XS-XJ-1100-1200-/391377479287?hash=item5b1fea6677:g:5O4AAOSwxH1UGRHV&item=391377479287&vxp=mtr

  24. YEEEE OUCH TEEJ!! Hope you looked at your insurance Agent and told em its a good thing your retired cause you will have to spend a lot more time racking up miles on your scoots to justify those prices LOL!! Got an idea brother,, make a BUNCH of our Greet-Meet and Eat Meats this summer,, all those free Hot Dogs should off-set your insurance costs significantly!!
  25. because every time they twisted up the R's on that V-Max motor it created a gravitational pull that kept dragging the moon toward their little Space Ship.. This made those little Yoda looking creature's eyes go as wide as their saucers. As they headed home, the head Yoda looked at his Martian Mates and said "Them Yamaha folks sure know how to make a motor, to bad they
